March 2026 App update

New app update was designed for advertisers, not viewers. Removing full newscasts and forcing us to click through a dozen 'segmented' clips is a blatant move to juice ad revenue at the expense of the user experience.

I hope you hate functional apps!!

Garbage coomercials, random ad walls, all of the sponsored links work, but guess what??? The actual headline links don't work at all!! If you love getting stupid updates at 0700 and hate when an app works correctly, this garbage app is for garbage people just like you!!

Ads.

Why all the ads and false links. It is a shame when you come to this app to get latest news or weather information and instead you get ads.
