Newsrific app review: stay up-to-date on feeds

Reviews

Introduction

Staying on top of all your favorite RSS feeds just got a whole lot easier thanks to this next app. The Newsrific app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone makes it possible for you to check out news on the go and very quickly. It's up to you to decide what categories you want news on and which sources you want to get information from, making for a customized experience. The app is useable both online and offline, making it perfect for anytime.

Choose Your Feeds and Enjoy

The Newsrific app makes accessing and reading the news fast and easy. Speaking of speed, that's one of the greatest pros with this app as you'll enjoy lightning fast speeds. As mentioned you can use this app online and offline. The way the app works is that you choose the news sources you want to receive feeds from and then pick the categories you are interested in. There is no having to wade through information you aren't interested in; this is strictly news you want. In that sense it also makes reading the news a whole lot faster because you aren’t skimming through the stories that don’t relate to your interests.

This is a free app to use and has just been updated to be compatible with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus as well as iOS 8. Keep in mind you’ll need to be 17 years of age or older to use this one. The app doesn't have any customer comments or a customer rating at this time.

Features of the App

There are a handful of features and tools in the Newsrific app all with one common purpose: to make for an enjoyable user experience. If you're reading the news at night you can switch to night mode so your eyes aren't straining, it uses iOS native font so it's clean and sharp, there is a massive selection of RSS feeds listed or you can add one of your own, and you'll notice the color theme change through the day to make for an enjoyable experience for you.

I really like the time-saving aspect of this app. Instead of having to visit multiple sources, websites, and apps you can find all your preferred news on one screen. You can add comments to stories, share it by email and social media, read just the headline or the full article, and more.
