In the field of informational apps, we can find two great families: On the one hand, those developed by the media themselves, whether written or audiovisual, that try to blur the existing barriers between the two and offer a more immersive experience to the public, and for on the other hand, those that seek to bring together a large catalog of magazines and newspapers from around the world whose aim, at first glance, is to ensure that the public is as informed as possible of what is happening in their environment and in the rest of the world.
Among the options available for our tablets and smartphones, we find examples such as NewsTab, of which we will give you more details below and that, with the same characteristics as others that we have presented previously, also intends to become a benchmark within informational applications. Will you be ready to reach the top?
Operation
As we reminded you a few lines ago, NewsTab allows us, in theory, to visualize the magazine articles and other types of publications from more than a hundred countries around the world. Syncing with Google News , which is no longer present in Spain, another of its strengths is the establishment of a series of filters to exclusively receive all the news from the fields in which we are most interested.
Driving
Its developers boast of a simple control through a very simple interface that shows illustrations of all the press housed in the application's catalog. Is optimized both for Android tablets and smartphones and for larger platforms and the social network component also stands out, since through it, we can search for the most important information trends of the moment through platforms such as Twitter. It has an offline mode and hosts some podcasts and news in audiovisual format.
Free?
NewsTab, like its sisters of the genre, has no no initial cost. Updated a few days, its creators claim to have corrected some bugs that caused unexpected shutdowns. It has received positive evaluations for other aspects such as the variety of languages of the publications available to users. However, it has also been the subject of some criticism for facts such as the existence of a version whose menus are only in English.
Do you think that with apps like this, the way in which millions of users get informed on a daily basis is changing at a faster rate? Do you think that there are more complete tools that solve existing barriers in NewsTab? You have more information available on other similar ones such as Flipps so that you can give your own opinion.
