This app is way too problematic. Having reliable local news is important, but it’s too difficult to use this app. From videos going full screen on their own while trying to read, to there being too many adds, to article notifications opening to the app home screen instead of the article. I’ve tried to like this app for so long and just can’t try anymore, it’s too annoying.
