I have a daughter living in the area and wanted a news/weather app to get real time info. Installed this app multiple times but could never get past the opening screen. Finally tried turning on location service (usually have it off) and it opened right up. Even though I chose never use location service when using the app, the service still needs to be on when staring up the app…

Update: Now when I open the news app when I first wake up, I am startled by a loud ad! Why loud ads when opening the app!!?? I READ the news QUIETLY in bed in the morning & at night so as not to wake my sleeping dear. Is there a paid app available WITHOUT ADS? I hate having to scroll through yesterday’s news to find the newest articles!!! Why aren’t the newest articles posted first, on top of the old, then let the oldest articles fall off the bottom after a certain time? This morning, I had to scroll past 12 old articles from yesterday to find 5 current articles posted this morning. The newest should be first so that once I get down to the older articles from yesterday I can stop scrolling. Finding this morning’s news shouldn’t be a treasure hunt. I’m growing weary of trying use this app for local news... Update: Today I am unable to get to the news at all. I’ve opened the app multiple times but it opens a Lenovo/Temu ad that cannot be closed. The X at the top right of the ad is located directly in between the Lenovo & Temu logos & when I click X instead of closing, it’s taking me to another website. I guess it’s time to delete this KBTX news app.
