Just updated it today and have had issues already with the app. Can't even view my interactive radar and keeps kicking me out of articles while I'm in the middle of reading them. Wish the news articles would also be updated on a daily basis as reading the same thing over and over doesn't work for getting the best and most up to date news. Love KCCI but have been thinking about switching to a news source that is actually up to date on the news and not 2 weeks late as it is on here.

I am continually having to enter the settings I want for the weather radar map every time I open it up. It used to remember my settings and when I pushed the "view interactive radar" button it would open up like I left it with my settings the way I left it. Not anymore though. Also, when I press on an article to read it and then press the back button it takes you clear back to the beginning of the news feed. I must then scroll through all the articles to get to where I left off. Very annoying!!

Interactive radar is great except it's delay time is 8 minutes. Old news stays on app for weeks, as though old articles never get removed and replaced with new ones. Take off old news and save the space. It's a waste of space. News is not updated during the weekends very much. Biggest complaint: news from weeks if not months ago still on app.
