Pros and cons of NewsON - Local News & Weather app for iPhone and iPad
NewsON - Local News & Weather app good for
Im a news junkie. When Im traveling, I hate missing local news from home. This app has solved that problem. The best part is the in demand nature of viewing newscasts.
Love this app! They have a ton of stations all across the country. I’ve lived in California, Florida, Louisiana and Virginia. It’s great to see what’s going on in all the places I’ve lived.
This app is fantastic if you are a news Fanatic its a must have. Its nice to have live news from across the country at your fingertips
NewsOn has become my primary source for local TV news. It has improved dramaticallly since the original release in fall of 2015. The streaming is very good 99% of the time.
This is a must-have if you are a cordcutter and NewsOn carries your local TV news.
The ability to choose a region and then navigate through the local newscasts by the time they aired is terrific. Highly recommended.
I wanna to say thank you brought this up and I like it because its have subtitles for the deaf or hard of hearing. Thank you.
Some bad moments
Crashes immediately on my iPad Air. Works okay on iPhone 6. Nice idea. Needs work.
NewsON is OFF my Apple iPad. The app sounded promising when I first learned of it. However, after loading it and trying a strong local ABC broadcast channel, I was disappointed to see and hear the broadcast constantly starting/stopping cutting in and out like an old rusty radio. When its on, the video is sharp and clear, but the stream soon halts and is replaced by silence and a screen saying, "Well be right back!" I wont.
Only 1 out of 3 stations works right -- 1 crashes, other cant sync audio with video. Pretty poor
I like the concept of this app, but it had the worst, must cluttered UI on the planet, just make a simple screen, a simple polished map for searching, and a simple page for favorites, the screen is so filled with cutter and tiny boxes - its annoying.
Nice intuitive UI, good quality news feeds with quite the coverage. Would probably be nice to have configurable autoplay or remember Play/Pause state on close.
Its a situation where there are times the app looks decent but I cant seem to access the app very well to customize it to my needs. I just want my local stations not a default list to choose from. Not a very intuitive UI at all...
