First, the problem: the alerts/notifications. STOP IT with the useless pictures. There's just enough headline to be vague, and an utterly USELESS picture/graphic that cuts off what may or may not be useful info. WE DON'T NEED A PICTURE OF SOMEONE AT A MICROPHONE!!! Please, please get RID of the pics with the alerts. Otherwise, there are reasons this is the only local news app I have - and that's because it's relevant without being overbearing, and it's easy to navigate.

Terrible app. No ability to customize alerts. Bombarded with "Breaking news" all day long for every single story, most of which are not even newsworthy. What's worse, the app experience is identical to watching the news. Every "breaking news" story is nothing more than the fluffy introductory blurb that an anchor would read on a newscast, followed by the video. I downloaded the app so I could quickly scan each story. If I wanted to actually "watch" the news, I would turn on the TV. Uninstalling

the fact that the first image on the screen every time I open your app is the latest shooting or murder is a disgrace to our city. is it not possible for your staff to find a story of goodness or help from one person to another to pull us up out of the apparent hopelessness of life and bring out the good??
