Customer Reviews
Good... But:
Please PLEASE remove the "Morning Line" banner on the bottom of the page(s). Together with all the other fixed items, it leaves too little "real estate" for the news items.
PBS any time anywhere!
It is well polished for browsing for a nybble or byte of the PBS news. I like having a choice of transcript, audio or video.
I suggest leaving up the Morning Line banner ad for just a few seconds but include an I-for-info circle on the banner for people who want to know more about this service. The screen real estate is too precious to keep the banner up full time.
Thanks for the high quality reporting and trustworthy discussion of issues by the entire team!
Doesn't provide News Hour anywhere
This app provide snippets of the News Hour. They break up the news into bits, and this might be a 'feature' if you are watching on a phone, or over a 3G network. However, you can't watch the entire show, as you can online. You can't watch the 'news' part of the show, only the features. In short, it is not what is says it is, and doesn't give you the content that is readily available online.
