What the app does
It opens Lago Vista Watchdog full screen from its own icon. It shows the same stories as the website and is always up to date, because every story loads fresh from our site. If you have no connection, you see a short offline notice instead of an error.
It does not track you, ask for your location, or send notifications. To hear about new stories, you can get new stories by email. Our privacy policy explains the one small note your browser keeps.
How to remove it
On an iPhone or iPad, press and hold the icon, tap the option to remove or delete it, and confirm. On Android, press and hold the icon and tap Uninstall or Remove. On a computer, open the app, then its menu, and choose Uninstall.
