3/28/2019. The performance is terrible, unusable actually. I have a OnePlus 6T and after the first two articles are read, it takes a minimum of 10 seconds, often longer to get to the next article. I have a 28 Mb/sec WiFi link. I do not use the video reports, I want to read the copy. I feel swamped with adverts. Worse than clickbait. Maybe it is designed better on iOS. There could definitely be a better way to cache the ads so bandwith is not swamped with them and smothering the news feed.

Older version no longer worked, so was forced to update. On new version, none of the videos can go into full screen mode. Also, every time you rotate your phone (when playing a video), video restarts. The 1 minute weather update was great, but not being able to play it full screen is a disappointment. Time to search for a new app, will give KPRC 2 a try.

The app does a good job at keeping me current on the latest news. There are a couple of issues I've been having. Whenever I go to watch a video, the app force closes and the only way I can really watch the video is to go online to their website. In addition, when I click on a link in my notification bar, the app takes quite a while to load the article. Hope this gets fixed soon.
