News Web Browser is specially designed for those who like lying on the bed and only using the left hand to read news, sports, stars, politics, fashion, football, motorcycles, cars... I am a fan of this. This is the main reason I create this app. This app does not have advanced features like the famous browsers. It focuses on making the best experience that just uses the left hand only. So it's very simple and super easy to use. Don't download it if you expect a cool and functional web browser. These are the highlight features: + Fullscreen web content for better viewing content. + Most features are optimized to use with the left hand only. Except for adding a new web page because you have to type a URL. + This is built based on the pure web browser of the iOS system so it is very fast. Support email leanhtaiit@gmail.com.
