Bringing the news

While some websites take a nice layout, it'southward convenient to bring all the news you'd like to read into i identify. Newsflow takes whatever RSS feeds you give it and organizes them in an easy-to-use interface. You tin can hop betwixt sources or browse from story to story. On the feature side, you can mark articles equally favorites, sync Newsflow between devices, and get notifications for news.

Where Newsflow goes beyond just presenting news from websites is in its back up of offline reading. You can download all the news you'd like to read and store it locally. This is dandy for if you commute on a train or subway that doesn't have service or if you're on a plane and dont desire to pay for WiFi. Similar to podcast players, Newsflow tin can download the content you desire when y'all have a connection and then gives y'all the flexiblity to have it anywhere.

Newsflow also supports YouTube and HTML video playback direct within the app and so you won't have to switch to your browser or some other app fifty-fifty if an article has an embedded video.

Bringing the look

News apps and RSS readers are aplenty in the Microsoft Store. While they don't all have the exact same characteristic set, many of them are close plenty that appearances become a bigger factor. Personally, I like the await of Newsflow with its round icons, acrylic backgrounds, and other Fluent Blueprint elements. The developers accept done a great job of bringing the mod look to their app and it's easy on the eyes.

While liking the design of an app is suggestive, I remember Newsflow is one of the better looking apps in the Microsoft Shop. It has a clean design that uses just plenty transparency to expect good without making entire windows transparent. Some apps just throw acrylic furnishings all over an app and information technology gets in the way of reading. Thankfully, this isn't the case with Newsflow.

Overall thoughts

Newsflow features an attractive blueprint which became fifty-fifty better thanks to its recent update. The app'south choice to download content makes it easy to brings news stories with you lot where you don't take the web. Other lilliputian features such every bit search, categories, cantankerous-device syncing and news notifications round out an impressive app that'south easy to employ.

The only real downside is that Newsflow tin can't work with Feedly or other RSS aggregator services; you lot have to enter in all of your sources manually. You besides can't sync across platforms such as iOS and Android. There is a paid extension that's in preview that allows this so it seems like it will be available to everyone in a not-preview version somewhen.

Newsflow was already a skilful app for keeping upwardly to engagement with the latest news simply the Fluent Design implimentation, including an first-class utilise of the reveal effect, pushes it to another level.
