This app fails to do what I've downloaded it for spectacularly. I've got it for the weather but it fails to show anything. It only displays ads most of the time and and when it does give me weather information it's usually just cloud coverage. I think they try to push a recording of the weather, but that only shows after a 30 second ad. If you want local news it somewhat works for that, which is why I give it 2 stars, but with it's lack of weather information makes it impossible to recommend ap

I will probably delete this app it is awful and useless on Android operating systems. It takes 2 or 3 attempts to open the app successfully, articles only partially load with media missing it's utter garbage and leaves an incredibly negative experience for the user. Easily one of the worst news apps on the play store.

Half of the links don't do anything or don't do what they're suppose to do. For example, the menu icon link does nothing and the "Continue Reading" button/link simply takes me back to the top of the page and never links me to the rest of the article, read down to the "Continue Reading" button, click it, back at the top of the page, read the same thing again down to the button, click it, repeat.
