GeeksWithBlogs 11.99510
For Windows Phone users, this is possible through a simple app that monitors the GeeksWithBlogs posts and allows you to read them on the go.
A GUI bent on simplicity and readability
As soon as you start this utility, which bears the suggestive name of GeeksWithBlogs, you will surely notice the clean and easy to use layout of the interface. The available news sources are in plain sight and can each be accessed with a single tap.
Loading the data from the selected feeds takes only a split second and the navigation through the lists of posts has a very fluent feel to it, as it lacks delays and other glitches. There is a noticeable drawback, nonetheless, represented by the advertisement banners shown in the lower part of the screen.
Go through an inspired feed selection to find the news you're interested in
GeeksWithBlogs makes it possible for you to access the latest information posted inside the main feed, but it also provides a good selection of blogs from reputed bloggers, so you can follow them as well.
The posts can be loaded and read inside the application itself and you can also opt for opening them inside Internet Explorer.
Take snapshots of the app with a dedicated built-in feature
Easy to activate from the "Settings" menu, the option for having a screenshot button displayed on the feed pages will help you make instant captures of the feed and post lists.
Unfortunately, the sharing options is not working properly and in case you come across a really interesting piece of news, you will not be able to send it to your friends directly from inside the app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The interface is rather plain and unadorned, without offering customization options. Instead, the utility displays some adverts that appear in many areas. |
Function7
GeeksWithBlogs works well as a reader application, but it doesn't allow users to add new blogs to follow or manage the existing entries. Also, some of the blogs included by default are not longer updated. |
Security7
For a simple blog post reader app, this tool needs to access several system areas that are not related to its functions, like the phone dialer or the phone and owner information. |
Battery8
The moderate power consumption of this app enables the battery usage to remain well within low to average limits. |
Price7
Even if it comes free of cost, the ads and other drawbacks take away some of its value as is barely worth having installed rather than accessing the pages through a web browser. |
Compatibility10
All Windows Phone users will be able to have this app installed and running on their handsets as it only needs version 7 or above of the operating system. |
