Would rate higher if app had text size adjustment. Text is too small to read so app is useless to me.

N70%

I set my notifications for breaking news, but not sports. Sports isn't breaking news. I get sports alerts anyway.

H70%
by H####:

Downloaded this pos app to track a runner in the Detroit marathon. Maybe next time get a real tracking app for your race because this just led to a blank page. Weak. Quit worrying about promoting your stupid news app that everyone will delete after the race anyway, and get a race app.

You made me download this app to use the DFP marathon tracking feature. Good idea to get more installs, but it's gotta work when I use it. Keep getting 504 errors. Disappointed

Specifically download this for tracking the Detroit Marathon (as directed on the website for the race) and I see no way to actually do that. No search capability at all...

N70%
by N####:

Sports notifications driving me crazy, and I already turned off sports in settings. Spoiling games I have taped, and bothering me with sports I don't care about. I blocked all notifications from this app and I may just uninstall it.

Being trying to track my husband for the past 3 hours in the 2017 freep marathon and the app isn't working. Can't track online because you've only made it available through an this app that doesn't work!

Marathon Tracker is a joke. Gateway errors and never found 1 runner when it did not crash. " no participant found". Waste of time.

Great news app

I70%
by I####:

I keep it to read about sports, but can't usually stand the rest of the liberal rhetoric. I wish I could give each individual article a thumbs up or down. Some of these reporters, and the editors who approve their stories have got to go!

by X####:

It doesn't show pictures when there is a group of them. Otherwise it's useful.
