No news for current day; search keeps going blank while typing subject; site jumps & blinks. I updated the app & even restarted my phone. Did not help. I don't like this news app nor the radar on updated weather app. Was SO much better the changes.

both kplc apps (weather and news) are rife with spam, virus infiltrated ads, and junk. Whoever maintains the 2 apps needs to take a look at what has taken them over..All the junk has made the apps unsafe and almost unusable.
