Does Not Support Chromecast
By edwinspencer (Pcmac user)
I really like this app because I am able to watch on demand and live newscast in select US market. When it first started almost all channels that participated were able to commit to on demand news replay. Now select channels, mainly independent local news networks offer on demand news that were previously air live. Big network channels do not allow their news to be played on demand, that may have changed. The main problem now is that some of these newscast cannot be played back on your television using Google’s Chromecast. I don’t use Apple TV so I can’t tell if they also disable this feature on all TV streaming devices. I like that I don’t have to download every one’s news app as I only want to watch their news live or on demand. It’s a shame that Chromecast users are unable to cast it on their TV.

Best news app ever!
By Heather26-22 (Pcmac user)
I have been wanting to find an app that lets me watch the news for a long period of time...which I didn't think it would be so hard to find, but every app I tried cut the hour news into 2 minutes segments on each story. I didn't want to stop what I was doing every 2 minutes just to push play on the next video.
I'm so happy I finally found this app. I just have to press play once and I get my local new for entire hour without any interruptions! It doesn't matter what time it is or where I am. I'm am very pleased!

By mama 535 (Pcmac user)
Like WIS there giggling and laughing at 6 o’clock in the morning and I don’t appreciate it but if I can get it at 4:30 when there’s news on what I want to hear OK someone needs to stop these people from giggling and laughing and playing games on the a.m. news they say we want to go you’re so full of garbage I mean there’s three idiots on there well maybe to the little girl that does the 430 news is good the rest of the ridiculous ridiculou

As a news junkie, I love this app
By Iceberg77 (Pcmac user)
Love to get the local view on breaking news stories, also great to keep in touch with what’s going on back home when traveling. Video quality is poor on some stations, flawless on others, but always watchable.
Some stations are only available when live, others will fall back to latest previous broadcast, which is helpful. Also no Apple TV app? Roku app is klunky but functional, I’m sure Apple TV could handle it better. I hate tying up my phone to use AirPlay.
