StumbleUpon

Get all your information and fun articles in one place with Stumble Upon

Instead of browsing through various websites to get your fun articles and photos, just use Stumble Upon. It's a neat app that serves you content based on your interests and topics you select. It's extremely easy-to-use and allows users to discover and rate pages. So, you know that you'd receive only content voted by others.

Intuitive GUI with some customization features

From the moment you start the app, you realize that developers were more focused on content and design. But that's no necessarily a bad thing. The user-interface was cleverly created to tailor to your every needs and make it easy to you to stumble upon interesting content.

The app requires you to choose from a long list of topics you are interested in, so that it can filter content. You can select as many topics as you like, but there's a minimum of 5. After that, you can start browsing. Switch through posts with the touch of one finger, as StumbleUpon collects content from only top websites.

Like, share or save pages

The whole concept about StumbleUpon is that users decide the top pages that are featured in the app. There's like and dislike icons at the bottom of the page and you can instantly share posts or videos.

The app also provides you with the option of creating lists of your favorite content or saving pages for reading later, and these lists can either be private or public. You can also view all your liked pages and history.

Receive stumbles from your friends

StumbleUpon is a type of web search engine, but also works as a community. You can use the app to find Facebook or Twitter connections and receive stumblers from them, either pictures, web pages or videos.

However, when it comes to videos, most clips that StumbleUpon serves come from YouTube. In addition, you can make several changes to you profile, including editing your photo.
