2. Can't scroll through stories without it wanting to turn the page real quick and making me lose my spot every single time I scroll!!! It never fails!!! Also I have to video controls so if I miss something in the video I have to rewatch the entire thing just to hear a couple of wordsThe new, updated design is not easy to browse through.

3. My work depends on weather.I've had this app for years, I get notifications on my phone but when I pull your page, all I get is last weeks news.

4. Please revert, the recent update is terrible!This UPDATED app sucks ! When you access the app, neither of the backup arrows work.

5. Idk exactly what I'm wanting from the app but I feel like trying to find a certain story is kinda difficult, like i read somethingi wanna show my husband later but when i go back to find it i never can seem too.

6. If you're in another app, and a "news" item pops up on the app, it interrupts the app you're in and neither of the backup arrows work.

7. You guys have not updated the weather since last night.

8. Uninstalling.There's thunderstorm warnings all around us in Midland, all other weather apps are notifying us.

9. The large font and smaller pictures do not lend the user to quickly browse through uninteresting articles.

10. You have to go back to "desktop" screen to close the app which ALSO closes the app you were in when you were interrupted, so you have to start ALL over again.

11. Can get same info from google without having to for on a scavenger hunt.
