Sports Republic
But if you're a sports fan, it's even more important to stay informed especially since many apps provide you with all the latest news directly on your Android phone. Sports Republic is one of those apps that comes with an intricate system with which it tells which are your favorite topics and gives you content based on that.
Sleek and intuitive interface with plenty of features at hand
The app requires online registration mainly for allowing users to sync content from their phone to the website version. You can register with your Facebook or Google accounts, or use your email address to do so.
Moreover, it comes with a tutorial showing new users what they can do inside the app and how to access all its features. Afterward, you're prompted to pick your favorite topics from a long list of categories. You can add more later. A side menu grants access to a selection of the top most important articles from all the topics that you've chosen earlier.
Browse through all sort of articles
The home menu is divided into thumbnails featuring pictures and articles. The most important reports have the largest thumbnails and there's also a search bar on top for you to type in words and find all sort of articles.
The app also lets you customize the home screen, by allowing you to add or remove topics, resize or move topics around. The app also comes in multiple languages to choose from and it lets you pick content providers as well. Sports Republic also lets users pick topics and articles that they might want to download for offline reading. All downloads are done via WiFi.
Use TagNav and rate articles
One of the nice features inside the app is that it lets you navigate through tags and thus find articles easier. The app also learns your behavior and gives you recommendations based on your preferences. Users can also change the font size and share articles if they wish.
You can also share articles online or switch to the night mode if the lights are dim. A feature that speaks text is also available and you can also rate reports using the smiley faces, to express yourself and give an input on the article that you've just read.
