Good reporting, illegible app

For people whose phones are set to have a larger font size for accessibility, the KXAN app font size is unreadable. Approximately one word fits per line, and the lines crash together. And because the app is not responsive, one cannot turn the phone sideways to be able to read the articles. even with the in-app font size set to small, the text is enormous.

Video player does not load

It’s just a blank space where the video should be! On an iPhone 13.

App is overloaded with ads

I love KXAN but this app is nearly unusable. There are so many ads sometimes it’s difficult to tell if it’s part of the article. I also often have issues launching the app from a notification. Please find another way to make money than having 90 ads per story.

So many ads and SLOW loading

There are so many ads in the app. It slows page loading and scrolling to a completely unacceptable level while the ads try to load.
