Pros and cons of News Junkie app for iPhone and iPad

News Junkie app good for

Whoa, this apps a real charm, comprehensive, easy to use and fast loading stories. Interface is clean and slick. Notes for improvement: a way to delete your own bookmarks, an instructions page of sorts, search function for other mobile-friendly sites/sources (in-app browser is fine for regular sites), option to skip splash-screen (I know Im using NJ, thanks).

The only thing I see missing is a way to go full screen when viewing in vertical, and a way to keep it from flipping to horizontal if youre laying in bed, for example. I do like that you can read in landscape mode though... The fact that you cant merge sources into one, giant news feed is my only other interest. But this may be a copyright issue, as these sources are all independent of each other...

I thought I was being ripped off buying an upgraded EZ News, but the all-added features and selection of sources are an improvement. One minor old-guy quibble - Id like an option to keep the instruction screen somewhere on the app once you pick a home page. Please?

Ive downloaded a number of these news site aggregators and this one is one of the best ones. However you REALLY NEED to change the icon - the NJ is ugly and reminds of, god forbid, New Jersey!!!! Please make icon more appealing for the iPhone :)

Love Steve Parkers apps. Customization is great. Just change the frickin icon.

This is my favorite app. The app is great because it allows me to delete papers/magazines I dont want but exceeds others by having - by far - the largest selection. Ive deleted others that purport to do the same thing because if their poor selection and because you have to go to multiple screens to see the selections. I really like interface at the bottom that allows scrolling to your selection. And the ability to add news sources that are individualized is also a great feature.

Some bad moments

The basic concept is great! However, the app suffers from some key problems. 1. The shake for home needs enable/disable. 2. The favorites management needs serious work. I love having access to all these news sources, but I need an intuitive way to quickly access the ones I use regularly. 3. Sharing. MMS, Facebook, Email, etc. Hope to see updates soon!

(1) Menu at bottom makes using any of a websites bottom buttons unusable. (2) Everytime phone is tilted the app asks if u want to make this news feed your homepage. (3) Too much clutter in screen which should be able to be pushed aside.

Good app, but is there a way to disable the "would you like to add as homepage?" I select one (did not want to) yet the popup still occurs while trying to read the news. Disable popup please!!

Pop-up adds are a pain in the @ss and get in the way... Even if you purchase the app as I did. E-mails to the developer go in answered. 1star until the adds are removed!

Cant set home page, intro screen every time is a total beating. No email response from makers. Its worth about .20¢

shake to set default start page does not work, keep shopping for a better app!
