### 5/5 — User

*2013-02-28*

I love this app.  It is a must buy.

All sorts of interesting things, and I can follow up on it if I want. 

Very well done.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-02-28*

Thank you. I was looking for exactly this.

### 5/5 — All the random news I like

*2013-02-27*

There's none of the bs surfing, just nice interesting news

### 4/5 — Elegant and Simple!

*2013-02-09*

This app is great for a 'morning briefing' on the news of the day. Simple, clean, and very informative. Most importantly, the app doesn't consume tons of data.

### 4/5 — Clean.  Simple.  To the point.

*2013-02-01*

No clutter, no annoying ads, and no sources to manage.  Just install and you're linked in.  I'd only possibly add an optional image to accompany some of the headlines.  When I'm on mental cruise-mode, it helps to have something relevant to break up the text a bit.

### 3/5 — UI Clean, Stories not so much

*2013-01-31*

This app does a great job proving a fast and slick interface that's broadly reminiscent of a newspaper.

However when you select a story, it just heads to the Internet through its in-app browser.  Needs Instagram or Readability integration & then it will be very useful.
