When major stories break - of the many notifications I get, 90% of the time I hear it from Breaking News first.
I seriously monitored my notifications and these guys almost always showed up first by a good 20+ minutes. Same for local stories.
I am giving this 5 stars because it breaks news better than anyone.
However, I find the format and UI a bit clunky. So I usually end up reading the expansive story in other apps. But it does exactly as promised and for that I give it 5 stars.
