Phoenix Local News app review

Introduction

If you live in the city of Phoenix and are looking for a news app for your iPhone or iPad, then Phoenix Local News is sure to mark the end of your search. It's clear that there are hundreds of news apps flooding the App Store; however, this one is special because it provides you with a carefully curated collection of news sources unlike other apps that only let users access one source.

You'll find Phoenix Local News in the News section of the App Store, where it can be purchased for 99 cents only. This app will keep you posted on all that you need to know about the events unfolding in your city. There are no ads on this app, which further justifies the cost.

Let's have a look at the content and features of the app.

Layout & Features

What I love about Phoenix Local News is that rather than limiting the user's news consumption to just one source, the user gets a variety of perspectives. This is increasingly important as news sources become increasingly more intent on spinning their news stories to fit their agenda rather than providing a service for citizens.

The only downside to this app is that not all news sources are optimized for the iPhone or iPad screen, which can make some of them a little less accessible than the other sources.

Users will see news items in chronological order within any news source, almost like a news feed. This can be refreshed using the icon on the bottom right. Additionally, users can open the article in Safari or simply email it to themselves or loved ones.
