Good ap
By CKD2018 (Pcmac user)
The ap is good, I use it often. The only issue I have is when I get a breaking news update. It pops up on my phone when it is locked, which is what I want it to do but most of the time I don’t want to view it at that very moment, but usually within a couple minutes I end up unlocking my phone then doing something different, then wanting to go in and read it, but the article is not on the the app ap. So I end up having to google it or wait for quite awhile later to be able to read it on the ap.

Awful app
By osdsh (Pcmac user)
This app is terrible. Many of the titles are cut off of the headline stories such that you can't read the whole thing- even when you're on the page specifically for that story. Then the transcript is cut off also which makes it impossible to just skim the news when you don't want to sit and watch videos all day. There are lots of ads that pop up when you open the app. You have to watch an ad for about 15 seconds before you can watch the video clip you wanted to see. Half of the time the app crashes between the ad and the video, but if you make it through the video, it still crashes after that frequently. Hate that I have to literally click on national news to see anything that isn't local. Seems like users should be able to set preferences. Overall it's a glitchy, poorly designed app that I very much dislike.

To Worse, WOW even worse now 2018
By Bad748 (Pcmac user)
The only App with Pop-up Commercials! The is horrible, when that happens to me I just close the app, and go somewhere else for Iowa News.
How dare you waste my data plan minutes I pay for with a commercial. If I want to watch an ad I’LL MAKE THE DECISION. I understand if I pick a video to watch, (commercial first then video) Normally I just turn the volume off, and come back in 30 seconds.
But unwanted commercial I didn’t ask for. Pff…
Bad design and difficult to follow/use.
The most ads for a news group, HORRIBLE.
Takes over my speakers and shuts down my music too, if I wanted to listen to a story I understand. This is the only app I have that does that. Which is why I rarely use it first, I'll go to other Media apps 1st.
Rating STILL has not changed. Too slanted information and not just the facts. Turns OFF my music that I'm listening to, no other app does this, why?. I avoid this app for news due to this issue while listening to music.
Too many Ads, and worthless news.
Still the same only app to shut off my speakers. Too May ads!!! Silly miss leading headlines.
Oh and now using VUZ, BAD choice how about some national news from CBS.
Still a 1 star, be a half star if they had it.

Turn off your notifications
By Mimi mia tootsie 1825 (Pcmac user)
News coverage is great - no complaints. I would rate higher if I didn’t have a daily internal argument about turning off my notifications. While I do like being alerted to important news items, the staff does not seem to be able to discern what is important and what is not. Not every news story and/or news event is worthy of an alert. If they’d simply ask themselves before sending, “Will the largest majority of our app users see this notification and think, ‘Wow! I’m glad they told me about that!’” and NOT send if the answer is not “yes”, it would easily be a 5 star app.
Until then, just turn off your notifications and enjoy the rest of the features.
