You can't watch the story you get alerts for just some dumb random news stuff on so call live TV which is not, which have nothing I wanted to see. Really

I love Sally Mac & Lina. I can be laying in the bed and Lina will say something that will crack me up and that's how my day starts. I really don't like the news anymore but Lina (smh) can put a smile on my face. She's a keeper. Love Mike, Sally, Chelsey, Denise & Melissa too!

Way too many alerts and notifications, seems like every 15 minutes to an hour a notification pops up, and 99% is useless. Notifications should be for real breaking and urgent news, not everytime a politician opens his mouth, a water line breaks, dog farts, bird chirps, squirrel crosses the road. Things like water lines and boil notices are not breaking news, this kind of thing happens throughout the city every year, save notifications for actual urgent breaking news

The app is functional to say the least. The 2 main problems I have with it, are that yall send me notifications of horrific events in Houston, that were the reason I stopped watching the news on TV and started looking for independent news sources, and that your full screen video button does nothing.

Has room to grow. A search for in the app would be nice to look up certain stories you want to pull up again. Also, would love the option to choose what it alerts me on instead of everything. That would be a great future!

- Won't play in background. - Doesn't maintain context. If 'watching live' and accidentally touch screen to see other clip, when you tap 'back,' returns you to main page - not 'watch live.' so you must tap 'watch live' AGAIN.
