RSS Central 2.13.0.38
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 RSS Central.
Well organized and customizable interface
Thanks to a well organized layout that can accommodate a large flow of information, this app offers a pleasant experience, especially taking into consideration the nice appearance of the interface.
Going through the numerous sections of the utility is a breeze and accessing the main commands is also simple, as most of them reside in the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen.
A nice touch from the visual standpoint are the display customizations that include a few cool background images and transition effects. Occasionally a prompt to buy the full version will appear out of nowhere, while some banners also are shown in certain areas of the app.
Easily manage RSS subscriptions
The ability to select the news sources for each of the areas of interest is more than welcomed, as you can opt for having specific feeds included in the list and disregard the ones that are irrelevant to you.
A great thing is that beside the more than a dozen subscriptions preloaded in RSS Central you can add as many as you want by typing in the feed address or by using the neat built-in search engine ready to help you find on the spot all the sources you are after.
The order of the feeds in the main list can be easily modified, but you will have to restart the application to have these changes come into effect.
The refresh frequency is set at one hour by default, but you can choose time intervals from one minute up to 24 hours and there is a neat option that you can use when you want to update the feeds by hand.
Read and share the news on the go
This utility is offers a convenient manner of reading any piece of news you pick, as it supports both portrait and landscape modes and features a rotation lock for those who want to keep the current screen orientation.
The navigation among articles is smooth and made easier thanks to the dedicated buttons from the main menu, while opening the stories in Internet Explorer is one tap away as well.
Sending out the headlines and the links to any of the articles can be done in a simple manner, as RSS Central supports email, SMS and social network sharing possibilities.

In order to have the application function well, a lot of power is required, so the battery usage remains very high. |

All the functions available inside this application are free to enjoy, but getting rid of the prompts will take a small amount of money from your pocket. |
