My Taptu

Man is only 70 per cent water, but this app is 100 per cent news

Homo Sapinews

If you already use Google Reader, you can simply import your feeds by signing into Taptu with your Google account. Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter message feeds can also be added.

Taptu can be set to show content from either predominately British or American news sources which means we Brits can reduce the chances of stumbling across any paranoid rants from Fox News in the aggregated feeds.

Other refinements include a handy shake-to-refresh feature and the option to remove the title bar when your phone flips into landscape. There’s no option to mark all articles as read or hide them rather than change the font shade after reading but that is Taptu’s only failing. ®
