Absolutely terrible app. More often than not, it was spam the living hell out of your notifications and then when you actually click on one to see the story it goes to a blank page that says Android users click here if this doesn't work and then when you do it gives you an error page or blank page or maybe sometimes when it feels like it, the Q13 default page. You don't ever get to read or view the story. That would be too much to ask. Avoid this app like the plague it was written by amateurs obviously. Utter garbage.

Not as "Live and Local" as I'd prefer. Love the station, the people and styles of reporting. However - via phone - the LIVE button has ti be searched for, lotsa advertisements. I got rid of ALL cable connections (saves me $100/month) and tried using phone to get the local news ... the radio looks to be the best option for that/local news.

The news app would be MUCH better if there were actual categories for articles, not just every article lumped together without direction. For example, having categories such as "local news", "national news", "international news", "sports" etc, perhaps with subcategories like "North Sound", "South Sound" to further organize articles. As it is now, its messy, chaotic, and visually confusing. That's the number one reason I avoid the Q13 app unless absolutely necessary.

Q13 has gone down hill since they let walter kelly and the other great ancors go. This app shows exactly that, they are becoming more political and driven by money over news. So many ad's block the stories to where you can't read the articles because you lose track of where you are in the story. As if the articles are written all that well to begin with. Also, the app sends so many pathetic news tid bits via text messaging, can't tell if this is a mirror style format with a repeater.

No Chromecast Support. Enormous amount of 3rd party calls in the background. Your data is going everywhere! Ad blocking breaks the live news feed by delaying it indefinitely. No ad-free subscription options. The app has nothing useful I couldn't use the website to achieve. Edit: Still the same 2 years later. Now the Live News link doesn't even load a video. Pathetic.

I'm giving it a 3 for this reason, although I understand that you need the advertising for revenue and such it is still kind of annoying that there are so many in the way of the actual news. In every excerpt when watching a video thread there is one and really turn me off to going back and checking with the app at all.
