Latest Reviews

Best free news app I've found thus far.
October 08 2009

Don't care for the many ads, but it is free, so can't complain. Simple layout without having to open so many pages is nice. Being able to add your own RSS feeds is great. Just wish you could catagorize your own RSS feeds more. This app should at least get a look at.
