Best news app ever

A Fine News Reader

I have tried different news feed apps over the years, but I continue to return to this Reader app for its consistency and periodic improvements. Keep up the good work!

I've used this app for over a year, and it's the first app I open in the morning. It's my way of "reading the morning paper." I love that I can customize my "edition" by choosing which news sources are included from the dozens available. And each article has a link at the bottom to the source document. I've looked at a lot of news apps, and this is the best!

Good

Maybe add a feature to where you can filter the news from a particular source, like if I only wanted to see news from venturebeat.com I could

Videos always stop after about 15 sec: fixed, then broken again

PN in SB

It's back to doing the same thing again! ========================= Deleting and reinstalling the app on my iPad fixed this problem (temporarily) ========================= I like the app, but the video always stalls and you have to scan forward in hopes it will resume. I have a good Internet connection and this does not happen with other videos like those in the ABC News app. ========================== 3 months have passed and same problem. I have a 50mps connection thru Cox. At about 15 seconds into each video, the stream stalls and can only be continued by dragging the slider forward quite a bit. It has done this for months. I don't have any problems streaming video in other apps.

mmmmmmm

One of The Best News Apps

Hazeldad

This is my favorite news app, and I use a lot of them. It has a very nice, smooth, interface that enables you to scroll quickly, but the last several versions have cluttered it up with sharing buttons at the top and the bottom and below every article. It's a step backwards. What makes this a truly fantastic app is that you can customize the content, the news sources, and also the order in which content appears on your homepage. No other app does all this. Very nice indeed! So So Content. While this app has numerous providers, it lacks some very significant ones such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Politico, and many others. I find myself turning to Smart News more often because the stories are more interesting. Great Homepage The homepage has all of the major sections with the lead stories right there. I don't have to hunt for the section I want to start with, and I don't have to depend on the app deciding for me what I want to see first. This is a great system. Still Needs Work. One of the more recent updates ruined the interface on the article screens. Once you pick your topic at the top level, you move to series of articles. For some bizarre reason every single article has three buttons below them allowing you to react or share. But how could one possibly know how or whether to react or share an article that hasn't been read? In the meantime by having them below every single article, you can only see two articles at a time. If you're on the home screen you can get to anything fairly easily, but if you drill down very far, you have to tap the back arrow repeatedly to get back to the home screen. The home button is one most people probably use continually every day. It's a shame they deleted it. The connections button is the little logo at the top right that shows you how your topic is connected to other topics. Personally, I never use it. Perhaps others do, but I cannot see how that would be more important than a home button. I'm not sure what they were thinking… The "My News" appears to be just another variation of the digest screen which still remains. I'm not sure why we need two versions of this. The floating share icon appears when you scroll the top sharing buttons out of sight, but again it's totally unnecessary as most articles have sharing buttons built into them already. In fact, rather than leaving the sharing button at the bottom out of the way, they have sharing buttons at the top and bottom. There's a button for Facebook, Twitter, and email, and then another button that allows you to share with any of those. That last button does everything the previous three do and then some, so again it's a complete waste of screen real estate. Really all that is needed is one share button. If the developers would understand that what people want to do is read the news first and foremost, they would eliminate all of those buttons and simply replace them with one discrete button on the top menu bar. There are a few improvements that I would like to see: First, add a few more conservative news outlets since most of the current ones are on the liberal side. Second, Restore the Home Button! Third, delete the floating share icon. Fourth, add major media outlets if possible.

Only for political news

Way to liberal. Needs more of both sides. Other than that, this is an awesome app
