Advertising video before every story. Some of the ads are up to a minute long. That's longer than the news clips I'm trying to watch. Sometimes the news article doesn't load and pushes out another ad. Very frustrating! Also, live video does not work at all... Hasn't worked in months. I used to like this app. I'm going to try other news station apps and give them a chance.

Way too many commercials. They don't let you skip ad. News feed will freeze or cut off in the middle of the feed, and start over. This app used to work well and have less commercials. When you try to watch breaking news, it won't play at all since the last update. The play button and live button just have the spinning circle that never stops.

The app videos take forever to load over 4g. I have a brand new phone and it does it on my other phone as well. Some of the people writing the stories dont re-read their article and i find errors all the time. Please learn proper grammar and pronunciation. Just about ready to delete the app. Also as the news, they tend to lean a certain way when I believe their stories should be neutral. Your the news, not judges. Bring the news. Not what you think is right or wrong. Again that's my opinion.

I have a love/hate relationship with this app. When I first downloaded it years ago it was perfect - just the right news stories. Now it gives so much clickbait it's really annoying. It also will tell bad news (i.e. Wildfire news and updates CONSTANTLY) but never an actual resolution. Also, sometimes if you click on a push notification it doesn't even take you to the story it pushed and it's hard to find. Really annoying. But I put up with all of that because it also does inform me of news.

Clicking on notifications is impossible. It won't open the story, i continuously need to shut the app down and reopen the app then attempt to find the story. Another issue i have is being forced to watch videos, the more you scroll through an article the video continues to try and play. I don't want to keep closing the video 10 times while trying to read an article!!

The app is easy to use. However the past few weeks the share button doesn't work at all for me. It did before. The one thing that I really dislike is the default to receive notifications from all over LA County which ends up being an excessive amount of notifications during the day. I think that there should be greater thought put into which stories will send notifications or the app should automatically prompt you when you download to select what you'd like the notifications to be for.
