This app is an absolute joke, you cannot set your location and the app thinks I am 1000 miles away from where I am all the time. This makes this app totally worthless as a local news source. Since it thinks I am in an entirely different city and that city is almost 1000 mile from me. Very disappointed and fully uninstalled
Reviews for Local News: Headlines & Alerts
← Back to Local News: Headlines & AlertsI finally uninstalled the app after getting a full screen ad for Tictoc with no way to close it except by downloading the app (which I'm not about to do) or closing the news app. This happened 3 times in a row making it impossible to get any news on it.
I tried app for couple weeks but I'm now deleting. 1st way to many notifications & duplicate notifications. 2nd user can't choose source of news, so basically bunch of leftist propaganda & BS gets shoved down my throat. Ugh! Too many other apps like this that gives users choices, this doesn't.
They started ramming ads in every little nook and cranky along with FORCING you to watch an ad to read an article. Not even going into detail on the blantent slurs and racist (comments were reported and are still up 5 months later. Yes I checked out of curiosity.) And it's the same few people saying the nastiest things imaginably. No, thank you. I'll find something else.
I can never find the stories I want to read ... if I do, the finale is hidden someplace out in space. I do not open this app to read ads, which probably surprises you. It's a frustrating waste. Three masters degrees are not enough!
I'm not a fan of this app.. it seems to me that it is a fake news app. I do not recommend you use this app as I feel it has ill intent..
I enjoy reading your local news.Some articles are very interesting in bature.
Articles that ŵont allow you to read till the end. You click thru to next page, after page, after page, and then the session or the video blows up! it's frustrating, to say the least! I've stopped watching them!
This app is very intrusive, constantly interrupting whatever i am doing on my phone. I have looked everywhere for the option to cancel any subscription I may have inadvertently signed up for. Since I cannot locate the option to cancel i guess I'll just put a stop payment on any charges incurred.
Get Updated with Local News Headlines, live Reports, and much more.
Life is just too short! About to delete this waste of time and energy, you have to dodge all the fluff an stuff while retaining what you read as you try to pick up rest of the article article spread out on three to five pages they break it up with distractors you can't even finish an article, what normally takes a couple of minutes now takes five to seven minutes if you're lucky and you don't go insane!!
Cannot get beyond the ad that greets me upon attempting to open the page. No way to X out of it! GOODBYE!!! Then I read in the reviews that the writers appear to be very low quality, almost juvenile in their misspelling and poor grammar. Another reason to dump your app and I've never been able to open it because of a stupid ad! Again, GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE
Has a business ad that shows up all the time and makes you wait 5 seconds before you can close the ad. Now it is showing blurred ad of skimpy clothed people from this same ad company. And of course, have to wait to close ad and can't find a way to block such an ad. I'm taking news app off my phone until it improves ads. I did enjoy the news but hate the ads.
Hilariously terrible. The articles on this app have such terrible grammar, punctuation, spelling, and just so many typos. It makes it almost infuriating to read. I still have yet to find a single article that doesn't have these issues. I don't usually write reviews but this one is deserved. Not to mention it's just FULL of ads. Most things on this app are hardly interesting anyways. Just don't waste your time.
I Love it! it's on the spot, sends alerts and I don't have to wait to find out what's going on. No more waiting for the News to come on at 5pm!!!@
I love the news ! It allows me on old model cheap andriod to post to facebook . It seems like their system knows what type of articles you like based on your choices and selection . I love this news, especially since newspapers are in shortgage and expensive . I can't wait to have a computer to really enjoy the news !
way too many push notifications. It's ridiculous. I am uninstalling the app. I installed this app again and, it's worse than the first time. Not to mention, you can't delete the Data and that's a big problem for me !!! Wish there was a zero-star rating, that's what I would give in a heartbeat !!! If you want News This Isn't the app you would want. IF, You see this one Scroll on, don't stop, and Scroll as fast as possible!!!
there are other news apps. I wanted this one because it said "local news". However, I did not like having to be forced to watch ads, most apps let you back out, but this app has an extended ad period, right now I was being forced to wait through an adult AI app that they are advertising. I got tired of seeing that, the final straw was when I was waiting in the waiting room and the adult app popped up.. DELETED local news
after the latest update, it doesn't play any of the noted videos. 😡
not impressed. looks like just another collect it all then makes you opt out. select a few sources for news, no sports, but the 5th story was from ESPN. why bother.
