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.

I do like the push headlines for important news stories, and updated info as they come out, I would like to get pertinent information as it becomes available, but more often than not, the "live broadcast updates " from Turner or Abbot, etc, just shows the thumbnail with the play icon, when pressed, all I get is the continuous spinning line of 'loading..trying..looking..' but not being able to play the video/news clip. Sometimes an earlier clip on the same page will play well, but not the 1st 1

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.
