Miami Local News app review

Reviews

Introduction

With the advent of technology, news apps for the iPhone and iPad are, quite literally, a dime a dozen. If you live in sunny Miami and are experiencing trouble figuring out which app would do the best job of keeping you posted on the city's events, it's worth considering Miami Local News.

What we have here is an app that assimilates multiple news sources and presents it to the user in a beautiful way to ensure relaying of all the various perspectives on any single news story, along with comprehensive coverage of a variety of events going on around the city.

You can find this app in the News section of the App Store, where it can be purchased for 99 cents. Since this app contains no advertisements, I feel the cost is absolutely reasonable.

Let's take a look at this app's features.

News Sources

Miami Local News is a minimalist app when it comes to the space requirements and compactness of it. It will only take up 0.9 MB of space on our iOS device. The lightweight nature of this app can be clearly seen in its functionality, as it swiftly responds to the user's gestures.

The content includes various news sources, hand-picked by the developers to relay all-round information to users. Sources include the Miami Herald, South Florida Sun Sentinel, South Florida Business Journal, NBC Miami WTVJ, ABC Miami WPLG, CBS Miami WFOR, FOX Miami WSVN, outside.in Miami, Miami Metblogs, South Beach Magazine, and Miami Weather.

I strongly believe that the consumption of news presented by mainstream media should be either limited or highly varied, so individuals are able to get a true and honest view of each event. Mainstream media sources generally have an agenda they need to get across, so stories are spun to suit this. Having a mix of sources like in this app, however, alleviates that problem, making this a superior news app.

When you launch this app, you'll see all the news sources segregated by type including Newspapers, TV, and Magazines & Blogs. When you tap on any news source, you're taking to a new page where you'll find all the information presented by that particular news source in chronological order.

There is also a weather widget at the top of the screen along with the official logo of the source as well as a matching theme. Tap on any news story to read it, save it to favorites, or share it with your friends and family by email.
