Pros and cons of Breaking News + app for iPhone and iPad

Breaking News + app good for

In Canada we have a great deal of censorship on the media especially the interned. Therefore, its always great to get uncensord news.

This is an excellent app and easy to use and read! Well Done! Thank you so much!

Love this app:) Great way to keep up to date. Nice to get alerts & be aware of whats going on.

it picks up twitter feeds, Instagram, vine photobucket etc. etc. It is skewed toward NBC properties, but it is an NBC App, so thats to be expected.

Breaking News keeps you up do date 24/7 regarding world wide vital news that really makes a difference in your day.

Im really liking this app so far! Very direct, straight to the point with no fancy bells & whistles. Highly recommended for those who want up to minute (actually up the second) news without all the "fluff"

Some bad moments

I liked the old version because i would read from where i left off and read up until now. But now it just springs to the top.

Nothing too special or even local. Mostly the usual NBC U.S. News

It only posts news from twitter. Very few settings to customize your experience. Good idea though. Give me real news alerts. Not just headlines from twitter.

It is an ok app if you are in the US I guess but there is no Canadian content at all. And believe me, there is news here too.

But content absolutely ignores Canadian news. A good tool for getting lots of push notifications about local and national American news.

Setting section is too poor. There even is no contact/help section. Would be better to add option to choose topics and regions/countries as some people may not be interested in who beats whom in say, a countrys women basketball league!
