### 1/5 — Terrible App !!

*2023-10-01*

It closes when your watching the news, you need to fix it or update it !!

### 1/5 — No longer available.

*2014-01-04, version 2.2.8*

Will not open. Upon tapping icon, reverts back to Citynews icon app logo. To view Citynews, Google it.  Some Toronto Ontario citizens would label Citynews as the Amateur news cast in comparison to CTV News, CFTO News. City News was seen as a spring board for people entering the news industry to gain experience and then heading off to CBC, CNN.

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2013-11-09, version 2.2.6*

Even after update App crashes.

### 1/5 — App won't open

*2013-08-21, version 2.2.2*

I can't get the app to open even after bug fixes.

### 3/5 — Needs to improve

*2011-05-16, version 1.0.0.0*

You can't save news, or change apps without lose the point where you was reading. Could have more videos too

### 5/5 — Very Nicely Done

*2011-04-04, version 1.0.0.0*

Though we live in Chicago, we have family in the Toronto/Mississauga area and CityNews is an excellent source of the local news there. The app runs fast and feels lightweight. The reporting is "very local" as they describe. No crashes or problems in running it. Toronto is a wonderful city. If you have any interest in knowing what's going on in Toronto, this is a very nice app that let's you know what's happening there. Runs well on the original iPad and the iPhone 3GS.
