News Republic 2015.130.1528.5043
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a variety of utilities made just for this purpose and one of those which offer quick access to many news providers is suggestively called News Republic.
Inspired appearance for a well organized GUI
The application comes with a practical design that puts the informational aspects above good looks, but the graphics are by no means left out completely, as the cool animated tiles and the other elements are carefully drawn.
All the articles are kept well organized and easy to access, while the categorization made available by the news provider helps a lot as well. The waiting time when selecting the articles is not too long, but there are minor delays in fetching and displaying the online content.
Select your interests and browse the news
The ability to select the areas of interest, as well as the sources is more than welcomed, as you can opt for a specific type of content and disregard information that is irrelevant to you. Even the order in which the headlines are presented or the sources arranged can be customized with ease.
The cool tiles shown inside the main screen of News Republic can be moved and resized with ease using the buttons that appear in the lower side of the screen after pressing for a few seconds on any of the tiles.
Entering any news category will reveal all the articles, neatly stacked in a list and arranged according to their publishing time.
Read articles, watch videos and share them on the fly
News Republic offers a diverse choice in terms of content, so you can look at the most important subjects of the moment or pick a certain category from the area to focus only on a specific kind of information.
The video content is loaded quite promptly and the quality of the clips is very good, so as long as you have a decent Internet connection, you can enjoy a lot of content.
Sending out the headlines and the links to any of the articles can be done in a simple manner, as the utility supports email, SMS and social network sharing possibilities.
