Mobile version of the nation’s newspaper is a winner

by Ben Boychuk, Macworld.com

Ever since USA Today first rolled off the presses nearly 30 years ago, critics have derided the Gannett-owned paper as shallow and a superficial publication whose coverage lacked depth, and whose graphics-laden pages merely pandered to a TV-sodden audience conditioned to have the shortest of short-attention spans.

Best news app

Reviewed by malt66

While the actual news content of other apps like NY Times might be more in depth, the usa today APP is far better. It's well organized, has easy to access sections, has cool daily photos and fun polls related to the daily stat shots to vote in. I'd prefer to read a NY Times newspaper, but I far prefer USA Today on the iPhone by far.
