Most Outstanding Up to date News!!!

By SunshineGambler (Pcmac user)

The Updates and continuous live feed to the public is the most helpful and convenient way to stay in the know of all surrounding news and crime occurring around us! Most importantly, it helps us avoid and prevent our children from going in the path a crime or hostile environment may be taking place. The only way we can protect ourselves and others, is by staying informed of the much unnecessary crime that has overcome our cities! Everyone should have this installed on their phones, laptops and etc. We can all try our best to stay safe and avoid what and where this much horrific violence of crime is taking place. May God keep us all in his arms and protect our families from this burst of CRIME! Thanks for the work you all do to keep us informed! A mom trying to protect her family!!!
This app rocks for local news

By Imoogi (Pcmac user)

News break is the best app I’ve tried for getting local news. I’ve tried many, but for most of the others, that means news from the nearest large cities. I live in a rural town and finding truly small town local news news online is difficult. Yes, you can go to your newspaper’s site, but that’s just what they cover. News break grabs all three of the very small towns in my community and spoon feeds it to me. That includes special events! There’s one large issue. If you share a story, people have to download the app to read it. Sight unseen, none of my friends has, so I no longer share because they resent being sent an article they have to download an app for. I wouldn’t download it either. Most news sites allow one to go to a link on the web rather than demanding a download. Seems like a much better way to get new subscribers.
Horrible with voiceover accessibility

By Themusicman08 (Pcmac user)

For a number of years I have had my local news apps on my phone. Since I live in Kansas City, I had all four news apps. Then I slowly started to take them all off because they all report of the same exact thing and I found that to be repetitive and ridiculous to hear the same new stories out of all of them. A friend of mine told me about this app and I decided to give it a try. I’m very disappointed in trying to access the content. It is not accessible with voiceover and you don’t know when your double tapping on something whether it is selected or not. I would hope that the makers of this app get in touch with those who use voiceover on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and ask how voiceover works or at least look at voiceover. Voiceover is a part of the iOS. I certainly hope that voiceover is considered within the next update. I also would like to mention that the tabs are not accessible with voiceover so when a visually impaired person goes and double taps on a tab, they don’t know what tab they’re hitting.
I Loved It At First, But.......

By CA Drema (Pcmac user)

This was a terrific app at first. I particularly loved the ability to see local news stories. But the app gives the headlines, and a sentence or two, and then has a READ MORE, and you click that to read the entire article. The articles themselves open from a separate news source, a newspaper etc. The problem is that after 2 weeks of using this app, most of the time when I click the READ MORE link to read an article, most of the news sources it takes me to tell me I’ve maxed out on my number of free articles, and want me to subscribe to read anymore. And we’re not talking about free subscriptions, you have to pay to subscribe. So, though it’s not the fault of the app itself, the app is no longer useful to me since the news source they’re linking to for a given article will no longer let me read their articles. So sadly, I’ll have to delete this app, since all it’s capable of in my case now is teasing me with headlines from articles I can’t read.
