★★☆☆☆
Poor keeps crashing eeps crashing on iPad and android says can't download content. Use to be a great app don't know what happened to iti
★★☆☆☆
Can't zoom Are you kidding me. Why can I not zoom in on things. Why is there no support? Somebody should fix this. I have the iPhone version AND I can zoom in on articles. I'm sick of panning left and right. Get it together...
★★☆☆☆
Worthless App Don't bother. This app will delete your custom news feeds every week. You'll constantly have to set them up over and over again. Way too frustrating. UNINSTALLED
★★☆☆☆
Does not save favorites Great concept. Follow stories and decide which publisher's version to read. Or compare versions from different views. The app has many outlets and topics to follow. Unfortunately the android app does not save favorites. I must re select the feeds very time I open the app. A real pin. I prefer the ipad app version.
