What's New
- General improvements and bug fixes.
The application has access to the following:
Network communication
full Internet access
Allows an application to create network sockets.
view network state
Allows an application to view the state of all networks.
view Wi-Fi state
Allows an application to view the information about the state of Wi-Fi.
Storage
modify/delete SD card contents
Allows an application to write to the SD card.
Your location
fine (GPS) location
Access fine location sources such as the Global Positioning System on the phone, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.
coarse (network-based) location
Access coarse location sources such as the cellular network database to determine an approximate phone location, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine approximately where you are.
Phone calls
read phone state and identity
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to, ect.
Paid services.
directly call phone numbers
Allows the application to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious applications may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill. Note that this does not allow the application to call emergency numbers.
System tools
disable keylock
Allows an application to disable the keylock and any associated password security. A legitimate example of this is the phone disabling the keylock when receiving an incoming phone call, then re-enabling the keylock when the call is finished.
change network connectivity
Allows an application to change the status of network connectivity.
prevent phone from sleeping
Allows an application to prevent the phone from going to sleep.

Needs tune up For some reason they totally forgot about this app. It's been neglected forever. There are tons of issues but it's been years since update.

Fair and boring I agree it is fair, but the app has a very limited amount of news. Fox you need to do better! (Planning to uninstall.)

Some bugs Good app but some bugs. I've used app for 2 weeks now and 'top stories' doesn't update correctly. Will only show 1 story on home page, the rest will be blank. Also, breaking news is sometimes delayed.

Update doesn't matter - updating isn't what adds the annoying brightly colored ads in the middle of the news feed list nor the lack of stories in Top Stories. I rolled back to a previous version but they're still there. It's in the feed!

Hit or miss Most of the time this app for a "leading news outlet" has at least a couple stories on everything. Or on days like today, the "top story" column only has one story, and it's from yesterday. And yes, I did update.

Do not install/upgrade This version now includes ads. Previous version did not. Ads are in the center of the screen, very annoying! Gaaaa! Wish I could roll back!
