Ratings and reviews

A fully customizable news app where I select and choose what I prefer to view and read. Great for viewing your favorite college newspapers and many others all across the country! Can't wait to utilize the #Fantasy Sports interest tab during the season so all of my research articles are organized to one app!

Sleek and attractive news app that offers simple, non-crowded navigation. I really enjoy their "Interest" feature that allows me to create a focus on articles that I'm interested in. I also like that it has digital content for many university and local papers. Always seems to be expanding their publisher catalog as well.

Really like the look and feel of this app not to mention getting the Daily Bruin on my phone.
