As of a few weeks ago, I’ve been receiving constant notifications about stuff from all over the place. I used to only receive local news alerts, now I’ll wake up to 50-100 notifications from stuff in some rural town in a state two times zones away. This app was always my go to for local news, now there is no way I could recommend this to anyone. There’s also not an option to change the notifications for local news as of now. Really hope they go back to how it was.

Use to love the app I love watch out news when getting ready! But lately it’s been buffing more than showing the news! So I uninstalled it and then installed it back…Let hope this helps!!!!!!!
