Any story with a map in it never loads past that map, instead of infinitely scrolls blank space. Frequently, these stories will also not load properly in a browser. Most stories are of car accidents, crime, and gun violence. There's a button for weather... which you have to tap to get traffic information. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Videos all start with a 30 second ad and you have to wait for the ad to finish before you can put it into full screen. Videos often freeze a frame and keep the audio playing.

App is okay, but after recent update can't go full screen. There is no option to go full screen. Use to work just fine. If you want to use it to watch the news don't waste your time. It will frustrate you trying to get to full screen. You look for the icon to go full screen, turn phone or tablet to go full screen, close it open it, each time getting more adds. But you will not get full screen. It just updated again, with "bug fixes", but still no full screen option.

Aren't updates supposed to improve an app?? Paragraphs are randomly cut off mid-sentence. Can no longer view photos or video full screen nor zoom. Why would they take that away, on a NEWS app??? Always crime stories with suspect photos, can't view them close up. Background is now BRIGHT white on all pages, thin font nearly unreadable on that background. No settings to fix this. Unbelievable that this halfbaked, middle school project of an update was released. Think much? Test much? Sheesh.
