5/5Last up date
My last up date won’t work I have missed being able to read the news on my phone. Have enjoyed the news app up until now. You get a 5 plus stars from me.

3/5Alerts!
Please stop sending out “alerts/breaking news” every morning before 6:00am. It may get be our day off, or we may not get up that early every morning. I do like to get alerts when it is important...... but I do NOT like for my phone to awaken me at 5:45 am, to find out misquotes are taking over region 8. Please continue to send us alerts if important, but please don’t send out “stuff” every morning just because. Please respect our chance to sleep in late occasionally with out being woke up by silly information. Yes, we could silence our phones, but some of us choose not to just Incase there is a true emergency in our region 8!! Thank you

1/5Not very accurate
It has been our experience that lately the weather predictions has not been accurate. It’s hard to actually plan by what this app says is gonna happen with the weather. Weather channel says 90 percent rain and we get rain. KAIT SAYS 30 percent. Half the time they are fussing we are gonna get storms and rain we don’t get a drop. Feels like they only care what happens in Jonesboro or Paragould. We get storm notifications after they are already in progress. Tornado sound for storms in the middle of the night is terrible pick something else!!! A tornado sound should be for a tornado.

2/5Was ok, now not so much.
App has become almost unusable. It used to be ok. Notifications don’t show up in the app for hours after you receive them. If you click on the notification when you receive it, it will take you to the story, however if you dismiss the notification by accident and the try to find the article yourself too bad. You won’t find it for hours. Don’t put your phone in landscape while watching a video or the picture becomes distorted and the app freezes. Too many repeated articles in the same category.

1/5No News is Bad News
I sat down expecting to catch up on some news and get bombarded with an old cocaine bear story. I thought I pressed the wrong button so I went back, ensured I made the correct selection, watched the ad all over again, and nope, same bear story. Can’t play any live news but the weather which was obviously from Friday and its Sunday. This is my only link to the news as we have no TV. I couldn’t even watch the news and sip my coffee. My eyes aren’t adjusted enough in the morning to read through everything.
