As soon as i noticed the version that i had, would no longer play videos, i knew what was coming. More ads, less content. The old version of the app was deliberately prevented from working, to get people to upgrade. The new version is terrible. Way more ads. Way more scrolling. Bigger thumbnails so you can see those ads better. Can't fast forward through ads. Terrible app.

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.

yall need to seriously update or fix the bugs in this app. you cannot watch a video that's inside of a video. it goes str8 to ads and then full action news clip. this is the 10th time I've encountered this very issue. please take this into consideration and review app for bugs and technical issues. thank you, until its further fixed my review will be a 1 start even though this news station is amazing
