INTERNET
Shows you the latest news headlines in a compact widget on the Android home screen, and includes a headline and article viewer.

Version 2.5.3:

Crash fixes. Keep emailing me those reports; reliability is my #1 priority.
Fixed aspect ratio on thumbnails.
Smaller binary (about 125K smaller).
It's nice to have news thats not edited but the US Government!

I really like this app, BUT why does it load in background all the time using memory? What's it doing in bg? How do I stop it doing this?

Does what it says on the package as long as you don't tamper with its settings. If you do will continually sap processor power, demanded 59% cpu usage

Great app for when you're bored and need something to read. Would be 5 stars of there was a setting to just have it display, for example, sports only
Liam
Wed, Nov 17 13:00:00 UTC 2010
Just ok. Often closes by itself while reading articles, clicking the stories in the alerts doesn't open the story referenced

If it could recognise video articles and not show them, then I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise awesome job.

it's okay but seems to randomly start up without my knowledge so uninstalled
Andrew
Sun, Nov 14 11:17:00 UTC 2010
It's great but it starts with the phone and drains the battery. I would rather just visit the site from my phone.
Stephen
Sun, Nov 14 01:32:00 UTC 2010
Very laggy start: laggy scroll and first article loads after 1 minute of blank white screen.
