Pros and cons of Now News  app for iPhone and iPad

Now News  app good for

Nice to see a different news app. Works well. No bugs but I do miss drudge. Hopefully youll have that in 2.0
This is a nifty app. You should consider making one with the bob gossip sites like perez dlisted and tmz.
I love the iPhone, but lets face it, I hate navigating to so many places with the popup keyboard. This really does make it easy to read all the news with just one click. I also like that you included so many sites! Really well done.
Great application. No bugs. Best news app available in the app store - everything at your finger tips.
I have tried several other news apps: News Fuse, News Addict, and iNews and this one is by far better than all those! It is simple enough for me to easily use, but has enough features so that its not just links to sites. Also, the developer has been talking about the future updates that are coming our in the description, and they sound GREAT. I think that some if not all of the bad reviews from this app have come from other developers so that this app doesnt beat them on the top app list!
Well done. I dont have a lot of time to spend checking the daily events. I like the ease of use. I would like to be able to add news sources of my choice for your next version

Some bad moments

Ugh, another news "app", if that is what you want to call it. This is just a sad attempt at a developer trying to steal money from everyone. Total waste!! If I could have given it ZERO STARS, I would have. Should be free AT BEST. In fact, you should pay me to use this app. It is definitely not any better than what is already out there. ON SALE???? Whatever!!!
Great little app, does exactly what it says and gives fast one click access to news sites. Perfect when you want a quick news fix. Simple to use and fast.
No landscape mode, only 5 sources, external links dont work, email article doesnt work. Not sure how there are so many 5 star reviews with all these problems. Developer needs to fix external links asap. Disappointed.
Even when I have wifi and 3g available. If this bug could be worked out I would definitely update my review. I would be happy with the app if it functioned.
Used with an iPhone 3GS, this app, while feature rich and nicely laid out is so slow and laggy for me that I erased it. Touch-click on article or back arrow and nothing happens for seconds... Accidental double clicks or backs navigated me to where I didnt want to be! I think I will stick to "News Addict" instead. This was too much frustration for me - the "bad" outweighed the good. Sorry.
too Cluttered and has a lot of wasted or inffectively used space. Also, people want to choose their news source not be stuck with the 4 or 5 the app gives.
