I liked the old one where you can just see the headlines and choose want I want to look into. It also gave me Delco news. It was easier to navigate. I have no idea how to look up school closings or anything else in particular that I'm looking for without scrolling through EVERYTHING!!! This is the first time I visited the app since I wrote my post. I think it's time to uninstall it. The change was a downgrade in my opinion, very disappointed.

Until the latest update loved this app especially for streaming the morning news. Now it's a hassle to try to even watch the live stream. There is no option to watch in full screen, turn the phone horizontal and the two large gray bars for the app make it impossible to see what is being shown. Update: as previously stated there is no button for full screen. I would be happy to include screen shots in an email.

The app shows news articles that when you open them becomes really annoying to watch. It keeps getting cut off by ad interruptions. Once in a while you might be able to view a news video. There have also been times when I've decided to read instead of watching but the ad interruptions have not allowed me to finish reading at least one article. This app unfortunately needs work, and that's sad when you live in the Philadelphia area.

This is a wonderful app that gives you all the local news, sports, weather and entertainment you want and you can customize what you want to see that's relevant to you.

Used to enjoy this app. The app stalls. Then an error message appears with close, wait or another option I don't pay attention to. I usually select wait. It's beyond annoying to keep closing the app and reopening as I have several times. I rarely watch the videos as I prefer to read it. I can choose what stories I'm interested in. Whatever you did when you updated, undo it!

As noted by other users earlier this month, sometime in late September / early October, when the app is opened, after the Welcome screen, the app just starts clocking. Was hoping for an update to resolve this but with none coming, uninstalled and reinstalled app. Problem persists. This was my primary news app. Guess I have to find another.
