I primarily use this app to stay updated on the weather. The daily forecasts are pretty accurate, and the videos of the weather broadcasts are definitely helpful. I have experienced a couple glitches with the app. The hour by hour temperature forecast is often incorrect, and it seems to be displaying the "real feel" temperature instead of the actual temperature. The other problem I frequently experience is the live Doppler radar images of precipitation not appearing on the maps at all.

Having video, along with the written article, enables me to get the background of a story; the side notes. They give both sides of an issue; not just the popular point of view. On the technical side, this app had a few snags that have been smoothed out. I haven't completely explored the app, so this rating has a chance to increase!

9/8/23--new interface easier to read, addressed memory leak. But they removed ability to go directly from one article to the next, making reading news tedious. Filter setting on My News doesn't hold, must turn off unwanted choices (videos and galleries in my case) every time it's used. There's too much non-local (but local to elsewhere, like small towns in southern states) news for an app that specifies Chicago. Articles still full of typos, headlines often don't reflect content accurately.
