Recent reviews

I would give this 5stars for the NEWS, but after you read a certain amount of stories they make you buy access. W-T-F⁉ Especially with NO prior warning Or explanation Or info. PLUS, we're FLOODED here on the Waccamaw w/electricity-cable problems and I WAS counting on this app to inform me about many FLOOD related issues, such as when we, as hard working Americans, could apply to FEMA. Thx but no thx to the forcing to pay Bulljive. I'll stick to our NEWS Stations apps.
