Nonstop Local News

When I want to see the news, I want to see the news. I don’t wanna see a word from your sponsors, I don’t wanna see endless commercials. In 1/2 hour you broadcast approximately 13 minutes, the app in short pretty much does the same thing. You get a notification you tap on it to see what it is and almost immediately you are bombarded with more advertisements while you’re trying to scroll through that which you just got an alert, I don’t need more advertisements, and therefore your app has been uninstalled. I won’t be installing this again.

Other local news apps are much better. Very bad pop up ads cause you to click on things accidentally and see adds before you get anywhere near reading the story. Also how they prioritize what news items get a notification is very strange. I’d hear things about celebrities but not a peep about legitimate local news stories. Not helpful. I’m also seeing more and more language that shows they have right-leaning political views which is inappropriate. I value facts and neutrality in news organizations, so I’ve deleted this app.

my school district has the app blocked and I think that’s government suppression of the press and what ever happened to freedom of the press and the press serving as a the guide, guard, and glue of our country? R u kidding me ? I just wanna know what’s going on and what’s actually relevant to me rn but no, I have to learn trigonometry and how to analyze a fictional book to uncover its hidden meaning. they clearly have their priorities straight.
