Anybody download it yet? I did, but I hate it. It has a button for the app to track your location so I pressed the don't allow button and now my reading is interrupted all the time with an error message saying that it can't track my location. I did this at first because I thought that it was a major privacy intrusion, but ow using the app to read news is, if not almost impossible, a major pain in the ass and I can't locate the area so that I can try pressing the allow button instead and have them know where I am every single minute of the day just so I can read the news without those stupid error messages popping up.

I think they might have done that because of the weather thing that's built in. I'm greatful for it because I'm in between school and home, so...

Yeah, NFB Newsline, and if you had paid attention before clicking no, it clearly said that turning your location on for the app was required. I looked at it, and it was for the weather feature. It's accurate now. Also, the app is free.

The app doesn't constantly track your location. It only tracks it when you have the app open.
