Recurrent negatives include intrusive ads, crashes or opening failures on iOS devices, loss/poor loading of live video, outdated updates, and frustrating navigation or skimpy story details.

2024-02-24	Gi*****	The latest update asked for me to update alerts/notifications. Updating breaking news was fine but on the iPhone SE after updating the weather location I could not scroll down to an update button

2021-02-07	Fo*****	You took away the live broadcast of the news! I don’t live in the area so my ‘Internet Provider’ isn’t on your list of providers and will never be - Pittsburgh. I enjoyed watching the news and keeping tabs on events in the NEPA region. Now, I can’t watch. I’m sure I’m not the only one annoyed. Funny I can watch Philadelphia stations.

2020-10-10	dr*****	One of the most useless apps created. Lucky if it stays connected to watch news and weather. Wouldn’t expect anything else. DeathStar wants you to get Newsnation app, haha I don’t think so.

2020-01-14	br*****	Bro, the app is so awesome with the weather. I got this because I had no whether apps, I tried a lot of Other whether apps but they won’t work, but this is The one I should’ve got in the first place, so people If you are looking for a whether app, try this first
