Good Content, Ok Delivery, Poor App Quality
This app is great for getting local news. It aggregates the news from many different sources into one location. It is nice and simple, headlines sorted by time and thats it. It doesnt try to be fancy, just a list of information, nice.
My big complaint is the app functionality, from a technical side. It seems to be very poorly designed.
1) It doesnt take advantage of iOS multitasking capabilities. If I am reading an article and a text message comes in, and I reply, when I come back, the apps reset, reopening from the start, losing where I was reading.
2) It seems to crash quite frequently. Pretty much every morning I open the app, swipe to local news, scroll to an article I like, begin reading, touch to scroll down and the app crashes. Reopen, if generally continues to work ok.
3) It will sometimes download just a preview of the story and then you must switch to web view and then switch to reader view. Why cant it show me the full reader view from the beginning?
