User reviews
The entire point I use this app is for the radar which they said they had in the ads, but i not sure if it's actually in the app, I can't even find it, if it didn't have a crime map it would be 1 star and I would usually give 4 stars but I dont want to benefit false advertising, and nothing is showing on the crime map on most of the states. It might be broken.

Corbin Testerman, 2025-01-31A common problem with news apps is the compulsive need to show large photos with every topic - so at most we can see 2 topics on the screen at once and have to mega-scroll to get through the list. This is not of value especially as the token photo rarely ties directly to the topic, it is just there to take up space. In this app the "trending" tab does a better job with 4 topics on a screen with just thumbnail pics. Sadly that is the only place with this view. Please consider a "compact" setting
