Stopped using it after enjoying it for many years. As another reviewer notes, a live stream basically goes to sleep on you after a few minutes. This never happened before, and I haven't made any changes to settings on my phone. And no, I'm not about to change my sleep settings on my entire phone when this is literally the only video-streaming app that falls asleep on my phone!

This app is now terrible. When I follow a link it will partially load then become totally unresponsive, the screen grays out. I'll back out and close the app then it might totally load. I've deleted the app a half dozen times and reloaded it but that only fixes the first visit back. It's a pain in the butt. Their weather app works great. All the other apps work fine.

Like the other reviews have mentioned, since the recent update, the screen times out every 30 seconds or so while watching the live stream. I watch from 5-6 a.m. while getting ready for work, where there isn't a TV. This app used to be perfect, now unusable. I can't be tapping the screen every 30 seconds to keep the stream on. Disappointing.
