While ordinary RSS readers give you hundreds of links to wade through, Newsdesk cuts it down to just the single story on top of each site's frontpage at any given moment.
Since it only takes a few seconds to see what the major stories are, you can make sure you stay updated throughout the day - no matter how busy you are.
Additionally, you can dive into any story simply by tapping on it and opening the original website where it's published.
* Bonus feature: Newsdesk contains an optional set of headlines from major Norwegian online newssites.
NOTE: Newsdesk is not meant to be a substitution for in-depth surfing through your favorite sites, blogs and niche publications. Rather, Newsdesk's selection of newssources is tailored simply to make sure you don't miss any major breaking stories throughout the day.

The BEST news app out there !
sparkyfeb99
The excellent layout and contents makes the reading experience uncomparable. I recommend this one app above anything else.
Pretty darn good

This news app has no bugs noticed, gets news from respectable outlets, and moves to the original stories (and links) easily. I have several news readers but this one I think will be a favorite. Fast and nice visually. Concise and changes top stories often.
Handsome interface, interesting news sources, NO BUGS!

Simple, elegant way to hit several important news providers and the top stories they are carrying. As the developer says, the app is not intended to replace a full news service application but it sure will supplement my buggy NYTimes app and the AP headlines app. Very nicely done.
Best news app yet

This app is great. Fast loading screens makes it worth while, however a more attractive icon would be nice.
Great job

Pretty clean

It does exactely what it says, and saves you some time in searching for news. The only complaint that I have is that on some news articles, the sites require subscriptions to finish the article. Maybe removing articles pulled from those sites would make it more polished, for sure.
Nice, but minorly flawed

I love the concept, and it's done pretty well here. The colors are really well-chosen, but the font on the article summaries is too small, rendering blurry text. Taking you to an internal browser to view articles is great in concept, but obviously they aren't formatted for mobile use, so you end up with the same zooming and panning you'd get in Safari. Also, I know it says it's for skimming news, but a "more" button with further headlines sure would be nice. Good start on what could be a great app.
Great app with even better potential
iThink so
It's a great app that is sleek and creative with a few differnt features. It's updated regularly and it has a nice viewing platform that won't bring up safari. New things I hope to see is the abilty to add more providers and maybe be able to change the order that they are in. This is an app that's going to stay with you
