### 1/5 — No longer works

*2016-12-24*

After updating, news no longer loads; just a never ending "progress" bar.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-11-29*

Excellent easy to use and find articles of interest.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2015-03-19*

Great app!!

### 1/5 — Super slow and short history

*2014-09-30*

Super slow load times. Constantly loads same ad before viewing any pages. Can only view last 10 articles so if you miss a few hours you've missed the news! Could be a lot better.

### 4/5 — Worth the download

*2014-09-12*

Not bad, decent source for local news.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-04-22*

Very good and informative app.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2013-10-04*

Very disappointed! News not current! Events 6 months old. Nothing like online!!

### 1/5 — Bad ads

*2013-05-27*

A fair app until a few months ago they decided to sell a cell phone ad that you are forced to X out of before you can get to the news. I understand marketing and selling ads, but this is nuts. Almost as bad as having to watch an ad before you can turn on the tv. I emailed them and asked for this to stop, and they ignored my email without a response. I can get the news from other sources without so much commercialization. I don't recommend it at all unless they stop the bad marketing tactics.

*2013-03-31*

It fits an on the go need but I would like to be capable of searching in more detail if when needed.
