Reviews
TechCrunch: "The design itself is sleek and clean, allowing you to separate each stream...If you are a power reader or a news junkie, Taptu's app is the way to go. Not only does it allow you to access a large number of news sources (thousands), in an easy to read interface, but it allows you to personalize and customize your feeds"
Wired.com: "Taptu's secret sauce lets you mash up mixed streams...I didn't give up on it after some initial enthusiasm. I kept going back not only to read up on things but also to try things out that occurred to me randomly and to tinker with feeds"

One of the best RSS news readers! I have used a ton of readers but Taptu seems to hit all of the marks. My only request is better options for refreshing data. Right it only does one time per day. But otherwise you won't be disappointed with the variety of customization that can be done.
★★★★★
Best news app Simple, clean, able to quickly view all feeds

Premier App For News Junkies From 4* to 5*: Pros: App runs smooth and is stable; Taptu news bundles are comprehensive and great for beginners; easy to access articles; UI refreshingly unique ; let's you load images by clicking; image size scalable; Devs responded and helped me in comments! Cons: Can't save pics/copy text directly from Taptu; not the prettiest app to use; lack of social features; desktop site doesn't sync properly; sharing only provides short url; Search feature is really bad.
★★☆☆☆
Great app, but issue logging back in Have always enjoyed using this app. However, I reinstalled Taptu yesterday after a phone failure and have been unable to login to get back my newsfeeds. This has worked before in the past, however now I just get an error message whenever I try to login
★★☆☆☆
Vertical Scroll Option If I could have that, this app would be perfect. I meant you don't have the option to vertically scroll through the streams. You can article to article. But that takes too long if I have 600+ articles to read everyday, Its good now. Just make everything up to down vice left to right when previewing headlines. Or give us an option to do that.
★★☆☆☆
Great some times If you try to remove a source from the pre built streams, that stream breaks and will no longer load. This is so randomly buggy. Tried removing a far right blog masquerading as news from the US politics stream and now that stream just doesn't load even after a device restart. Why even include far right blogs as news in the first place? Readded the stream and got rid of the same blog and got the same problem. Evidently, you must read far right conspiracy or your not allowed to access the stream!
