AP Mobile is fine for me. I don't care if the push works that well.

Fireproof!

Jul 11, 2009, 03:32 PM

USA Today and Wall Street Journal.

msnbc.com and B World.

Looking forward to CNN's app, hopefully it has offline cache and all the articles featured on CNN's mobile site.

Safari is an APP?

For me it is my local news app. 9WSYR, has all my local news and weather as well as national news.

I like AP Mobile, other then the Push alerts that don't like to the story. That's my fav for news.

Bylines.

There is no comparison. I get all the news that I want on my iPhone.

I have tried several and I keep going back to it.

Another vote for Bylines, it's outstanding, and I believe it's on sale right now.

Google News page bookmarked as a home screen icon.

Check it at least 5 times a day, along with gizmodo/engadget/macrumors of course =)

News Fuse (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=313925120&mt=8) for me. I gave up so many of them. My only needs are Full Screen, No Banners, No Ads and multiple sources. News Fuse (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=313925120&mt=8) has all that. I think 36 total news sources now with the last update. No lag either. I can't say enough good things about it. Switching sources is also iPhone like when swiping. I am not affiliated with it in any way.
after downloadin this now, i have to agree with you

currently this is the best app on my iphone

is like havin all the news apps all roll in to one
I deleted AP,usa,huffinton & newyork times from my phone

cause news fuse has all these plus more

I know it cost money $0.99 but trust me guys its worth it

and the GUI for all the news companys looks the same as there own

like the AP news GUI on the news fuse app looks and fuctions the same as in the Official AP mobile app and allt he others too, I can get my local news in news fuses AP source news

I was frustrated with all the news apps because they plaster advertising on the screen and many don't allow you to email news links to your friends. So I wrote my own news links webpage. Please try it and let me know what you think. It's at iFastNews com

Nice gateway to iPhone formatted news sites and easy to get back to the main menu listing.

I don't know about all the others, but I use NewsFuse and it does the job for me :)

WSJ for me. AP got on my nerves with the poor push and mediocre layout. WSJ is classy IMHO.

Does Fluent News never stop accessing the Internet? The download spinning circle is constantly blinking on and off. It seems a definite drain on the battery.

I've just noticed it doing that today. Maybe one of the sites it fetches is slow? It's usually fast and stops accessing the Internet in no more than a minute 30-60s.

New York Times app. It's the only app that has got it right. The only weaknesses are a small advert at the bottom (which I can live with because it's free) and lack of video. The design of the app is flawless and it's much faster than it used to be.

The WSJ and Huff Post app are nice but there is something not right about the fonts/size and it's not as clean as NYT. The WSJ has a tendency to hang when uploading new stories.

Your right I forgot to mention that. The App retains the same format as the others like USA Today NYT's etc. It just makes sense to have them all in one App.

It's a great App.

Another thumbs up for Fluent News. I've tried most of the others, and this just blows them away. It has enabled me to delete most of my other news apps.

Thanks for the tip. Just bought it and set up a bunch of stuff on my Google Reader account. Man, I frakkin love Google. Man, I frakkin love my iPhone. Can you say buh-bye AP Mobile?

Another vote for NewsFuse. Simply fantastic. I bought it this morning and tonight deleted the USATODAY app from my phone as it's redundant. The only thing keeping AP on my phone is push. If someone else does Push better, it's gone.

The best purchase I've made on the App store in a LONG time.
