So here's my honest take on the NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth News app. I've tested a bunch of local news apps and this one's pretty solid. The weather features work well and I like how customizable they are. And the news coverage is also pretty comprehensive, with good reporting on the issues that matter to North Texans. But it's not without its flaws - the ads can get old after a while, and the app can feel a bit cluttered at times. Overall though, it's a reliable way to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the DFW area.
