Sometimes there are some small delays when loading long lists or when going through the menus of the application, especially when it is opened for the first time.
Access news, photos and podcasts on the go
Reading and most importantly finding articles is a breeze, as this app is well prepared with a good search engine and a comprehensive database. Thus, you can read a wide variety of news, tag articles as favorites and have them added in the dedicated section, view the latest videos and so on.
There is a special section where you can find some video and audio podcasts, but a more interesting area is the "Curiosity" module where you can view a plethora of photos taken by the Mars spacecraft sent by NASA on the surface of the Red Planet.
