1. I was unable to read the article because of that! Can you fit all the words on the one main screen that you can just scroll down and read please? Thanks! 🙏🏼✌🏼❤️I really only like the app for weather and I feel like when the app switched I lost so much! I cant select follow me like I used to and have to change the location for the area I am in at the time.

2. So then you're stuck with trying to search for it... Yeah, good luck with that.Hey I love 5 news and I love the app up until today! There was a story about a missing 11-year-old in Fort Smith..you can't even read the article because it goes off of the right side of the screen you try to move the screen over to read it and it slides over to a freaking ad.

3. I also hate that I have to wait for the news page to load then click on another page before I can see the weather.
