Developer: 10 Mile News

10 Mile News was able to find local news papers to the various zip codes I entered.  I tried entering zip codes from major cities as well as smaller cities like Bismarck, ND.

Some of the positives of 10 Mile News:

— It was able to find local news papers in all the zip codes I entered

— It found major news papers as well as smaller news papers.

— It was able to find newspapers based on my GPS location

— Headlines and snippets are helpful to browse through news stories

— You can get stories from local newspapers that you had no idea existed

 

Some of the negatives of 10 Mile News:

— Some times slow to load pages

— No way to bookmark or save news articles

— No way to search for news stories about a particular subject

— General navigation through the app was clunky.  It would some times force close or take forever to load pages.

 

10 Mile News isn’t an app I’d use to browse news stories, but like the description says, if you want to get some local news about a place you don’t know much about, it could be helpful.
