I liked the old one where you can just see the headlines and choose want I want to look into. It also gave me Delco news. It was easier to navigate. I have no idea how to look up school closings or anything else in particular that I'm looking for without scrolling through EVERYTHING!!! This is the first time I visited the app since I wrote my post. I think it's time to uninstall it. The change was a downgrade in my opinion, very disappointed.

This app is extremely benecial to my life in regards to area news and weather alerts. However, the tracking mechanisms imbedded within are looking for too much information for me to give the app 5 stars. Usually around 265 tracking attempts per hour. Without a tracker blocker installed on my phone this apps "secret" software installed within would drain my battery to death and give third party companies way too much information.
