Perfect

I have used it every day for months. Very well done.

hmmm.

this app is horrible. the layout isnt fluid or easy to use. I wasted a buck :[

This One is a Keeper!

Works great and a fast way to check with many news sources all in one app.

#1 in News Apps

The top news application for the iPhone.. Stellar job.

Why

Why would you pay $1 for a non customizable app Just Search you favorite newspaper and download it for FREE.

Great App, except that...

July 15, 2010 update: Hey devs, how about an update, its been a while! We await your iOS4.0 update, to keep this app relevent. WE NEED MULTI-TASKING, state-saving, call it what you want, please give it to us!! ==================== ...it drops the wifi connection after a little while, as you are reading something. This happens to me every day as I read tech blogs accessed from this app. Please fix! But other than this, a convenient pleasure to use. We need an upgraded iPad version, too!

Lately, really terrible

DO NOT BUY!!! My most used app, until recently. Really buggy, hang ups too. NY post link went bad. Sent email to customer service, NO RESPONSE.

Good, but never updated.

This app was my favorite way to access news - it still sorta is, but the app is a little buggy at times and does not support multitasking. Due to this my jbed phone has to use backgrounder and run it in the background, which consumes memory. I think the devs must be dead! Update please! Certain links dont work any more and need to get the new mobile site links.

Great

Excellent news app for the iPhone but not yet designed for the iPad so no good for that.

Front-Screen App

This app allowed me to delete about six others. In addition, I customized my view so that only the news I want to check every day is on my opening screen. There arent a lot of apps I can say I use every day, without exception, but this is one of them. One thing though - the icon is seriously boring. :) Completely recommend for news junkies.

Great but needs some fixing

I love the app because as a news junkie, I love the ease of going to the websites quickly. The app would have got a 5/5 but for two reason it did not. One there are several links that are dead or not working. Second the makers of this app seems not to fix or update the app after sending several emails. If the developers not willing to fix the dead links, then paying $0.99 not worth it.

Pop Ups!!!

I have had this app for over 6 months and I initially liked it in spite of the difficulty of getting from screen to screen. But since the last update, Pop Ups come on non-stop. Unless this is changed, the app is worthless.

User

This app always crashes within 2 seconds of my attempt to open it. Hard to review what I cant use but Ill rate it a FAILURE at this point.

Doesn

I havent noticed any ad blocking on any sites I visit and it hasnt made my browsing any faster. Biggest change I noticed was it changed the font on Drudge, big deal.

Dont Buy

Not optimized for iPhone 5. Developer abandoned this app. No update in almost three years. Dont waste your money.

Use Google Search thru Chrome!

This developer has continued to release other apps, but has had no update for this one forever. Ive had this app since my 3GS days & it hasnt changed a bit. This app really doesnt do anything more than Google Search, especially if using Chrome & just bookmarking the sites that you go to often anyways. And Google does it all faster, it syncs it across all devices and they update!!!

Impossible to navigate

What a waste of time. Waste of money

Misleading description and poor design

I bought this app specifically as an ad blocker and not only was I unimpressed with the poor user interface....it did not block a single ad when I tried to use it for a streaming site on my iPhone six. Plus the display isnt even in HD. I want my dollar back.

Didnt even work.

Worst app ever. It didnt work at all with my iPhone.

Unresponsive

Total waste of money. Cant arrange, add, delete news sources. Most functions dont respond, and no wonder when the app hasnt been updated in 6 years. Support link takes you to a site where the support link is also inactive.
