Any story with a map in it never loads past that map, instead of infinitely scrolls blank space. Frequently, these stories will also not load properly in a browser. Most stories are of car accidents, crime, and gun violence. There's a button for weather... which you have to tap to get traffic information. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Videos all start with a 30 second ad and you have to wait for the ad to finish before you can put it into full screen. Videos often freeze a frame and keep the audio playing.

App is okay, but after recent update can't go full screen. There is no option to go full screen. Use to work just fine. If you want to use it to watch the news don't waste your time. It will frustrate you trying to get to full screen. You look for the icon to go full screen, turn phone or tablet to go full screen, close it open it, each time getting more adds. But you will not get full screen. It just updated again, with "bug fixes", but still no full screen option.

The app decided not to play live news anymore, and no step I've taken works. The 30 days it worked was very convenient though. I can't get Kurt and Katie now.
