NewsNation's iOS app delivers live and on-demand news programming from Nexstar's 110 local newsrooms. The platform targets viewers seeking fact-based reporting without partisan commentary, featuring scheduled broadcasts and national coverage.

Detailed Review

NewsNation: Unbiased News positions itself as a fact-based alternative to partisan news networks, leveraging Nexstar Broadcasting's extensive network of 5,400 journalists across 110 local newsrooms. The iOS application streams the network's flagship programming including Morning in America, Rush Hour, On Balance with Leland Vittert, and NewsNation Prime with Marni Hughes, providing scheduled live viewing alongside on-demand content. The interface follows standard streaming app conventions with a program guide, search functionality, and categorized content sections, though some users report technical issues including app crashes and blank screens according to recent feedback. User reviews consistently praise the perceived lack of bias, with Gur_89 (November 2024) noting 'Finally there is a news outlet which is not biased' and Thad Boozler (August 2024) describing it as 'about as independent as you can get,' though some criticism emerges regarding specific commentators like Bill O'Reilly. While the app successfully delivers its core streaming functionality and appeals to viewers seeking neutral news, technical reliability concerns and the inherent challenges of maintaining truly unbiased coverage in today's media landscape present ongoing considerations for potential users.

I love News Nation although at this time I can only listen to it on my IPhone. Chris Cuomo and Dan Abrams were my favorite though I am learning to like the replacement. Suddenly the app is no longer opening for me. I just get a blank page. Please advise. I consider myself an Independent Republican. Help me know how to hear it again. I had heard it about 6 months until yesterday! Judy Lynn I love News Nation although at this time I can only listen to it on my IPhone.

Trying to find unbiased news sources nowadays is next to near impossible, but newnations is about as independent as you can get. Refreshing to see an actual news source and not straight Democrat or republican propaganda.

I have watched Chris since back on CNN and have continued but I may not be watching anymore if Bill Oreilly is on. He is entitled to his political view but he is such a mean and nasty man. He is rude and disrespectful to Chris and last night was appalling. Get rid of Oreilly. He is old and irrelevant. Such a nasty man.
