I hate this updated platform. I used this app for years to get my local news but will now have to find something else. The endless advertisements & click bait disguised as news ads are more than I can take.

This new change is horrible. Too many pop up ads and it doesnt seem to offer very many news stories.

The WORST APP EVER! It's irritating to access stories. Ads play without prompt. Almost All times, while trying to load articles they do not load. Then you're taken back to the Home page to attempt to load article again. It's Not User Friendly! I'm uninstalling the app.

What happened to sharing in the latest update? Ever since the 15 April update, I've not been able to share an article... just the link to the entire app. So I've stopped sharing all together. If trying to pass on an article by posting, email, etc... no one knows which article I'm referring to.

New format is frustrating. Stories repeat over and over and make it difficult to find the most recent news. I'm very close to uninstall......

The april 2021 update is awful. Go get the channel 3 app. At least it can load a news story without crashing or blanking out. Also, this should really be called the Sonic Advert Ap bc you see more Sonic food ads than news.
