News To-Go 1.1.0.0
For Windows Phone owners who want to access from their mobile devices all the information, including breaking news, developing stories and so on News To-Go could be one of the possible choices.
Access a wide variety of content from 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 interface has a decent appearance overall.
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 content fetched from online sources.
Add and manage news sources
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.
The feeds that News To-Go comes with by default are structured in alphabetical order and under relevant categories, while you have the possibility to add fresh sources of your own either manually or with the help of the built-in search engine.
Every feed included you choose can be edited in depth, so you can personalize the name, title and even the displayed logo. It is possible to activate 2 live tiles, so you can have on the Start screen a few useful shortcuts for accessing the preferred news sources with one tap.
Read the news and share them on the go
This application enables you to easily look for specific news via the built-in search engine, while the distribution of the news articles can be done through SMS or mail messages, as well as using the social networks you subscribed to.
News To-Go also allows you to mark as favorites the articles you like best in order to have them easily reachable form the dedicated section of the utility.
The configuration of the live tiles includes a lot of options and from the same "Settings" menu you will have the possibility to schedule the news updates and even activate the sleep mode, so as to save some battery power.
