Local News & Weather: Haystack App Reviews

Minus one star for annoying rate this app pop up.

I watch this app every evening while I am doing mindless tasks: This is what I like about this app: 1)It gives me the news that I am interested in, in short clips, from various stations. 2)It often includes clips of things I would not normally open, but the clips are short, so I keep watching (rather than skipping) and I wind up being quite interested in something I would have ignored. Maybe it figures out what I might find interesting. 3)You can e-mail clips to others. 4)The support is excellent and very prompt. They really care.

My favorite app-but now clips are being cut short in playing full content a good deal of the time. Dont know if this is a you tube or app problem but is now a frequent happening. Appreciate your efforts at improving the app- still not as smooth operating as earlier editions- using anair 2, iOS 9.2 and you latest update. Thanks for your efforts and will keep downloading updates.

If you are slightly interested in News this is your app. Haystack finds recent news stories which match your interest and presents them in a easy way. They loose a star because the sometimes play new stories Ive watched before and they need to work on zeroing in on news

Love this app. Also love it on the new Apple TV. Thanks!

Its alright, no major issues so far.

I feel I have a well balanced grasp of news across all or most of the news outlets out there. I can compare what they are saying and make an educated decision of what I believe is the truth. Im watching the watchers baby. Thanks Haystack!

No other option really to watch news on chromecast

I have been in Asia without news from the US for almost a year. This app brings me back home! It is so well done and truly makes itself custom to your liking. Great interface and so well done! Thank you very much developers for such a beautiful app!

Highly recommended if you are a news junkie but dont have time to watch the news. Also, if you love late night, but cant keep your eyes open that late!

This app is perfect, for it shows me the news I want to see without all the extra stuff I dont care about. Its very easy to use, so anyone can use it and no bugs. I cast it to my tv, and it looks and feels like Im watching the regular news. Definitely worth downloading.

I really like it because I can connect it to my chrome cast.

Having cut the cord about 10 years ago this app has proven to be my main source for news television and its even better then network news since you can customize the sources and the topics.

Still needs to get a more stable and better responsiveness in the animations and transitions between videos. It crashes sometimes but it is really enjoyable to use it

Its pretty good. I like the concept and find myself using this app a lot. However, I keep getting an error message that says unable to play video sometimes which is a bit annoying.

Great for getting my news everyday. I let it play for hours sometimes.

Very very good app

Great app to catch up on various news. Love chromecast capability

Great concept but needs work. I just leave this running on my desk all day long. Worst thing is coming back from PIP, the video starts playing from the beginning. Id rather it just didnt have PIP at all until its fixed.

Good, seamless integration of news bits from various trusted sources
