61 add

Believe it or not this is the first time i try an app for news.so far i have no complains,they keep you updated about local news very often which in my opinion is really important because i use the the freeway a lot and i trust them with the trafic info they post on the app

News

It is a great app for keeping up on the news for Columbus and vicinity.

Great for local news

My go-to app for local news.

Very bad app

Why does it say embargoed content for web cant watch the news on iPad very disappointing 6 and 10 dont do this.

Too many alerts

Download this app if you like to be alerted by every fire and gun shot in Columbus.

Very nice

Its a nice app to read local news of columbus ohio..

Its decent but not so user friendly

I can never find their home page for contests or specific information. I do like the notification setup. They always seem to have the best weather and know about news other stations dont cover Very nice, Good job team 4!

I enjoy getting updates on my phone

I appreciate this ap

Decent local news app

I really cant find much to complain about. It seems to be updated as needed. Ads and pop ups are to be expected in a free ap.

Does what I want

Gives me a capsule look at major news and weather, plus radar. Easy to find and navigate these two items.

Love it!

Great informative App! Keeps me on top of things.

Nice app

This app is very nice. Adjust to local news and weather when I go to the lake. Also keeps me up to date with local news.

Fast but heavy

Pros: Good app. Fast to the point and well updated. Cons: Heavy on sports news. Football only and centered around Ohio STATE. I dont classify OSU football updates as a news alert, but this app apparently does. But maybe thats just a central Ohio thing.

Pretty nice. Especially after the upgrades

Good app !!!

Just what I need

Use it daily, its just what I need. Top stories and weather forecast for the day.

Good app

Great breaking news notifications

Do not like new format

I only get one article in the window on an iPhone 4S. There used to be at least 4 or 5 in a list, now the picture takes up 2/3 of the screen and the article header the rest. With the ads on the bottom, the banner and the menu on top, it uses barely half the screen for the story list. We have ads on the bottom, now we get full screen ads too. They started interspersing ads in with the articles a while back along with the bottom. I hated that, now it is useless. I rarely use it anymore. Also when you scroll down and go to click on a news article, all of a sudden then ad pops up in its place. Very poorly done all around. Go back to the same style you used to have about a year or so ago.

Good

Good but need to delete old breaking news stories.

Would like to see video of weather forecast

As far as I can tell, theres no weather forecast video and the weather section of the app uses Weather Undergrounds forecast. I already have the WU app, so the weather section is redundant. News section is ok, but not sure I will keep the app without access to video of my local weathermen-I mean, does Weather Underground even know about "the ridge"???

New Wx app

Will delete this app. No map layers. No satellite view. No way to set postal location - it doesnt work. I want to look at Wx only, dont care about Columbus news. Old app worked very well. This was giant step backwards.
