Excellent casting news app I've used this app for almost 5 months now. It allows me many different news sources. I am not forced to watch certain biased news media. This app gives me an option to give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Most MSN gets a thumbs down from me. The only issue I have is that it only offers one local Atlanta news source. I cast this app to my big screen TV via Chromecast. Just realize most of the news you get is usually two hours old. For me it's good for catching up on what missed.

It's interesting. It does show you news articles as promised, but narrowing down what you want to see in your feed is quite a bit of work. It keeps going off on tangents with one specific news source, and doesn't give any variety from your other choices. It's not very intuitive, I guess. It does an option to remove individual stories, but I have to keep back and forth in order to see a new feed that doesn't contain the articles I've dismissed. Needs a better "refresh" option. And thanks to the developers for the quick feedback and suggestions.

Great App!!! Always have the update on the news from everywhere I want it from!!
★★☆☆☆
I'm trying to use watch up on my phone for some strange reason it will not let me play any clips from Fox News is that a coincidence or censorship
★★☆☆☆
My feed used to be all from channels I subscribe to. Now it's not. Constant videos of irrelevant channels. Ruins the whole point. I don't subscribe to any categories, only specific channels, and I get tons of ABC, foreign news, and tech interviews I hate. All from channels I hate and don't subscribe to. Unliking every video as suggested by support doesn't work. Others have reported as well. There are MANY unwatched videos on the channels i subscribe to. Some of what the app plays seems to be videos from channels I USED to subscribe to or subscribed to on another device? No amount of uninstalling, clearing data, etc seems to fix it. What a shame. I so want this to work. I have submitted to support several times. No solutions, just the same info as responded here. Every few months I try again. Not fixed, no solution.
