Introduction
If you live in the Rocky Mount area of North Carolina and are looking for a way to keep track of the news events, sports, and more while on the go, then The Rocky Mount Telegram is an app that you should consider downloading on your iPhone or iPad.
The Rocky Mount Telegram is a daily newspaper for the area but with this app you can get it completely free of charge as this is an ad-supported app. It covers the news events happening around the Nash and Edgecombe counties.
User Interface & Layout
The Rocky Mount Telegram is a very lightweight app that clocks in at a mere 3.5 MB, and in this small space, it packs a stunning user interface which looks modern and responds swiftly to any and all user commands.
The first impression is stunning as you see the logo at the top of the screen with a red, white, and black user interface that has all the top stories listed out by default. There are tabs under the logo that enable you to switch swiftly between various sections including Police, Sports, News, and much more.
Top stories are displayed in chronological order and at the bottom of the screen you'll find the ads which surprisingly merge seamlessly into the user interface, so they're not nearly as distracting as they can be on other news apps.
