Daily Mail News 1.3.0.0
When it comes to finding a good app to read the news over a cup of coffee in the morning or during the lunch break in the middle of the day, Windows Phone users have lots of alternatives, one of them being Daily Mail News.
Simple front-end with all the news at hand
This application greets you with a decent GUI, well organized, even if it doesn't excel from the visual perspective. The content is structured neatly, to make it a breeze to access any article regardless of the section you are currently browsing.
Browsing the numerous sections of the application and going through the long lists of news articles are done fluently, while the news texts load fairly quickly and with minimal delays.
There are some advertisement banners inside as well, appearing occasionally on certain pages and changing continuously in the upper side of the screen.
Go through the news categories to find interesting articles
Daily Mail News brings you the latest stories inside the "Home" section of the app, so you can start immediately browsing the hottest articles.
In case you want to go browse some specific news, you can head on to the corresponding area of the utility, as it has dedicated modules for sports or showbiz, as well as other sections.
There is a separate screen where all the remaining categories are available from a list, so you can read health, science, fashion or travel stories. The articles load pretty promptly, with a minor delay, as they are fetched form the online database.
While reading the selected news you will be actually browsing the online mobile version of the website, so most features you are accustomed with if you visited the online pages regularly are now at your fingertips.
Unfortunately, there are no functions for customizing the article text, sharing the links or the content, so you will only be able to use Daily Mail News as a mobile read-only version of the news service.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This utility has a rather simple appearance, with a good organization of the content, but also displaying many adverts. |

Useful for reading the news posted online by Daily Mail, this application lacks sharing options and other features found in many similar tools. |

The app looks inside several sensitive system areas even if they are not related in any way with its functionality. |
Battery4
Should this utility run for a few hours continuously, the battery will discharge a lot sooner than expected due to the very high power consumption. |

Using Daily Mail News is free for all users, but they will have to put up with a relentless stream of adverts. |
Compatibility9
Only those users who own a Windows Phone 8 and above device will be able to install and use this application onto their handsets. |
