Ads in the middle of the page. You can't get away from them! If was like a sweepstakes page you may end up on & can't get away from the constant ADs! I uninstalled immediately!
The pop up ads get in the way of this app being useful. VERY ANNOYING. Will likely go elsewhere for news...
The pop-ups are crap. There are already enough ads disguised as "stories" anyway. I am not impressed and will stop using the app if this isn't corrected post haste.
I would have expected a much better experience from a so-called middle market news station. As a comparison, the WRAL apps would score a 10 vs 1 for this station's apps. Another negative is that neither use GPS is used to determine location. Wanted to use the station's apps since they are becoming the CBS affiliate but looks like I'll have to stay with the competition.
The new app is ok......nothing really "new" other than the layout......and the pop up adds need to go ASAP!
You're a news app. Take pride in it. Ditch the ads.

Update: It is now saying "no connection", but I'm connected. *** I would just like more links to archived news, or a search function, because this app only seems to go back one day. Older/Updated info on the same story, and just more stories in general (local, national and international) would warrant giving this app 5 stars IMO.
