Too many ads. Can't read the news. Ads overlay the words making them unreadable. Craptasticly greedy on their part.

Ads ads ads news This used to be a great app but now they're killing it with ads. If I can't enjoy your free news app I will just go enjoy another networks free news app.

Where has the Weather Blog gone? I used to faithfully go to this app to check the weather and always read the Weather Blogs, but now the link to the blog is no longer there and the only way to get to the blog is to go to the actual website!! Very disappointing-it's bad enough that I can't watch any programs including the news and weather because I'm one of the "lucky" Direct TV subscribers, but PLS return the link to ur blog to this app!
