4/5Missing the Trending news.
Missing the Trending news. But trying to get use to the new look after the update.

1/5Unable to Open App
I have used this KTRE News App for several years. While it has had its issues, I recognize that this is a small town news outlet and they probably have zip in the way of funds to get a better set up. HOWEVER — for the past several days, I click on this app to check on local news stories that show up as teasers, but the app will NOT open. Same with it’s sister app for KLTV. I’ve tried deleting the apps and reloading them through the Apple Store, but that is a no go, as well.

3/5Size
Great app. I wish y’all could make the type size adjustable. So many of us try to read this on our phones and tablets and with older eyes sometimes it is hard to read the small size text. I know that option is available because I’ve used it before on USA Today. Thanks and keep up the great work
