1/5App does not open
Upon opening the app, it immediately closes

5/5Fine, fine app
** UPDATE ** Wow - this update delivers us a nice, modern, full-featured news app. No other news app delivers international coverage like this. The developer obviously takes pride in his work. I will be going through the new features and update my review as necessary. Simply the most comprehensive news app in the store. I give it 5 stars as is - but it would be even better with enhanced grouping options rather always alphabetic by country. Maybe we could have continent (or regional) groupings - that way we could more simply see the sites available regionally. Definately underappreciated in the app store - don't pass it by.

2/5It's Great for Wireless, Stinks for the Rest of Us
I'm sure the App works great, but if you don't have wireless access, don't bother getting it. I wish the product details had been more specific on how the news is downloaded onto your iTouch. I assure you it isn't through the iPod wire that syncs up your pod with iTunes. It only works by downloading via wireless. I hope you iPhone folks enjoy it!

1/5Good program but...
The reason I got this was because I thought I could set it so that it automatically opened all pages in my preferred language. Unfortunately each page requires that you press the button on the upper right hand corner. Then you have to press another button on the top of the page. (don't see how I can create a preference for the language). Anyway, I'd give this 5 stars if it did what I mentioned above. PLEASE fix and I'll happily change my review and my rating. I have a family member who does not speak English and so I got this for her, but as it is she won't be using it. Thanks.

4/5Money
Doesn't have a lot of US papers listed but allows u 2 add any website URL in the app & it's all then nicely organized. Got rid of "Newspapers" app after the developer tried 2 charge me for a new app just 2 make the old one work instead of a free update like everyone else. Thanks again!
