This use to be a great news app. Hardly ever update always old news never ever send breaking news notifications or any notifications. I might get notifications twice a month So I just watch on TV because the app no good

Can't you do away with the full-time pause button and other graphics on the live-streams? Just give the option by tapping on the screen...full time distracts while watching news..

I liked this app, would give 5 stars if we could stop notifications we do not want! All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, I am getting sports trivia questions up to 5 times a day. Its very annoying! I want the news notifications or weather notifications. Not sports trivia thru the day. Please stop the sports trivia or allow us to opt out! I have been trying to opt out!!
