News Reader for Your Work – LinkedIn Pulse: Daily News, Powered by Your Professional World Review

If you are looking for an app to feed you news based on what your professional connections are reading on LinkedIn, this app would suit you. However, I have no idea why they took over a completely different app that allowed you to tailor your newsfeeds based on personal preferences rather than those of your professional colleagues. Finally it seems there's a replacement (HeartFeed)!! I was really hoping that LinkedIn would decide to stop ruining their name and give us back the original Pulse by now. It was excellent, and I never found another reader that could match the format before now. I loved how you could scroll up and down across the content providers' rows of article thumbnails. Changing categories was also beautifully simplistic. The new app's user interface seems to emulate other readers that never matched up to Pulse. I am forced to scroll through the apps selection of articles in a more linear fashion (1 or 2 at a time). It takes me much longer to scroll through and find the media that I actually want. Regardless of how I curate this media, it interjects articles that are "trending on your extended network." Again, I don't care what my work colleagues are reading. I was hoping that you would give us back the fantastic reader that it was, but HeartFeed finally saved the day.
