5 Must Have Apps for Missoulians

Many times when news breaks in Missoula, there are 3 places to look for the story. The previously mentioned KPAX and Missoulian apps, and the KGVO app. In many instances, you will find interesting minor stories on KGVO that you won't find on the other apps as the KGVO news staff covers the big stories along with burglaries, traffic, assaults and other infractions you may not hear about elsewhere.

Missoulians have moved away from buying the actual paper for 2 reasons. We can read news online for free, and the paper is distributed once per day, meaning if there's breaking news, you have to wait until morning to read about it. Not with the Missoulian app. It's a great way to keep up on the news and local activities without having to wait for the paper to hit your doorstep. Plus, the app doesn't have that annoying "take this survey to continue reading" feature.

Another free app that is simple to use and almost never fails on functionality. Checking your account balance is so fast and easy, you can do it in between ordering your food at a drive through and deciding to use your debit card to pay at the window. Believe me, I've been there.

When there's breaking news in Missoula, you want to know what's going on asap. The KPAX app keeps your news feed fresh and offers a very handy alert feature so you are dinged when they post breaking news.

Listen to your favorite Missoula radio station no matter where you're at! As long as you have cell service, you can listen to The Blaze through the app without using a lot of data. Plus, if you need to know the name of a song or band, you can find out who you're listening to as you're listening. You'll also have direct access to music news, local news, funny blogs and you can enter contests right from the app. It's FREE in your app store and on Google Play.
