" It was hard to find any issues with PaperBoy's UI, usability or content delivery. The app provides a simple way to browse the top headlines from your favorite news sources, and -- probably best of all -- doesn't get caught up trying to offer too much. The app is free in the Play Store, so it's hard not to recommend that you go give it a try. "

When I load it, no feeds load. If I click the arrow on the left, no sources appear.

Been a Pulse user for over a year, tried this after I saw an Android Central review & it's pretty good! Streamlined design makes it easy to navigate

So, I have to sign in to read other feeds as I'm trying to decide whether or not I like the app? No thank you. Uninstalled.

There should be a setting to control the speed the article is displayed on the lockscreen in JB. And why does it require permission to see what apps I have on my device or which apps are running? That's why I have refused to update the version I'm using.

Developer is very good at responding to comments and suggestions. This app is getting better with frequent updates.

Nice feel, but gets my Google account. Does not then load up my feeds from Reader. Also if I have read all the articles take me to the next feed, not round in a circle.
