Please stop putting pictures in the push notifications. It cuts off the message, which forces the user to open the app, which then forces the user to get past a full-screen ad before reading the maybe-not-updated news item. The app is supposed to make getting information easier and faster and this setup does neither. ***6 months later, and the app is worse. I keep getting multiple notifications for news events over a month old...30+ in less than an hour. I am deleting the app.

New update lags. Goes back to first story after opening each article. Also displaying some sort of connection or possibly security concerns by flashing from the story to black repeatedly not allowing the story to be opened at all. Very much a headache. Wish there wasn't any update from the old one. It actually worked the way to expect.

I only put 1 star because 0 stars wasn't an option. I downloaded this today, about 30 mins ago, that's how long it took to actually be useable. When I opened the app for the FIRST TIME, it kicked me out. [WDBJ7 has stopped working]. I gave it a second chance, same error message. This app sucks,.! Don't waste your time.
