Recent reviews

Most headlines are too vague to understand: can’t tell who & where it’s about. But some ARE very local but don’t give specifics. Also, clicking on some stories brings up scam screens that I can’t get off. Now started getting scam texts.

The amount of ads to read an article is ridiculous! I mean you can’t skip them and to get to one article you go through3 30-45 second ads? Longer than it takes to read the story!
