Works. As the title says, this app works. I would have rated it higher if not for the fact it tends to freeze a lot on ICS.

App is okay but its poorly managed Content is constantly tagged to the wrong sections, articles are frequently duplicated and even triplicated within sections, and the latest articles from their website often show up late or not at all. Hire a new editor!
