We know you're busy. You want local news and information, but you don't want to have to go searching for what interests you. You want it to come to you.

Cincinnati.com has recently rolled out several updates to our app, which makes it easier to find the information you want. Not only can you read the story, but you can experience it with photo galleries, videos, graphics and links to related content.

You will also be able to receive personalized push alerts so you get the news you want first. This will allow you to choose between seven types of alerts and even set a quiet time so that you don't receive notifications when, say, you're sleeping (or when the kids are napping!).

Download the app here

Customize your push notifications by going to the settings tab inside your Cincinnati.com app, then select 'Manage Alerts.'

Here are the types of alerts you can choose and what content you can expect to receive if you select those alerts:

Breaking news: Here's where you'll find out about the biggest local and national breaking news first. From verdicts in the most talked about trials to pileups that may shut down a highway for hours to high-profile crime stories and amber alerts, you will find out about the most talked-about news before anyone else.

News: Want to keep up with the latest local news? These alerts will bring you the most important or interesting stories of the day -- whether it's an investigation into a death at the Kentucky Speedway or a watchdog story on a scammer who has bilked thousands from local residents. These stories are interesting, informative and something you can only get from Cincinnati.com.

Sports: Keep up with the latest local and national sports news with these alerts. Can't watch the Bengals or Reds game? We'll send you the final score first. Find about about big injuries that might keep your favorite player from Sunday's game. Learn about coaching changes, NFL draft news and more.

Entertainment: Love entertainment news? Want to know when the royal baby is born? When that famous Hollywood couple gets hitched? Choose these alerts if you want to be the first to know about the celebrity news everyone is talking about.

Weather: Stay up to date with the latest weather watches or warnings so you know what to expect when storms are on their way. We will let you know when snow forecasts change, if there is a thunderstorm watch or warnings, or if you should take precautions against flooding. If conditions are ripe for a tornado, we will alert you when you need to take shelter. We'll also let you know when snow cancels class for the biggest local districts and universities.

Traffic: Select this alert if you want to know if there's a crash that's tying up your commute or drive to soccer practice or the Bengals game. You will receive alerts when there are incidents tying up major highways or roads that might cause backups. We'll also update you when the incident has been cleared so you know when to expect traffic to clear up.
