None of the videos play. If all you do is read the headlines it's okay but now that all news stories are just a link to a video with no story to read, it makes an app which loads no video like this one pretty useless. I have 1gig Internet.... it's not my connection... something is wrong with the app or its source for video feeds. It's badly broken. If your video doesn't load inside of 5 seconds remove the app from the app store or take it back to text.

Good stuff, but poor editors. It seems that editors and writers who have a degree of some sort can't spell things properly. I'm not the grammar police, but when an alert pops up on my phone, the first snippet of information I see shouldn't be a misspelled word for someone who went to school for writing. I have seen roughly 10 grammatical errors in the past month, whether it be using a zero instead of an o, "slow" instead of snow, or spelling South Korea as South Korean. Makes me ? The integrity

Great source for news, but the search feature for finding old articles is TRASH. i.e. I tried to do a search for the new cell phone band while driving, nothing about it, all kinds of other articles from past 5-6 years, but nothing 2025. (Just one example) I ended up having to come out and just Google it. Do Better So You Can Be Better.
