The giant add that pops up before every story and has to be manually closed is obnoxiously intrusive. Another problems is about half of the time I select an article a blank page loads with the Live 5 News header at the top of the page that no amount of reloading the story will fix. The old app worked better and was far more stable. I've had only problems from this new web-based app.

Update: clicked on one of the news links and a virus popped up. Had to delete the app. Dont know what you guys did far as an update but definitely made things worse. Switching to a different news station app. After the update, the app crashes and a white screen appears sometimes. Plus it seems to show more ads than before the update.

The old app was better. It has since moved to more of a web based app and now it gives you spam notifications, of which, some you can not get out of without closing the app. When you do not get a "Congratulations, you're a winner!" notification, it is a blank screen, and when you go back, it takes you to the home page. I have been using Live 5 for about seven years.... They have about a week left before I delete it. Hopefully News 2 will be better.
