Can't choose Kansas City as your location in this app. That sucks. We have Fox 4 local news in this city.

I have no idea why you would get rid of a fully functional app and replace it with this one. The layout is not intuitive and I can't get the videos to play most of the time. I use it for my local news but if it isn't going to function I have other local news apps I can use. 6/24/26 The latest version directs most articles to the website where the article I wanted to see is buried among lots of other stuff. I'm guessing it's for ad revenue but it causes me to use a different news app instead.
