If you are a newspaper freak, and you simply have to read every single newspaper that comes out in your town then this is the perfect app for you. But why stop at your town, why not the country, and when we are at that, why not the world? -This app has it all. PressReader is an iPhone and iPad app from NewsPaper Direct Inc. that lets you buy and read daily newspapers from around the world in full PDF format. Think of it as a TiVo for newspapers. You can find and instantly download over 1,500 newspapers from 90 countries and 47 languages. The newspapers cost about 99 cents per issue, and there is also an option to subscribe to the newspapers of your choice to have them delivered to you automatically. When you get started with the PressReader app you get your first 7 issues for free, which is a great way to try out the features of the app. The app has 4 tabs: 1) My Library where you have a list of all the publications you’ve purchased. Tap “Select Title” to browse papers by Country or by Language. Unfortunately United States is all the way on the bottom of the list, so you have to scroll down each time. Another great feature in PressReader is its ability to store you older newspapers. You can’t do text based searches on the content of your newspapers. 2) Top Stories - lists an RSS feed reader style list of the headlines from various publications. Tap any headline to read the full story. 3) Search - here is where you can find stories by keyword, and narrow them down by language and newspapers. The search results here again have the very slow to respond web based experience, like the Top Stories section. 4) Settings - this is where you enter your PressDisplay account information and authorize yourself for downloads after your 7 free issues have been completed. So now you can stay informed everywhere you go without tripping over the papers around you.
Lately I’ve been trying to reflexively dismiss single-source news apps, since they’re usually not much more than a repackaged mobile site. CNN’s Mobile, with push, VOD and live newscasts, is much, much more—but don’t expect to get it for free, since anything for having requires a certain amount of money out of your pocket. This application’s text content is interestingly formated into swipeable panels, which are then organised into categories. It also allows you to save your favrite stories for a further offline reading, and select your most interesting subjects so you can create personalized news feeds from CNN’s stories. If you’re particularly reportorial, there’s also a panel for iReport submissions—3GS users can upload video, and everyone can upload stories and photos.The newsreading and reporting functions look fine, but he app doesn’t really start to shine until it starts to stream: Video is available in both VOD and live flavors, the first of which is organized in a catalog, and the second of which jumps in and out of service at the whim of CNN. Here’s the theory: Users sit tight with their text content and old clips of Anderson Cooper interviewing panda cubs, or whatever he does, until NEWS BREAKS: Anderson has been mauled by mother panda. This is huge. You get a push notification that says, “Hey, CNN’s live right now,” which means that the station’s content is streamed over Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE. And, you watch. This is mainly everything you need to know about this app, and how it works. The rest is really up to you, but I you wanted my oppinion, then I definitely reccomend this.
