I generally like the app, though some of the "Breaking News" notifications are questionable. I recently turned on the storm and lightning alerts, which are nice, but I don't see why you need purchase location information for weather purposes. Approximate (about 3 square km) should be good enough for weather. When I turned off precise location, the app turned off the notifications, which isn't acceptable.

works for the most part. I don't understand why the app crashes a lot though, especially on my tablet. I will play a video and it restarts the app. I load a story and when the whole story loads, sometimes it crashes. I noticed with Apple devices, I can't skip ads. with Andriod I can skip most of the Ads after a few seconds. Why is it different between the two major device leaders?

After system update on Samsung Galaxy, app doesn't open and keeps crashing. Not able to see any local news or weather now. Not accurate for my location and now says it cannot find my location, which is odd because every other app can. Last year (2019), this app was reliable for weather and so far this year, it's the most unreliable weather app.
