Worst news app ever. Login issues. Never works. Can't read any articles. For the love of Pete WHY MUST CONTINUALLY LOG IN! Especially after a Chiefs game when I want to get your reporting staff's take. THE WORST! Can't access the content on the app.

I have to log in basically every time I open this app, and it usually takes at least 2 attempts to log in via Google connection. App is really poor overall
