Pros and cons of World Newspapers - 200 countries app for iPhone and iPad
World Newspapers - 200 countries app good for
Amazing application!! Very neat and
saves a lot of time if you use your iPod a lot to check news often like I do.. Really like the favorites feature, it saves a lot of time! its amazing how many countries are included.. love this app!!
Great app.crashes too often,needs fixed. Get more U.S. Titles,and Ill Give That Fifth Star.
I check world news often so this application is definitely worth purchasing, because of the time it saves instead of going online searching for news sites. I like the way news are organized, and with favorites its easy to bookmark and go back to the news sites you visit the most. The selection of countries is impressive to say the least even small Caribbean island nations are included, and even my hometowns newspaper site is there! The add news sources feature sometimes doesnt work quite right, however --something to fix in future updates. But very impressive app overall
** UPDATE ** Wow - this update delivers us a nice, modern, full-featured news app. No other news app delivers international coverage like this. The developer obviously takes pride in his work. I will be going through the new features and update my review as necessary.
Simply the most comprehensive news app in the store. I give it 5 stars as is - but it would be even better with enhanced grouping options rather always alphabetic by country. Maybe we could have continent (or regional) groupings - that way we could more simply see the sites available regionally. Definately underappreciated in the app store - dont pass it by.
This program in hands down the greatest news app on here! I especially love the landscape map, easy access, and excellent graphics!!!
Awesome graphics, great use of the horizontal map, new translation feature incredibly useful! A one stop shop for all current events worldwide
Some bad moments
This app looks good but when you try to connect to one of the links all you get is a "missing page" poblem. What is the good of a news program that does not let you read the news?
It doesnt work... the download of any newspaper is "not possible because the app requires a secure connection"
This app contains a bunch of links to various websites. Though you can customize your list, I have found this app useless since you cant read from this small screen.
Im sure the App works great, but if you dont have wireless access, dont bother getting it. I wish the product details had been more specific on how the news is downloaded onto your iTouch. I assure you it isnt through the iPod wire that syncs up your pod with iTunes. It only works by downloading via wireless. I hope you iPhone folks enjoy it!
The reason I got this was because I thought I could set it so that it automatically opened all pages in my preferred language. Unfortunately each page requires that you press the button on the upper right hand corner. Then you have to press another button on the top of the page. (dont see how I can create a preference for the language).
Anyway, Id give this 5 stars if it did what I mentioned above. PLEASE fix and Ill happily change my review and my rating. I have a family member who does not speak English and so I got this for her, but as it is she wont be using it. Thanks.
I didnt like it. I didnt like the layout. Too much reading. It should be like the cnn app.
