Just OK. Most top news is here. Problem is "smaller" stories can be hard to find. Hard enough that I'm not sure they exist in the app at all. Their search engine is awful. I searched for a current news story I read about on NextDoor. When I tried searching the first news story was dated 2013. They weren't in chronological order so, unless you want to flip through 10 years of stories, searching for a current story is useless. No, worse than useless. Frustrating.

Installed this app for the weather reports. It has a loud "alert" sound that it uses to let you know that rain, storms or other events are on the way. This is a Good Thing™ But lately it has started chiming with trivial messages that are not urgent or surprising. On one occasion it woke me up for some trivial reason. This is not a Good Thing™ Please do not mis-use this feature. If you keep doing this, I will have to find another way to check on the weather.

New review. Same problems. Constant ads. "Breaking news" is almost entirely fluff news with no bearing on what's actually going on in America. I should not be getting notifications that someone got robbed in Massachusetts. Take a peak at the media companies controlling this station, and you'll see they're entirely corporate interest and propaganda pieces. Next to no breaking news in my notifications, just garbage
