User reviews

Too many ads. I know they've gotta make money somehow, but still. Open a story, gotta watch an unskippable 30sec ad first. Another video halfway down, gotta watch another ad first. Tornado warning and sirens, click here to see a live weather report? Hope the tornado is more than 30 seconds from your house, because you've got to watch an ad first (yes, this actually happened).

Every time I open an article, instead of the app playing their videos muted, the app turns my phone's volume all the way down and stops any music playing. Won't use the app anymore until this behavior is changed.

The weather page only shows radar current conditions and reports a third of the time. More often nothing is shown. Will be uninstalling for a competitor that works.
