Customer Reviews

This is a winner (5 stars)
Really a handy way of checking the news from all over. I don't get the gripes about not having a back button -it's right there! You folks need glasses.

Lately, really terrible (1 star)
DO NOT BUY!!! My most used app, until recently. Really buggy, hang ups too. NY post link went bad. Sent email to customer service, NO RESPONSE.

Front-Screen App (5 stars)
This app allowed me to delete about six others. In addition, I customized my view so that only the news I want to check every day is on my opening screen.

There aren't a lot of apps I can say I use every day, without exception, but this is one of them.

One thing though - the icon is seriously boring. :)

Completely recommend for news junkies.
