You can switch the feature off in preferences.Ī better RSS reader is Mayor Justin’s Manifesto. The more feeds you have, the slower this is to load-and, indeed, the app crashed on me more than once. The feature doesn’t add much-the publication names get cut off, and any graphics just slow down the app. The app’s “fancy screen” feature is a more simplistic version of Newsstand’s ( ) design, with simulated front pages of each feed. (Ironically, the only place iNews gives you the option to navigate back up a previous item is in the trash menu.) The developers advertise all of this as a plus, but it’s an awfully presumptuous and inconvenient way to manage feeds. To flag a story, you need to add it as “favorite.” The item is then moved into its own menu. You can refer to the item again, but you need to exit what you’re reading, return to the home screen, tap the trash menu and hunt down the story. Once you’ve read it, the item goes straight into the trash. The app from gdiplus lets you tap an arrow to read the next story, but won’t let you read a previous item. INews (not to be confused with iNewz ) has some interesting features, but one fatal and confusing flaw. But publication names are cut off, and the included graphics slow down the app. Headline News: iNews’ fancy screen features simulated front pages.
