News Sources & Presentation

Los Angeles Local News is discreet in its space occupancy, taking up just 0.7 MB of space on your iOS device. This lightweight nature of the app imparts a very swift and intuitive touch to the user experience. It'll take just a few moments to download and launch this app.

You'll be remiss if you don't notice the amazing variety in the content included in this app. The sources include Los Angeles Times (LA Times), Orange County Register, CBS Los Angeles - KCBS, NBC Los Angeles - KNBC, ABC Los Angeles - KABC, FOX Los Angeles - KTTV, The Hollywood Reporter, Outside.In listings for Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Weather.

It's beyond a shadow of a doubt that this app will provide its users a variety of perspectives about the events happening around LA, ensuring that users can make up their own minds about current affairs rather than being influenced by a sole mainstream media news source which bases its news around its money-centered agenda.

Functions & Features

The first thing you'll see when you launch this app is a list of news sources categorized by type, such as Newspapers, TV News, and Magazines & Blogs. When you tap on any of these sources, you'll be taken to a new screen with the logo of the source at the top of the screen and the breaking news stories reported from around LA in chronological order.

You'll also find a weather widget tucked away at the top of the screen, displaying the weather as well as cloud conditions. This app gets full points for presentation because it does a truly great job of amalgamating various news sources, yet making them all look really presentable. Even the individual news stories are laid out beautifully.

You're bound to find news stories that you want to share or save for easy retrieval later on. For this purpose, the app has a favorites feature as well as a sharing feature that enables users to email any news story with just a couple of taps. You can also open the news stories in Safari.
