The app is useless if it does not automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode. A use case where this is a problem is when it is use during cardio workout on an exercise machine. With phones having the earphone jack at the bottom, the phone can not sit on the exercise machine in the portrait position so having to pickup the phone everytime a news video is played to switch the video into landscape mode is not practical.

Honestly, I see all sides, no one can predict my choice behind the Nov. curtain, ? * but I’ve decided not to watch ABC bc it’s very one-sided. Very partisan! I want all sides of all issues, I don’t need your opinion. Especially when it sounds so wimpy when broadcasted, time to grow a pair. This is exactly why ppl are moving out of Cali by the thousands... California was never so prejudice nor partisan. I grew up here as an immigrant (of value to USA) But sympathizing to the extreme of condoning looting is anti-American! And giving air-time to such is giving value. Where’s your BackBone? Brass Ovaries? Show so integrity! Pls. You have the power to DEFUSE or add Gasoline. You’re not defusing! You should be ashamed~ My sons are Active Duty Military TODAY fighting for the American Way, incl. Freedom of Speech, But not freedom to destroy & commit crimes, That’s not honoring anyone, especially our people who protect us! Putting down all Police is just not intellige...

I’ve used this app for a few years and lived with a lot of annoyances. One longtime issue was the app throwing up an alert about a news development on the lock screen, but when going to the app, it merely linked to the “home” screen. Sometimes merely finding the story mentioned in the alert was difficult (you’d think that it would be the top story given it was the subject of the lock screen alert). Well, they finally fixed that, but TODAY I kept encountering another super annoying issue. While reading one story, the app kept switching to a different story. It did this 4 times. The first time I thought I might have hit a link within the story I was reading. The next few times I was careful not to touch any text that might have been a link. Finally on the 4th try, I just watched the screen without touching. Sure enough, after about 20-30 seconds, the app just loaded the same story AGAIN about LA Police capturing Nipsey Hussle’s killer. In fact it’s something I had already looked at whe...

After a few years of dealing with this app I’m finally deleting it. I can’t anymore with how terrible it is. For starters the ads inside are such icky scam clickbait that it makes the news seem entirely unreliable. And I’ve sent messages to the creators about it before but I HATE that I have zero control over the news that gets pushed to my home screen. I should be able to say no to getting endless updates about sports, celebrity news, this person said WHAT? On Twitter??? BS, and for getting every single second play by play about things that don’t matter to me: “EVENT is today!” “We’re counting down to EVENT!” “EVENT is about to start” “EVENT just started” on and on until I want to die. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. THE NEWS IS NOT WORTH IT. THE TYPOS AND INCOMPLETE REPORTING ARE NOT WORTH IT. NOTHING THAT IS PROVIDED IS WORTH HOW ANNOYING THIS APP IS.

Heavily biased new source. While there is some good reporting that occurs from time time, its typically the financial, economic and/or consumer reports. Otherwise though on any topic even slightly more political, you can guess exactly this channel’s perspective and every point they will make about any topic/story before you even read past the headline. Most of us believe in social justice and making our society more inclusive, but Im sorry the perspective offered here is BORING. We’ve heard it all before and they don’t even use a thesaurus to mix up the words. Same intellectually basic and lazy take every time. Would love to see some nuance at least every now and then, but forgive me for being curious & trying to hear out others with differing opinions.
