Updated version is crap! What is the point in having a news app is the ads are across the middle of the story?!?

Uninstalling Ads on the top and bottom of the screen are bad enough. But one in the center blocking the story is to much. I ll find my local news at another source.

Banner ads now obscure content?! Top and bottom was bad enough, but this has gone too far. Too bad... I used to like this app. Uninstalling.

Do not update Is it really necessary to have advertising on the top and bottom of the screen? I would much rather see a paid version that skips the nonsense.

Nice It would be nice to see the "things to do this weekend" come back and maybe appear as its own tab, and appear before Saturday afternoon

Extended forecast App is good but the extended forecast that keeps moving is annoying. I want one page with the 7 days not moving

Decent ap at best. Would be nice if the articles updated more frequently. The news updates at noon, six and eleven so why can't the ap?
