Ratings and reviews

Notifications open the app, but do not lead to mentioned article. Once the app is open I'm unable to find the article mentioned in the notification received. Aside from that, I quite like this app. It brings me news from a wide variety of local sources, as well as broader news about my state. Very efficient as most of the articles aren't posted anywhere else or are difficult to find. Would definitely give 5 stars if the notification issue was fixed.

Originally when I installed this "app" it seemed to stay in the 30mi. radius, then it quickly moved out to 50+miles to areas I have No interest in. I contacted Local News help desk, to my surprise they called back and informed me that at this time they didn't have a way for the user (me) to input manually my preferences. They did say that they have plans to allow users preferences. Original post I started was back on 03/2018. It's now 05/2019.

Instead of looking for news about Exeter and Devon in the feeds of my local newspapers and TV / radio stations, I've found the 'Local News' app. Every story has some relevance to me. They bring together stories from all my local outlets. If there's a problem on the roads, for example, I'll find the answers fastest in 'Local News'. Much faster than searching Google or Twitter. It doesn't pretend to be what it isn't. And what it does, it does brilliantly.
