3. How do I do that?I love being able to see the news so easydownloaded it a third time and it still won't work on my phone.

4. I understand this is all a school of journalism and you are still learning, but goodness, you've got paper & pencil, write it down word for word and read it as so.

5. Recently it has become less usable because it has ads with sound that play automatically.Repetitive news every 1/2 hour or hour.

6. This app has historically had better local news coverage than those from other stations.
