First time experiencing the app I'm pretty satisfied. I'd recommend it to any one local to get the best all around news an weather.

DO NOT GET THIS APP UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO READ THE NEWS. For the first few days I had this app, I could watch the (outdated by several days) news. Nearly a month later, it just loops through the "broadcast will return soon" stock clip endlessly. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that I'm no longer living in state, but considering the other reviews, I doubt it.
