What-ever someone did to try and make things looks better, it was not helpful. I want to always see the local stories, not obituaries first. Fix the issue ### 4/5 — East Idaho News is a good news app! *2024-01-27, version 5.03.190061450* Thank you for covering in a way that I can read any of your articles. I have quit reading most other news sources because of the graphic nature of their news. The information is generally good but sometimes is written poorly without clarity and on political articles they don’t generally reach out to both sides of an issue or to an an unbiased side for facts versus the politician’s opinion. I like that they cover local news and would like to see them go into more depth on big issues concerning the entire population like the legislative issues and bills they are working on. I love the good news Fridays and Secret Santa and business articles which help balance the bad news. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — East Idaho News *2023-07-02, version 5.03.070060832* Best in town!!!! ### 5/5 — Great Coverage *2023-05-25, version 4.35.730059438* I followed every minute of Nate’s coverage on the Lori Vallo/Daybell trial. I absolutely loved the Courtroom Insider every evening. Nate showed me that true journalism is not dead. I feel like Nate having his wife on the Courtroom Insider made it real. He deserves an award for sitting in that courtroom day after day seeing and hearing all that evilness. I am now a fan of East Idaho News even though I live on Northern Alabama. ### 5/5 — Love Nate Eaton! *2023-05-25, version 4.35.730059438* I started watching East Idaho News while watching Nate Eatons coverage of the Lori Vallow Daybell trial. Now I am really enjoying East Idaho news in general for their coverage of Idaho news. Nate, eaten rocks! ### 5/5 — Nate *2023-05-24, version 4.35.730059438* Amazing amazing reporter and person ### 5/5 — Nate Eaton *2023-05-22, version 4.35.730059438* Nate Eaton is an amazing reporter! He asks great questions in his interviews and had awesome recaps for the daybell trial each night. From there I went I. And started to watch some of his feel Good Friday's and Santa videos. He has a great heart and is an amazing asset to East Idaho News! Thanks so much for your excellent reporting! I live in MN, but now follow East Idaho News for all national news alerts! ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2023-05-11, version 4.35.730059438* Thank you soooooo much Nate and East Idaho News. You have done an outstanding job bringing this trial to us. I feel like Nate is my best friend and i couldn't wait to follow his texts and follow ups everyday. Ive listened to every word from this trial. Many times it was way into the night and early morning. I got your app and i can honestly say i know more news about Idaho than my own state now. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-05-03, version 4.35.730059438* Thanks Nate and East Idaho News from Palm Springs!! ### 5/5 — Great coverage and easy to navigate *2023-05-01, version 4.35.730059438* Wish all news outlets were this great! ### 5/5 — Nate *2023-04-30, version 4.35.730059438* Nate, you and your team are absolutely incredible! You are an amazing news journalist. You deserve all the awards that you can get. Thank you for always following through on your article’s. Involving your family members set you high above the rest. You are truly loved and appreciated.

Don’t discount help to be given. PTSD is real & follows all of you. ( This is real speak from a wife of law enforcement- retired after 32 years) Don’t forget Nate, family, jurors, and those in attendance. Love you all for your sacrifices for Justice. ### 5/5 — Nate Eaton *2023-04-21, version 4.35.730059438* I downloaded this app specifically for updates on Lori vallow trial. Plus all the other stories Nate works on. I like the layout of this app ### 5/5 — Nate *2023-04-20, version 4.35.730059438* Love Nate Eaton and his Vallow coverage. Keep up the good work. Also thank you to all the behind the scenes people!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My opinion *2024-03-19, version 5.03.190061450* I find this site to be untrustworthy news in the potential field. News shouldn’t be bias. ### 1/5 — Incessant notifications *2023-05-25, version 4.35.730059438* I have marked that I want ZERO notifications except for the Daybell case. Today alone I received more than ten. You do not honor our preferences. If this keeps up I will delete the app and cease all following of Nate Eaton. ### 1/5 — Articles not found *2023-05-06, version 4.35.730059438* Get the notifications and when I try to read them article is not found. As an actual working human that doesn’t stare at my phone all day it would be nice if an article lasted more that a couple hours. I would like to see the news articles also ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-05-05, version 4.35.730059438* Wont let me past the "Allow push notifications" page, can't even use app ### 1/5 — Crap *2021-01-07, version 4.35.570056900* Crap app. Only reports news they want not the whole story. Worst than cnn ### 1/5 — Biased News Source *2020-12-24, version 4.35.570056900* East Idaho News is extremely biased. They are starting to become like “main stream media”, in that they feel entitled to tell their readers what to think and what the facts are instead of reporting all sides of political issues in a fair neutral way. East Idaho News only cites sources that support the main stream narrative and either ignores all other viewpoints completely or reports on it by blatantly stating that it is false, inaccurate and so forth. The article writers at East Idaho News are not experts in topics they write on. Particularly when reporting on Covid-19, and mask mandates, there is plenty of scientific studies refuting current main stream media narratives, yet East Idaho News reports on Covid and Masks as if they are the authority on all truth and any other perspectives are false. They support this narrative by only interviewing doctors and individuals that support their narrative. The fact is, we are still learning about this virus, the effectiveness of masks and the truth of all of it remains to be seen. Stop telling your readers what to think. Give readers multiple viewpoints in a neutral unbiased way and let the reader decide. ### 1/5 — Copy and Paste *2020-09-28, version 4.35.470055974* Instead of bringing good news on our Presidents accomplishments they chose to copy and paste a false story from NYT, when a news outlet jumps on false news to smear someone instead of choosing the good they have lost sight , pandering to the left liberal lies is a disgrace. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-07-26, version 4.34.260050146* The advertising used leaves much to be desired. Not great on new content. They started out with a bang but after 5 years I’m deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing/ constantly getting kicked out *2020-03-15, version 4.34.260050146* I am so frustrated once again trying to watch a news conference, and this app kicks me out every single time I am using it. I use it to read an article that popped up in my notification, and it kicks me out about 30 seconds in. I get in it again, and same thing! Please fix it!! ### 1/5 — Clickbait notifications and reloading made me delete it *2017-07-25* I installed this app to stay up-to-date on local news. As time went on the news articles pushed to my phone became increasingly clickbait-y. Having articles state "local police hunt for whatever" instead of "Pocatello police hunt for whatever" serve only to get people into the app and not to inform. This is especially worrisome when the notification potentially impacts me greatly. To be able to tell at a glance that a wildfire rages in my county vs if a wildfire rages in a local county is of huge importance. One informs me right away that my family is in danger. And whenever I was in the app, any tiny thing would cause it to reload. Pop ups, checking notifications, etc all would trigger the app to frustratingly reload. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love EIN! *2025-04-24, version 5.12.062695* I love Nate Eaton’s style of reporting, as if he lives next door and he and his family stop by for coffee or ice cream! I’ve followed since the day he took on Lori and Chad in Hawaii! I watched as he rode the helicopter over Chad’s property, wondering what they’d find. I’m in Florida- but look forward to Good News Friday, the latest in trials, and Emmie’s 7 questions! Best News station around! Keep up the good work!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-03-27, version 5.12.062695* Love Nate and his team.

Yes and Santa! ### 5/5 — Love East Idaho News *2024-04-15, version 5.03.190061450* Got the EIN app during the Lori Daybell trial. I have kept the app, and sometimes I think I know more about what’s going on in East Idaho, than what is happening here in South Central Kentucky. I can’t say enough about Nate Eaton, and his dedication to see this story to the end. He also makes a great elf for Secret Santa. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Nate *2024-04-02, version 5.03.190061450* Like that I’m informed of what’s happening on the east side of our state and you have Nate!
