Can't share to Facebook, and seriously 2 ads before a video starts?? Need a touch up people, listen to your users. If not people will delete the app and save memory on their device and get the 680 feed somewhere else.

Cast to device hijacks phone to input a pin even if you hit cancel. I will update rating when you fix this malicious advertising for your features. I would put 0 if I could this is unacceptable.

This app used to work great, but after the 2 recent updates, everytime I use Wi-Fi and open this app, it would disconnect Wi-Fi and tell me there's no internet connection available. Then when I close the app, the Wi-Fi works again

Finally it works! But I will never update this app anymore! After the update of version 4.0.4 this app never works at all until this 4.1.0 version. So frustrating for one week!

B70%
by B####:

Another buggy app from Rogers Media. Not sure what the 3 updates did.

Z70%

Doesn't work

E70%
by E####:

Ads are commercials instead of regular banners and are way too long, 14-30 seconds of commercials every time the app opens (sometimes even if you never closed it the first time and just minimized it). Now using a universal radio app to get my am680 news, which starts playing immediately with a push of a button. I love this station and will absolutely support it without hesitation but there's no point if advertisements are killing the experience

T70%
by T####:

This app become more as bug itself. I think I am going to delete it. Better to fix the errors and bugs than keep changing the design

Q70%
by Q####:

App freezes often

T70%

Too many ads and they are too big in size

This used to be a great app for getting local traffic etc whenever you needed it. Now they've ruined what wasn't broken. This app is now useless and horrible. When you click traffic and some other things, they don't work!!!! Pathetic!!!

Great.

New version looks great, thanks for adding in the change font size! The new app sometimes works for tablets in landscape (works on my Lenovo Tab2 not Nexus7 tablet), could you do the same when smartphones are in landscape too?

T70%
by T####:

I've had this app installed for a long time. Used to use it all the time, but then all these bugs started happening. Then finally there is a new release, and it's buggier than ever! I click on News or Video, Traffic..etc but the screen just flickers and returns to the main screen. So annoying!

A70%
by A####:

Update- latest update cant get to the menu in lower right. It just flashes. No QA! As for the previous update can't listen to the business report. It has always been flakey. Now it doesn't work at all.

Z70%
by Z####:

When I click on more option it open and close so fast you can't use it at all

T70%

This update is the worst!

X70%
by X####:

I am honestly so fed up with this app. Use to check the news multiple times throughout the day and now I can't even check once. Ever since the update there have been problems with the app scrolling on it's own, not opening because of an error, not loading any news stories, showing an error for the stories, and my favourite - saying I'm not connected to WiFi as I am doing this review ONLINE.

T70%
by T####:

Scrolling through the updated news feed is painful. Pops you back up to the top very frequently. Hard to navigate to articles with all the ads in the way. Not much of a news app - rather it's an advertising app. Who comes up with these designs (and gets paid for it)?!!

X70%
by X####:

The ads are so excessive now it just ruins the user experience. Rogers is just too greedy. And how many times do I need to turn off notifications?????? This thing went down hill fast.

T70%
by T####:

Nice layout but too many ads!! Constantly refreshes to the top of the list when scrolling though news articles. Very annoying! Update: Bug fixed with jumping list. Gave an additional star.

T70%
by T####:

Anybody else seeing data usage go up with this update? Probably the Ad invasion, but still. I closed the app and my data app picked up 10M used just to close?

T70%
by T####:

App was way better before this update. The simple item tomorrow's gas price is missing. And you have way too many adds.

T70%
by T####:

Developer feels their app is too important to move to SD card....DELETE. ..and switch competition's news app

M70%
by M####:

Scrolls on its own. Doesn't stay on an open article. Kind of annoying...

A70%
by A####:

Gas prices are back, great app !!

T70%
by T####:

No more jumping, i can finally read the news again, ads are there but that's normal for free apps

Q70%

Full page ad at application launch, extra banner ad when listening to traffic report, full screen video ad (no skip feature) when launching live radio.
