I liked the old one where you can just see the headlines and choose want I want to look into. It also gave me Delco news. It was easier to navigate. I have no idea how to look up school closings or anything else in particular that I'm looking for without scrolling through EVERYTHING!!! This is the first time I visited the app since I wrote my post. I think it's time to uninstall it. The change was a downgrade in my opinion, very disappointed.

No problems with the 'Watch LIVE' option. When you attempt to click on the rebroadcast videos, you get three(3) stories (videos) in and, the third story (video) just repeats as if on a loop. The former format would play the rebroadcast videos in chronological order by date & time. PLEASE go back to the former rebroadcast video format or, at the very least; STOP (fix) the looping of specific videos. Thank you in advance. Avid Actin News viewer from birth.

Nov '23 update: Thank you for the added video functionality. A game changer. Better interface, but cannot go full screen on videos. Turning phone restarts the videos. Not a good user experience. Downgrading to a two based on frustration with video playback issues. The workaround, select segment the start video, shouldn't be necessary and is one of the only apps I have that is this unfriendly. I have taken to reading the text instead of struggling to keep the video in view on my phone.
