Not the best app, pretty broken in places. like when you read a couple of articles and click on another one and all the sudden the only story it will show is the headline. No matter what article you click on it just decides to take you to a different one. Also, they need to learn to proofread the articles, they are always filled with spelling and punctuation errors.

This was a great app! Now when I get breaking news, it opens up the last article I read. If i get lucky enough to exit that article, I can search to find the breaking headline. Or I get blasted with a full screen ad. Before and after the "breaking" news. At least so far, you've fixed the broken links (someone didn't know https from http). I don't know who screwed this up, but I'd fire them.

I went to watch the news live on Tuesday at 11am while I was receiving chemo and got the early morning edition of the news. It is now past 5 on Wednesday night and I keep getting the message that something went wrong when I try to bring up the news live. I uninstalled the app, check my internet speeds are all good, install the new app and continue to get the message.
