Newsdesk app good for
dood, the newest story is not necessarily the most important story! Just sayin...
A good little news app. Even has an internal browser to make it easier to navigate back and forth.
I like the concept, the function and the look of the app. Does what it says it will do and does it well. It would be nice to connect to a few more top news sources though (ie CBC) and have more options for categories beyond the 3 there now ( ie Health, sports, etc). The ability to add our own news sources would be excellent.
This app does exactly what it says it will. It gives you quick look at headlines from a selection of news sources. Digging deeper is easy with the built in browser.
It occasionally doesnt update when switching categories and its also crashed occasionally.
I use it several times a day. Its one of my go-to apps.

世界のニュースの「the ONION」だけなんか怪しげなニュースが載っていると思ったら、ジョークサイトでした（笑）
動作は概して軽快、安定してます。今までrssでBBC/CNN/WSJ全部の見出しを追ってましたが、こちらに乗り換えました。お勧め。
This news app has no bugs noticed, gets news from respectable outlets, and moves to the original stories (and links) easily. I have several news readers but this one I think will be a favorite. Fast and nice visually. Concise and changes top stories often.
Some bad moments
I havent used it extensively but Im noticing bugs within the first few minutes of using it. Pictures dont match headlines (pictures are displayed multiple times, for the wrong headline), and sometimes pictures will dissappear and reload as I scroll.
OveralI its ok but hard to take the headline serious when The Onion is used as a SOURCE. Why? Its like everything listed prior to the source is fake. Seems like waiting on punchline! Doesnt seem like. Serious app of dealt news stories..
I give this app 2 stars. I really like the fact that stories open up in its own integrated browser.
However, it is painfully slow to update, especially when switching between sections - world, sci/tech, etc. Even when Im connected to wifi - it is the app that is slow, not the connection.
It seems that it does not automatically refresh stories immediately upon opening the app and it takes a long time to fetch new stories.
Im not going to delete it but will eagerly await an update since I am a news junkie.
I would really like to see more options for news sources, but the lag issue simply must be attended to.
Thanks
Very good execution with little use of safari. Will quickly give you top stories without wasting time.
As with other news aggregate readers this suffers from the fact that the front-end presents a list of articles and then you are taken to the news sources web site to read the article. Unfortunately this doesnt display articles in landscape mode and, like other aggregate readers, since this is linking to the standard issue web site the text is miniscule and not formatted for the iPhone (or any mobile device) and thus quite difficult to read on the bus/train which is probably exactly where youd want to quickly go through the days latest events.
If you are looking to replace your NYT subscription this is not it. Its not comprehensive. Today it had maybe 10 world articles of which 3 were in the hot news of the day, same topic different sources. Cant do RSS and cant configure sources. Also the photos when refreshing push you to the top which I found annoying. Its free but I cant see using it much. AP news reader Mobile News better.
