I like that the text notifications give you the location of where the news is happening. That way I can determine if it will interest me and don't have to open it to find out.

I wanted to get weather alerts after the weather man kept saying it was a good idea, but I can find no way in their app to set up alerts! They even said you can set it up by zip code but I searched for that option for 10minutes and found nothing! I don't want my phone pinging constantly for useless news stories. I just want to know if there's a weather alert in my area! This app is not user friendly.
