Sound issues on Apple TVI am getting echos or multiple sound tracks. Sounds like the same track phase shifted. I use this almost every morning for headlines but now unusable for the last few days

Worth it ? NopeSo I bought into this App after using it for Free. What A Huge Mistake! Other than no Commercials it’s the SAME DELAYED NEWS! DO NOT WASTE UOUR MONEY .. USE THE FREE APP AND WAIT THRU THE COMMERCIALS!

New bug: delayed audio and a pop/clicking soundWhen playing the news from an Apple TV the news will start to play but the audio is delayed by about 3+ seconds accompanied by a click and pop noise every half second. It was working fine until a recent app update.

Recent five-star reviews

To the pointNo spin or preferences. Just the facts, arranged briefly and to the point.

Spanish commercialsI love the news but I definitely don’t want to see Spanish commercials between. Im not in Spain or South America I don’t want and need to hear Spanish commercials. This is very offensive to me

Good,great, new ever !Better than any new company. It has it all the news you want. Don’t watch any thing else. They got all the news period.
