Too much buffering , tried watching and keeps buffering about every 30 seconds. Had to delete app. More work to do fellows After communicating with support, the buffering issue I was having is gone, appears it was only that one day for me. I've been watching now for over a week and the app works great! Loads fast, looks great, well done, love watching my local news!!!

Mirroring much of what has already been said, the developers took a great app and removed nearly everything that made it excellent: live DVR, Chromecast functionality, short-term archive of multiple newscasts, the list goes on. I wish I could understand what made anyone think these changes were a good idea, but needless to say, they're simply a bust.

I don't enjoy watching ads that allow the use of profanity, the "Nicorette Commercial" Nonetheless, I enjoy a news app that offers a wide range of news across the states. I love having the opportunity of viewing news from every major city in the US, at any given time of the day!!!!! The news is fairly current, informative and very interesting, I can control when I choose to view. I would however, love to see each state broadcast live, Thank you, NewsON!!!!!!
