1/5From5 stars to 1 star
Used to if there was something really important in the news that my kids needed to know about like a warning or something I could share it with them since you've updated your app it won't let me share anything to share buttons there at the top right but there's not one at the bottom anymore in the share button won't let you share you can't even copy and paste it, and these are important stories that everybody should be able to see and know about it

2/5Good news station bad app
KY3 is my go to source for news in the region, but the app has now been updated to the point where the advertisements are overwhelming the news value. The advertisement links are so sensitive you can’t scroll on the screen without accidentally opening one. Even when you haven’t opened an advertisement others on the page start running at full volume I’m sure that increases the station revenue, but when it increases my frustration, I leave the app quicker than I would have.

1/5Greedy
The previous version of this app worked great but then they got greedy and put a huge ad on the app when you open it. This itself is not the problem, it is the fact that the app is too worried about opening this AD and not so worried about bringing you the news. Since this new update the app hardly ever opens. I will be getting my Springfield news from KOLR 10 from now on and will be deleting this one. Also they changed the format to resemble other less appealing news app formats. It needs to return to the previous, easier to navigate format.

1/5Forced into ad while monitoring tornado warning?
I was in the middle of reading a TORNADO WARNING for a neighboring county, and as I am reading what counties are going to be in the path of the storm, and trying to determine my family's risk of being caught in its path, an ad popped up, and took over my screen telling me that I had just won a $500 Walmart gift card, and it would not let me go back to the tornado warning. I had to quickly switch to a different weather source to finish reviewing the warning. Considering the nature of the storm, I am highly disappointed that this happened, and this is something that should be fixed quickly!

1/5Huge opening ad
This is much better than the previous version, but the ad that pops up over the whole screen immediately on opening is too much. Do you really need a 5 second ad in addition to all of the ads in there regular news feed? I will be deleting and reading local news from a different source. Latest version is a huge battery drain. Reading two stories makes by battery drop 20%. Edit: the return of the ad on the splash screen has done it. I have deleted and switched to a different local news provider who still had plenty of ads in their app but are not nearly as intrusive.
