Will load 1st couple of stories each day, then takes forever to load a story. Have Uninstaller, but doesn't help. 12/05/15. Now won't load any articles! Worthless! Seriously! Today is 5-08-23. Still a worthless app!! 8 years & still haven't fixed the problems. Just try to read an obit!!

I open the app & an ad pops up & locks everything.

Not paying for a garbage local news app.
