Please Fox 13 News correct the problem with not being able to watch it in landscape mode. When you watch it in horizontal mode it's a teeny tiny screen and you have to make sure your phone stays horizontal. If your phone goes even the least bit to the horizontal position the app closes you have to re-sign back in and watch a commercial all over again. I even tried signing on in landscape mode and the picture is too big for your screen and will still crash momentarily. As long as you sign on in the horizontal position and you keep your phone in the horizontal position then the livestream stays on for you but it's so small it's almost unwatchable. I see that other people have reported the same thing and it's not being corrected. Why not?

Works fine. But the notifications can be annoying. I like the breaking news notifications. But they push way too many useless notifications like food trucks, fishing reports and so on. Give us the option of what notifications are pushed to us. Other apps have different categories of notifications you can turn on or off. Would be useful for me anyways

Everytime I am using this app it shuts down and displays " unfortunately something has went wrong". We work outdoors and watching the news is Extremely important to us. This is a very unreliable app, but this is the only news we are willing to watch because it has the most accurate weather forecast for our area. Please do what ever you need to do to fix these glitches. We are extremely disappointed with this app but we rely on this news station. Thank you so much!
