So here's my take on NewsON - Local News & Weather. I've tried a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The live streaming and on-demand features work well, and it's great that you can access so many local stations in one place. The interface is pretty intuitive too, not too cluttered. On the downside, I've noticed some occasional crashes and the selection of stations, while extensive, could be even broader. But for a free news app, NewsON gets a lot right.

Description

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

Here’s what you can do – there’s a live stream feature so you can tune in to your local news channel anytime. It’s got a library of past newscasts too, up to 48 hours back. And you can easily jump between different local stations, which is super convenient if you move around a lot.

Look, if you’re the type who likes to stay on top of local news, you’ll probably get a lot of use out of NewsON. It’s not perfect – the app can be a little buggy sometimes and the selection of stations is not 100% complete. But overall it does the job and it’s free, so worth checking out.
