Fluent News Reader (Free)
Version 1.3
REVIEW – “A great little app for quickly finding all the news you want to read.”
This is one of the first apps for news that I have ever downloaded for my phone and the reason for that is because I am very picky. I want to know what is important in the papers I like in moments and I hate being bogged down by things that I don’t want to see or read. Fluent News Reader does all of that for me and it quick and simple to use. 
When you first open the app you are given a quick shot of a bunch of different news stories that are happening at the moment. If you are looking for something specific you can click sections and have access to all the different areas of news to make sure you get the news you want to read.
One of the features that I enjoy is the fact that in settings I can modify how often articles from certain newspapers show up, this helps me choose which newspapers I like best and not have to sort through newspapers I don’t.
If you start reading an article and do not have time to finish it you can easily save it and read it later. Saved articles are easy to access from the saved tab.
There is also a search function in case you want to read up on a specific event. This is handy and seems to work rather well.
Now since it is free you do have to contend with some ads but I did not find these to be much of a bother or a distraction.
This is a great app for everyone because you can zoom in the text to make sure it is large enough for you anyone to read.I also like that once you have read an article if fades it so that you can tell which ones you have read through and which ones you haven’t.
I also loved the fact that it was so easy to share articles I liked and found interesting via Twitter and Facebook. I have not found other apps that work so well for me to do this with so much versatility with newspapers.
Of course there are some downsides in that it does have all the bells and whistles as some apps but considering it is free and does not have subscription fee to use it’s basic features, I am fine with that.
