*** UPDATE it seems the below issue has FINALLY been resolved. It’s been working correctly for a couple of weeks now….hope it continues thx!*** UPDATE Portrait mode still gets stuck at the Border traffic section. Why can’t you fix this? *** *** When are you going to fix the portrait mode issue of news stories stalling at the border traffic section on the iPad? *** Update***it seemed the issue was resolved yesterday with the app update however today it’s back to being stuck scrolling in portrait mode when it gets down to the border traffic vehicle wait times section. Can you remove that section permanently so this stops happening? This never happens on the iPhone (no border traffic section) just the iPad. Please make all of the news stories viewable in portrait mode for iPad mini. The ticker on the right side works fine. It’s the news stories on the left hand side. Once you scroll down to about the border traffic vehicle wait times it always freezes so you have to switch to landscape mode to scroll down and see all of the stories. It’s very annoying. It works fine on my iPhone so shouldn’t it work on iPads as well?
Developer Response
Thanks for your patience and feedback, Elsbells21! We're glad the issue with portrait mode has been resolved. Your experience helps us improve. If anything else comes up, let us know!
BEST NEWS APP IN SAN DIEGO
sua-solo
Every time I was at work my boss would update us with developing news and current updates. Also with weather. So I decided to download the app and I actually check it often! I can always count on this app to update constantly no matter what time, especially at 5-6am the updates on crashes on the freeways or anything before starting my day. I got my family to download the app before they joked for awhile saying “tell us mrs. NBC news” because I would always ask “did you hear on the news that...” or I would say “don’t take this freeway until..” and they always ask, where do I get my news from? And well, it’s literally this app!
Where my son lives

My son is in San Diego and I love keeping up with SD news thru this app. I know what the daily weather is, what top local news stories are breaking, and a view of national news so I can keep abreast without having to look further. I really enjoy learning about local special events, especially what to do each weekend. If I see something he might like, I flag it for his attention. A great app that I appreciate having at my fingertips.
Spellchecker & Audio Issues
Wyoming Goldprospector
*Let me first say that I’ve given this app nothing but negative reviews. Every time I would update this app, only to find that the app is full of more bugs than it did before an update. When I would give my review, it seems that my reviews are being removed. QUIT REMOVING MY REVIEWS!!!Now to the latest issues after this last update:First issues- Music Player being forced to quit.I listen to my music a lot, especially when I am reading news articles regardless if it’s this app or another news agencies apps. When I updated this app last week, this app stops my music player. I have to get out of this app and go back to my music player to continue to listen to my music and go back to this app to try to read the articles. Only to see that when opening this app not only does it stop my music from playing, it also won’t let me listen to my music after opening each article. I’m having to start my music back up just to finish reading the article. I don’t watch the videos due to the videos eats up my data faster than just reading the text and I don’t care for the ads, if I want to see video I’ll turn on the TV and watch it then so there is no reason to kill my music just to use this app.Next issues is Spell Checker!!!Whoever is writing these articles doesn’t know how to proof read their articles. 70% of the articles that I’ve read so far in the past 3 months all have had spelling errors. How hard is it to scan over your work to make sure everything is spelled correctly?? I’m not the only user who uses this app who has also noticed that the articles are not being spell checked. Other members of my family who uses this app also see that nobody knows how to spell check their work.Fix the Audio & Learn to Spell Check, How simple is that??
We've improved the Video Shorts experience in the app. Now, when you open a Video Short from a push notification, you can keep watching—just swipe to see more videos.
