Works well on a Google tv android 9.0 box, with a 5G capable router. The app is free and commercials are fewer than broadcast tv. I can select news from foreign sources or local. Other features show local weather. I like the survey questions about recent news stories and google local road traffic help... 5 stars.
This app presents several live TV news channels as well as prerecorded reels of recent world events. One can enjoy viewing all events without needing any other apps. Its greatest advantage is working without vpn and even with a weak internet connection. Many thanks to developers.
edit, still good like to check the categories. the auto play includes a lot of similar local news stories that I have seen before. the business and international news is something you don't get a lot of so this is very good for that!
I had like how this app goes from News Channel to News Channel it's really easy to check out all the news
with everything that is happening in the Mideast right now I finally spent some time using the Haystack app on Roku. This is very good and I found quite a lot of relevant news from many sources. I like to see what they are all saying and try to get a better perspective of what is really going on. so far I like was thinking about the add free but I guess it doesn't apply to the live feeds might still be worth it will have to see!
