Bottom Line

Design / UI8 The GUI is indeed user-friendly, however it seems a bit simplistic and not many customization options are available.	Function8 The app performs well, articles are also available for offline reading and can be saved for later reading, translations are available, so is narration.	Security9 No online registration is required for the app to perform its functions.
Battery9 It doesn't drain your battery, so you don't have to worry about that.	Price7 The app is completely free of charge, however it comes with pop-up ads and no option to remove them, not even an upgrade.	Compatibility9 It requires version Android 2.1 or later making it accessible to many users.

Editor's Review

VERY GOOD

It's a great app for reading the latest news from around the world, divided into categories, however the pop-up ads ruin its whole appearance.
