Review

Great app. Sooo many sites to choose from.

Hard to use

Has a lot of interesting websites, but terribly hard to navigate back to the startup screen once you exit it to visit a website. The only way I can find to do it is to reload the app. App desighn needs to better thought out.

Theres nothing better

This is a whole lot better than opening Safari. Its a quick glance at all the great websites! 5 stars!!!

Great Application, Well Worth It!!

This app is really worth it!! I like to read the news while I am communting to work and this app makes glancing at articles and headlines a breeze. This is my primary app in the mornings. I highly recommend it to those you just want to read news and web articles online without the fluff and overhead of ads.

My most used app now

This is fastest way to check all of my favorite sites on my iPhone. Im not surprised that this app has no publicity. Since it blocks ads, its the app that no news companies want you to have.

Awesome app!!

Great app for reading the news. I do all my news reading on this app @likfishn: There IS a back button. You must have closed the toolbars and entered full screen mode. Just tap the bottom-right corner to get the toolbars back. You can see what the toolbar looks like in the screenshots.

A BACK Button please!!!!!!!

What it says above.

My Apologies!

Just had written a poor review not realizing the issue about poor navigation had been resolved. Now a very good app, highly recommended.

@tamihone

Read all the latest reviews... There is NO back button!

Great!!

Here I was a registered news junkie on my 12th step - almost clean...then I try this app. The sweaty palms are back and Im hooked again! Seriously, faster and more convenient than any of my individual dedicated news apps- even faster than my PC/cable service. Dont understand people saying there is no back button? Has back button and navigates VERY quickly! Ive at least double news reading/absorption rate...apologies for sucking up all the neighborhood bandwidth Dudes, I cant stop myself. Bravo.

Adblock for iPhone!

Its about time this came out. Now that there are no ads, there is so much screen space now... Tilt-scrolling is awesome. :)

This is a winner

Really a handy way of checking the news from all over. I dont get the gripes about not having a back button -its right there! You folks need glasses.

Really really good app

I bought this app because the other app that these developers made "5-0 Radio Pro" was really cool. And its safe to say that this one is just as great. Definitely a 5-star app.

improved!

Recent updates to StartUp have increased its utility on both mobile and conventional web pages. The developers have assembled a superb collection of mainstream media for one-click access. Its a front-page app, a great coffee companion.

Startup Browser

This is the best of the newsfeed readers I have tried - out performing both newsfeeder elite and newshour. The interface is smooth and easily customizable. Icons are very user friendly with some help built in. Customer support is prompt and reliable. Fred

Makes news easy

Basically a browser with hundreds of news-oriented, mobile site bookmarks. You can arrange the icons of these bookmarks on a front page, and even add your own. Blocks most ads on the mobile sites. Toggle the controls off to free up screen space, but you can still navigate back and to the home page even with the controls invisible. At times slower than Safari. The only real problem I have with it is that it feels unresponsive because when you tap an icon, it doesnt darken long enough to give you a sense that youve made your input. Also, the address bar doesnt turn into a progress bar as in Safari, so even though there is a small spinning wheel, you dont know if the page is really loading until you see it happen. Minor nits to pick include these: I would like to be able to omit the Instapaper, iTunes, and "Apps" buttons. Sometimes links from Google News dont launch properly. Cant open multiple windows.

needs work

should be easier to change the pages ur looking at

Love it !!!!!

Got this app a few weeks ago, love it, especially how u can get all your news in one browser..And love how it is intergrated with instapaper...Good job...recommend it!!!!

good collection of sites and works well

Nice to have an organizable collection of one-touch sites. The sports category has relatively few sites though. There are no car-racing sites. Please make sure at least NASCAR is added. Thanks.

Dont read any other news but this!!

This is by far the best most convenient way to get all my news. Better than google news, ap news, and even browsing through many Internet sites for news. One app has many many news sources, blogs, customizable, and fast. They should really be showcased, and please make an ipad app, since Im getting one 4/3. Thanks
