Highlights
Great app and great customer service
Perfect for my morning commute
Lots of interesting news items
Keep up the great work guys
This app is a great idea
This was one of my favorite apps
Same obnoxious Cape Cod Chips commercial ad nauseam every 3 minutes
The ad just keep looping and never into news reporting
Their text to speech engine sucks
I can play maybe up to 30 news briefs and then it freezes up
The actual implementation is awful
This is a poor man's Umano
Theirs has many awkward pauses and weird enunciation
It's unneeded redundancy
I had to uninstall it
