Can’t access

Says it wants to allow for ad tracking. No way to accept or deny or exit at all. Also can’t go online to read because it only directs to app. Please fix!

Constantly sending alerts for low quality stories

Was great for years when you’d only get occasional alerts for breaking news or weather, but the latest update alerts your phone for every stupid story possible. It’s completely unnecessary, annoying, & distracting, & there is no way to turn it off. After using this app since it first launched it’s a shame that I’m now forced to delete it & look elsewhere for local or breaking news.

Please open up

I’d like to be able to see Jimmy Kimmel. This is my vote to get him back on air in WNC.
