Works well for those who want to catch up on the news without the bother of a TV and perhaps a cable subscription. It will even let you select individual stories, so you don’t have to wait for the one story you want. You can even follow local news from the other side of the country.
The downside is a big one. Selecting the particular city and station you watch is clumsy, forcing you to hunt through a long and unorganized scrolling list. A better option would be a single command that displays a map of the U.S. Tap on the state, and it would show a map of that state with the cities with stations indicated. Tap on that city to get to the station.
I’m not sure if they have it, since I’m still learning the UI, but it’s also be great if users could have a list of favorites, both of stations and shows. There’s a lot of good content available through this app. They just need to work on the UI.
