It's good for the news pushes, however the weather part is now lacking after the last update. Unless you go into the app, and even then sometimes the weather part doesn't update even then. And it's mostly on the notification screen that this is appearing too, not in the actual app. It'll update the information inside the app, however outside of it, that's a different story.

The app provides what it says it will provide- local bay area news, weather reports, and traffic updates. But they also force you to watch a plethora of ads. It's disgusting and totally inappropriate to have local breaking news about homicides and other dangerous and risky emergency situation, but when you tap on the link, you first have to watch an advertisement. Whoever had the idea to do this is the scum of the earth.

Up to the minute news and weather. Since I watch NBC in the a.m., this is a great way to get the late breaking! The only news channel with Storm Ranger so weather is right on the money. After months of enjoying the news, all of the sudden it scrunches up and becomes unreadabke. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have the same results. Maybe it's time to seek other bay area news as it happens. Too bad.
