So here's my honest take on CBC News: Breaking & Local. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty good. The coverage is really comprehensive, from local stuff to national headlines to global events. And i like how you can customize it to follow the regions that matter to you. The live streams and push notifications are also super handy for staying on top of breaking news. But there are a few downsides - the upgrades can take forever if you're trying to unlock everything, and the ads get old fast. Overall though, it's a solid news app that I'd recommend.

Been using CBC News: Breaking & Local for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that covers everything from local to national to international stories. Pretty solid if you’re into staying up-to-date on current events.

Here’s what you do: you can browse through the latest headlines, watch live streams of news coverage, and get push notifications for breaking news. And there’s also cool features like being able to select which regions you want to follow. And the in-depth analysis from their journalists is really informative – takes a deep dive on the big stories.

Look, if you’re into news apps, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get kinda annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
