Nov '23 update: Thank you for the added video functionality. A game changer. Better interface, but cannot go full screen on videos. Turning phone restarts the videos. Not a good user experience. Downgrading to a two based on frustration with video playback issues. The workaround, select segment the start video, shouldn't be necessary and is one of the only apps I have that is this unfriendly. I have taken to reading the text instead of struggling to keep the video in view on my phone.

On firestick. Just had an update. Everytime the news comes back on after a commercial the audio gets out of sync. Lesson learned, if it works, dont update. Version 10.37.0.100 This was 5 stars untill this. Update: 5 momths later no update to fix this problem. Too annoying, have to delete in one of my firesticks, didnt update in other 2 firesticks and are working fine.

Until the latest update loved this app especially for streaming the morning news. Now it's a hassle to try to even watch the live stream. There is no option to watch in full screen, turn the phone horizontal and the two large gray bars for the app make it impossible to see what is being shown. Update: as previously stated there is no button for full screen. I would be happy to include screen shots in an email.

To enable full screen, please click on the actual stream title (the white part with text) that says "24/7 Live Stream". Then, tap on the actual video and additional video controls should show up. The button with four arrows is full screen. If you'd like to view full screen in landscape, you will need to remove the orientation lock on your phone.
