So here's my honest take on NewsON - Local News & Weather. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The live stream and on-demand features work well, and I like the ability to see what's happening in my local area. The interface isn't the most polished, but it gets the job done. My only real issue is that the app can feel a bit cluttered at times with all the different station feeds. But if you want a simple way to watch local news, this is a good option.

Description

Been using NewsON – Local News & Weather for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you stream live local news and on-demand news clips from over 285 stations across the US. Pretty solid app if you’re into keeping up with what’s happening in your community.

Here’s what you do: you can browse all the local stations in your area and watch their newscasts live or catch up on recent broadcasts. There’s also a section for breaking news clips, which is pretty cool. And you can get alerts when stations are broadcasting live – took me a while to figure that out but it’s a useful feature.

Look, if you want to stay on top of local news and weather, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out, especially since it’s free.
