It’s about time. Also I noticed none of the one star reviews I left were registered.
Observations
broncospin
As this is a local station, I turn to you for local news. I travel 100% for work so it's especially important to me and I appreciate it very much. I prefer local news in the main feed. Weird or sad stuff from other parts of the country belong in national news, in my opinion. Also, the sports section has not been updated in a long time: Ezekiel Elliot being suspended is not relevant to Boise, nor is it current. Thanks!
Developer Response
Hi -Thanks for your kind words and your thoughtful observations. I will share them with the news team and I do agree that some of the content is quite dated. Jeff
Stick to local news
T100rider
I agree with other reviewers. Please stick to state and local news - or at least remain regional. I get my national and world news on other apps and don’t need to see duplicate articles. Everything else is great though. Keep up the good work.
Update newsfeed more frequently

The app runs smooth, all features function properly. The issue is that the newsfeed is not updated as frequently as the competition, and stories are not updated in a timely manner or even at all in some cases.
In this latest version, we've fixed a few bugs that you have brought to our attention. For instance, the splash screen loads faster and gallery images are no longer obscured by text.
