Ratings and reviews

No longer works on Android TV. Used to be fine, but the launch of the new site also broke the Android TV app. Edit: 2023 and it still doesn't work at all on Android TV and the mobile app will not even load news stories when it bounces over to their sister site at Techwire. The entire app is dated and cluttered and needs a major overhaul. 2024: new update. new problems. now it doesn't load top stories. Get a new dev team or new decision makers.

Replace Tech Wire! Scrolling the articles is always treated as a right/ left swipe and goes to a different article and has been this way for months. Please post these as a normal article! Downgraded rating due to this. Overall, not bad for a free local news app. The Hidden History articles are interesting and a good break from the standard news. I do wish the article images were able to zoomed in on, and that there was a dark mode.

hard to find information seen on the news. does not have the latest news cast. they repeat the one from the previous day. app is slow. when it comes to weather it doesn't have the replay from the latest televised one but one they recorded in the morning with the meteorologist at the corner and the use all day. as fast as weather changes here in North Carolina I want to have the most up-to-date version. for an app that has "news" on its name it's not "new."
