BBCReader Review
News reader is a second-rate effort for a first-rate media outlet
by Ben Boychuk, Macworld.com
BBCReader from newwaytoseenews bears a passing resemblance to the NYTimes news app (
) for the iPhone and iPod touch. Both apps have similar interfaces—the day’s top stories appear on the first screen, with headlines, short blurbs and small images scrolling down the left-hand side of the screen. Both apps are content-rich, with sections coving a broad spectrum of world news, health, technology, business and entertainment. And both apps are interminably slow to load.
