Reviews for US News: Breaking News & Local

Alerts going off all the time and the biggest part of the news on this app is at least 48 hrs. old , plus the news on this App isn't local (Jackson County ,FLA )it's from all over the U.S. , and most of the news on here is repetitive.

App de-selects my choices for news sources and sets its own, REPEATEDLY. Thus rendering the app useless. Multiple source choices from every media category and push notifications are high on the list for what people want but can't find in a news app. Correct the major issues with source selection and this concept is a good one. This app has alot of potential. Uninstalling for now.

Sharing stories doesn't work, it automatically enables every notification including lock screen & bypasses even do not disturb!!! It's so difficult to read any article with all the ads in middle of paragraphs, pop up ads in article & continue reading bar to push for every one. Worse all it does is redirect you to shady sites to read actual articles, they aren't within this app. Spare yourself the hassle of this junk app.

user unfriendly. have to click twice to continue reading, and then continue reading the entire article; then have to click twice to back all the way to main table, and more often than not that's when a full page ad pops up. so basically surf 5x for 1 story. lots of stories, yes. user unfriendly, also yes.

I uninstalled this app on my phone because you can't open it and read the article that is on the notification it doesn't pop up that particular article it'll go to something completely random. It needs to be fixed. There have been several times when the app was on my phone that an article would pop up and I would want to read it but for some reason it never showed me that article so I uninstalled it just because it wasn't giving me what I need as far as reading the news.

Too many intrusive adds. The local news section needs better algorithms for location preferences because the news stories aren't in my location. The local news doesn't have a great selection of sources in my area. The local news section is just horrible in my location. Maybe its better for you in some large cities.

I give it 5 stars because it is terrific and focuses on the USA.It has the full news and not just a few lines, what I call 'news teasers'. I prefer news of various states, that's why I chose this.I like the news apps that must be read instead of the live broadcasts, because they can be read while in any public place and not disturb other people, plus I love to read.Live news I watch on tv anytime.

even after you turn OFF notifications on this app, Google still has it make notifications.

This app is all left wing propaganda. I wouldn't trust anything this app provides.

Latest update broke "unfollow", and app is more cumbersome. The menu option listing all the available news sources along with the option to follow or not is gone. This means the feed contains news sources in which you have no interest, and which you need to "unfollow" individually at the articles when they pop up. Thing is, that function doesn't work. I unfollowed a source, closed the app and restarted the phone. Opened the app and the same source/article still shows up. Really? C'mon. Re.: never had to log in before. Don't need/want another "account".

This would be so much better if it didn't look so cluttered. It's just too busy & not enough space for separate articles to be clear. Also, this ads that look just like articles. I found myself just scrolling through, trying to focus on the news. Too bad because I wanted to like this. I need an alternative to Flipboard and some of the other apps.

Greed should be the name of this app. I don't believe I have ever seen so many ads in one app. This app it's not only loaded with ads which make it junky looking to begin with but the Articles themselves just repeat over and over as you scroll down. Not to mention the fact that when you do click on an article to read it takes you to the new page which requires you to tap on continue reading which often takes you to a website on available page. What a waste of time!!!

For the most part it is good. However every once in a while some people are allowed to get away with using racial slangs.and then at other times I get reported even though I did not break any of the rules. Aside from these troublemakers I would say it's a pretty good website. You'll never be perfect but keep trying never stop trying to reach it. Also this app is safe.there are some other apps that can cause your phone to jam and malfunction another ways. This one is a safe one.

So many ads. Once you click on an article to read, it will load the article showing the article briefly then redirect you to advertisement. If you click to back out, it starts to load the article all over again to repeat the same process. You are in a forever endless loop. If I could read the articles without interruption, it actually might be a decent current news informative app.

Allows comments with likes/dislikes. Seems to have plenty of fresh content. Can unfollow news sources. Lots of settings, such as turning off auto play of videos. That's all great. But the ads already seem a bit overwhelming. (just installed today). I don't know how many more times I can take being spammed by deer hunting game and super telephoto lens scam ads before I uninstall... The unfollow does not work. Clicked unfollow CNN under at least 10 videos now. Still showing video content from CNN.

App needs repairs. The ads repeat relentlessly and always the same single ad, between every five articles. News articles require multiple clicks to open. All video's start with an ad that plays 3 seconds at a time, with 30 second breaks for loading the next 3 second segment... on the chance you make it through the entire video ad, the news video that you waited for has a zero percent chance of playing, rather an error message is displayed. Super disappointing app with no way to report the probl

Note to dev: I understand the need/desire to be compensated for one's labor and, so, the inclusion of ads, which is why I look for apps like yours that provide a purchase option. My main point is that I believe $10 to be too costly. Other very full-featured RSS News apps, like NewsCracker, are available for a mere fraction of that cost. ORIGINAL: Too many ads. Ads-free too expensive at $10!

It's a great forum on which to voice and share opinions. My problem is with the technology. First my account disappeared. I was told by the site that there was nothing they could do. Then, weeks later, my first account was back and the second account is inaccessible. I also am unable to access several Posted Articles. I followed troubleshooting instructions, still a no go. BUT! I like the forum. I like the people on it. I'm sticking with it.

The moderators are trying to be as fair and judicious with upholding Community standards, if you provide a truthful, respectful rebuttal. I like getting different sources of news, and the material does vary between right and left. Props to moderators for their management and a very nice App.

Too busy. requiring multiple clicks to read an article when one will do. Also, they hide ads and commercials, making you click on them, only to find they are an ad. Ads and commercials are OK, but should be identified as such. not hidden several layers deep. Too many times, I have exited the app. completely because something that seemed interesting turned out to be an ad for some product. This app. turned out to be a waste of my time and nowhere near as informative as I thought it would be.
