J Ebbing (ID: 0000009daa37dfcd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/03/2014 Doesn't work, keep reloading the content every 3 seconds.

Brannon Boman (ID: 0000006739bf3523) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2014 Great, just what I was looking for.

Alexander Krasnitsky (ID: 000000eb83da4207) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/21/2013 Exactly what I've been looking for, BUT certain things do not work: 1. can't scroll or see any of the top/tittle stories except the first one. 2. most of the time can't click on all or sometimes just the first of the stories just appear bellow the top/title/headline stories. If you could fix, would be a great app!

Danylo Hordiyevych (ID: 00000082d1c8f816) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/30/2013 Good app, really useful but would like higher resolution icons at the bottom. That might just be the default for slow connections like mine, but on a 1080p display it looks slightly pixelated.

Joe Leasure (ID: 000000bb7f33ee83) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/23/2013 Awesome. Exactly what I wanted.
