NewsON - Local News Nationwide 12+

I really like this app because I am able to watch on demand and live newscast in select US market. When it first started almost all channels that participated were able to commit to on demand news replay. Now select channels, mainly independent local news networks offer on demand news that were previously air live. Big network channels do not allow their news to be played on demand, that may have changed. The main problem now is that some of these newscast cannot be played back on your television using Google’s Chromecast. I don’t use Apple TV so I can’t tell if they also disable this feature on all TV streaming devices. I like that I don’t have to download every one’s news app as I only want to watch their news live or on demand. It’s a shame that Chromecast users are unable to cast it on their TV.

I would love this app but for one major annoyance. I don't mind ads, but these ads will pop up right in the middle of an interesting/breaking news segment and are usually the same ones every 2 minutes. I would totally pay to have this app if you could get rid of the annoying pop-up ads and just have them when they normally would break for commercial. Other than that, it's great to see the news from my home state when I can no longer watch it living thousands of miles away.

I love how most of all of the streams are in high quality! Here’s the great part, though, since I’m in the ATL Metropolitan Area, I’m not only catching local Atlanta broadcasts, but I can also watch news stations from Toledo and Fort Myers for a couple of examples. However, some cities either don’t have much, or don’t have any channels at all. I’m satisfied that Atlanta has ABC, CBS, and NBC, but where’s WAGA FOX 5 Atlanta?? Also, I’m hoping updates in the near future could bring out more channels for more cities. Here are some recommendations that I (or we) would like to have.

- More Local Channels for:

Florida
————
• Fort Myers/Naples
• Miami/Ft. Lauderdale
• Panama City
• Tallahassee
• Tampa

Georgia

• Atlanta (WAGA FOX 5 ONLY!)

• Cleveland/Akron

I understand that more recommendations are coming from reviews from other users, so don’t feel like your bombarded with channels that need to be added. Take your time, and remind us all in future updates, thank you.
