Works till the first set of commercials, plays a couple of commercials then freezes every time. Restarting the app plays the same news then freezes after a few commercials again.

WPBF doesn't let you choose which notifications you want so they send them ALL to you. Expect more than a dozen notifications a day. I am uninstalling this app because I cannot keep up with the ridiculous number of stories it sends, almost all of them irrelevant to me. Hopefully the station will choose to change this.
