I have no idea why you would get rid of a fully functional app and replace it with this one. The layout is not intuitive and I can't get the videos to play most of the time. I use it for my local news but if it isn't going to function I have other local news apps I can use. 6/24/26 The latest version directs most articles to the website where the article I wanted to see is buried among lots of other stuff. I'm guessing it's for ad revenue but it causes me to use a different news app instead.

New user forced off my previous local channel app (which worked fine). Thus far, I can find no way to access any settings whatsoever on this app. You turn off notifications on start up and that's it? No option to turn them back on? There doesn't seem to be a way to share an article either. Maybe there is and I'm missing it -- but there's no way to request help or leave feedback other than a review, so who knows? These are basic app functions that you're missing. Do better.

Used to be a big fan of the app in its original form. I also used to get 5 to 6 news notifications a day on all sort of news from central Florida; it made me feel close to home. Now, I have not gotten a single news notification since they changed app format (I lost count how many times I've checked my settings). Local news are not as prolific as they used to be. The news app may be a great cust-cutting measure, but it doesn't change the fact it doesn't deliver as it used to do before.
