Font size of articles is larger than what my system seems to show me. There needs to be 1 or 2 other font size selections for the app with the default matching the system font size.

The app hardly works, and it fails to launch. When finally launches, the sound is distorted, so i need to relaunch. When it finally works, it turns off after a few minutes. It's very frustrating because I really like watching KTLA 5 and don't have access via Google (which worked great) like I used to. There isn't any sound via this method, and the app is terrible.

Instead of going into the living room to turn on channel 5, I just pull out my cell phone and there's channel 5 with all the important news that I'm concerned about. Especially, the weather in my city.
