You need to fix your broken app icon.

This is my first experience with a Google Play Store app, that based on your app notification settings, promotes a political agenda. The ad revenue paid to the app developer, "The E. W. Scripps Co", is also reflective of the apathy or negligence of Lexington's “LEX 18 News” ownership. This developer also has an additional "57" local & regional TV news apps through Google Play Store. The Trump organization ad, disguised as a poll, was a disappointing surprise from my app download. Refuse the con❗
