Tired of having to change apps to read news from a different source? Fluent Mobile hopes to change all of that with Fluent News, a new iPhone app for aggregating news from across multiple sources. Fluent News is a free app specifically designed to enhance the mobile experience by providing comprehensive yet easy-to-use news spanning multiple topics.
But it doesn't just aggregate RSS feeds. Perhaps the coolest feature of Fluent News is its ability to pick out only a single article on a topic, so you aren't bombarded by the same article from CNN, FoxNews, AP, MSN and every other news source on the planet. You can think of this similar to the way Google News groups together articles on the same subject, and similar to Google News, you can easily get at the full list of articles if you want to see the same story from a particular source, like the New York Times or Washington Post.
You can even send articles to your friends via Facebook, Twitter or email.
Fluent News also has the ability to pre-fetch the articles, so you can have a faster experience. And for iPod Touch users, this means the ability to read news even when you don't have a data connection available.
"Over just the past two years, the mobile industry has seen great advances in device capabilities, bandwidth and the sheer breadth of mobile content. However, browsing the mobile Web can still be an extremely frustrating experience. Fluent Mobile is dedicated to narrowing the experience gap between mobile and desktop Web browsing by optimizing the search, organization and delivery of dynamic mobile content. At the forefront of the news industry's transformation from paper to desktop to mobile, Fluent News is just the first step in our plans to improve the usability of the mobile Web."
--Micah Adler, Fluent Mobile's CEO
Fluent News is free from the app store.
