News Junkie App Reviews

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.

An iPhone App which allows one to consolidate dozens of news sources! A great concept. My phone has an entire page devoted to news sources, and the ability to remove several of these and replace these news Apps with News Junkie is a very attractive proposition. But News Junkie needs some work. 1. The "shake" function to set the home page cannot be enabled or disabled. The slightest movement, like resting on the seat of my car while driving, sets off the shake, which means the app is perpetually asking me to set the home page! This is enough of an annoyance that I will be removing this app until the feature is fixed. 2. Most users (including this one) will not want all 47 news sources cluttering the bottom of the app. However the "delete" icon function is clunky at best: many of the icons are unrecognizable until one opens up ths news source, one at a time. And after each deletion event, the icons scroll automatically to the leftmost. Cludgy. Bottom line: an iPhone App with tons of potential. A few improvements will earn this app 4* to 5* in no time.

This app has great potential. Its great but can improve. First the shake function for setting the default home page should allow the user to disable it. Also, it runs a little slow. Finally, the app would be perfect if included a feature that allows the user to share an article by posting it in Twitter, Facebook or via email. I hope its in the next release.

This is the best of the news sites. It has all the major players--ABC, CNN--and the major web players--HuffPo (Arianna Huffingtons site), Lipman Times (the daily site for all Obama news), etc. as well as regional papers. 61 sites

Love the app with two exceptions: 1. Ive been waiting for full screen in portrait mode for six months! That gives new meaning to "coming soon. " 2. The icon still needs some work. Needs to include a newspaper or something that visualizes the purpose of the app.

news junkie reminded me alot of my news fuse, but cleaner and easier to navigate. More than ample selection and cleanly done. Ability to add your own link to a site not there is nice as well. Great app if yourre a news junkie!

A MUST BUY APP!!!! IT WORKS FLAWLESSLYY! :D BUY BUY BUY!

You want news, you got news. And the UI is very intuitive. Take a look at this before you settle on something else.

This app is a great news app i like the setup and having all the news sites in one place it would be nice to be able to set up push notificationsbfor certain sites but might not be posible, overall i really like this app.

A great news app that has all the great news sources in one place!!

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!

perfect.....just wish it is quicker....cz i need the news......when my mom wants to know wat happens,she yells for me.....and she wants it the second she asks.....so......MAKE IT QUICKER

I love this app. I would make two suggestions. The amazingly available Sliding News Sources Tap Disappear/Tap Appear when you tap on the screen so that you have more real estate devoted to reading the chosen publication/article. Finally, this terrific app has a pretty humble icon. Can we get a better icon in the next update? Please?

If you dont find a feed you want you can add it!

(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.
