Love it, slight bug

It's not an RSS reader, and I like that. Just a very clean way to read headlines. Fix the slow/non-loading bug and I'd give a higher score.

An excellent news aggregator, plus the display is very easy to read.
Updates needed!

I have been using this app for nearly 3 years. I think it's awesome, but it really needs an update. How about iso4 fast app switching? Or hi res graphics for the retina display. Or maybe landscape mode? An iPad app would be nice as well...
Has had the same article for the past 4 weeks

The entertainmet section has had the same article about the show Glee at the top of the page for the past 4 weeks. Make it go away! The Emmys are over, time to move on.
Unimproved Update

Still no landscape view in the long overdue update?! Big changes for iPad, but still no effort to make the tiny screen of an iPod or iPhone readable? Five-star selection of articles and one-star design and usability. Prior Review: Okay, But Could Be Better I use this daily to skim the news, despite problems refreshing. Built-in Web browser is useless because the text is too small to read. Should either eliminate it, launching Safari for every article, or add landscape mode. Fortunately there is a button to switch to Safari, but since that's always necessary it just adds an extra step. Gotta kill the daily article from The Onion! It wastes space and discredits Newsdesk. I may stop using this after setting up RSS feeds in other readers.
Worse than before

On the iPhone 4, the images and icons are pixelated and look bad. Most of the stories will ONLY open in Safari? What's the point of the app, if the story won't even open in the app. Same issues on the iPad. Won't open most stories right in the app. It used to be ok on the iPhone, now it's useless.
News stories open in Safari

So there is now no point in using this app. Very unfortunate, as I used this several times a day. I'll keep it a week just to see if they update it, otherwise, they may as well delete it off the store. Also, the pictures are now pixelated and very low resolution. Update: been awhile and I guess they don't care about the app anymore. I'm now using New York Times app, and I'm very happy with it. I recommend.
Bring back

I've used your app with great satisfaction for a year now, but I was hoping you could bring back AlJazeera headline like the app used to have
Needs updating

It was a good idea, but the categories and news sources don't seem to be configurable and some of the news sources, e.g. Financial Times, are not accessible to everyone without subscription.
