News app review: a news reader for the astute free thinkers who wish to choose what they consume

Reviews

Introduction

If you are in the market for a news reader that allows you full freedom to choose what you wish to listen to, watch, and read, then News is a fantastic iPad and iPhone app that will give you what you are looking for.

With so many news sources that are anything but “fair and balanced,” it is up to us to receive and listen to all perspectives before we make up our minds so we may have a carefully measured and rationally chosen belief. This news reader allows you to choose from thousands of sources and a wide variety of topics to suit your interests.

Let's take a look at how this app manages to deliver all that it promises.

Freedom To Choose

This app has a wonderful way of assimilating information from a variety of sources and displaying it neatly on one page, making it a pleasure to view and use this app. I also must mention that I'm really glad I didn't have to sign up for anything or make any new accounts to begin using this app.

The startup itself is pretty impressive as this lightweight 7MB app makes you feel like you're using a higher version of your iOS device.

Pick out all the different feeds you'd like to keep track off such as newspapers, magazines, blogs, RSS feeds, and even social media! All the feeds will be displayed to you on a single screen or segregated by your fully customizable categories.

You will receive instantaneous, live updates on the feeds you're subscribed to and you can even choose to receive push notifications for your favorite feeds as and when they are updated.

Save & Share

Written articles are picked out and formatted to fit the iOS device and also match the user interface of this app, giving a look and feel of print publications.

You'll also be glad to know that this app support full social media integration, allowing you to share interesting articles you like to your Twitter or Facebook accounts or email them with just a couple of taps. You can start discussions on various topics with your desired groups and see what your peers have to say to get even more perspectives on news stories.

The feature that makes this app stand out is that it's a free thinkers' app. It doesn't impose restrictions on the streams of media you'd like your information from; it allows you to choose any publisher that offers an RSS feed. Overall a very effective and time-saving app.
