This app will take up a lot of storage. There's no reason for a news app to use over 1gb. Click bait ads should NOT be mixed in with real news articles. Especially when everyone is make a big deal about fake news.

I don't find this app to be groundbreaking in its design, which is great. It is a simple app that works well and keeps me up to date on what's going on without being obnoxious about it.

I prefer the older version before the update because now since I had the update things are harder to find and I also liked that map where it showed you the colors of the warnings and where they are but now its just completely ruined and I would have put 5 star rating but...ya

I have been a avid ch 13 follower for years and used this app for some time but now with this last update I will go to kcci to get my mobil news. This app takes forever to load even on wifi, uses more data and is does not look that good or is very user friendly. Whoever designed this I feel sorry for them.
