Used to work great, but ever since Garrett Lewis left the weather is wrong. Videos on articles auto play without sound and if you click on audio it either takes you to a different video or keeps replying the same truck add over and over again. I begrudgingly put up with that because at least the weather location worked decently. The latest update they did killed that. There's a manage location button but once you go to search it will not look up or let you manually add a different location.

App is a data hog filled with clickbait. Any news link you click on auto plays a full video/audio add that you have to physically stop. No way to turn off this function. This is an add app disguised as a news app. Edit: It gets worse. Now the sidebar opens once the page fully loads. To get rid of it you have to back out of the app and start over. Deleting this app. 5news has become a laughing stock. Can't rely on them for anything in the River Valley anymore. Edit #2: now there are popups

Its really frustrating because this app constantly shuts down on me. Just now it crashed 4 times so I uninstalled it,reinstalled it,opened it and it took a little longer,but it crashed again. I miss the other weather app. Im gonna have to find another and that sucks because I love Garret! 2024 Now I can't put my town in as saved location... I unistalled and re installed...no difference.
