New update makes the app pretty much useless. “You’ll lose channel 12 access and local news coverage of you switch to any other provider.” Good riddance. It’s also laughable when that is a rebuttal they use when you tell them you want to cancel their service.

You can’t click through because the forward and reverse buttons are on top of each other. You can’t swipe through without swiping to another story. Forget about trying to browse through pictures. You have to sit through a 15-30 second commercial to watch a 5 second highlight.
It’s worse when trying to view a 1 minute video. Every article is a copy from another publication and most, if not all, have terrible spelling and grammar.
