Windows Phone Media Rich News App

[NairobiWP]

News reading is an important part of my daily mobility use. I have found that Weave serves this purpose well, but I was wondering whether there are any other apps that I may have missed.

So can anyone suggest a news app that is ;

- media rich (i.e. lovely to look at)
- aggregates news from different sources
- has a constantly updating live tile

I have tried the following but I still keep coming back Weave

Pulse - Not a fan of the ribbons on phones. Works well on Tablets though

Fuse - See above

NewsLab - This app has a lot of potential as it really follows the Metro philosophy. However it is slow to load and has not been updated in quite a while, and I cant find it in the marketplace. Has it been discontinued?


News 360 - I find their new update is actually a step backwards from the previous version.

News Republic - I like their approach on selecting news based on tags. But I feel the app, though moving in the right direction, has some ways to go.

Same here with news (particularly rss) being a part of my must-have apps. So far no news or RSS reader seem to be the best, but give a look at the following:

NewsSpot (ad supported version sync 200 unread articles - Google NewsReader)
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/27ec9e5f-f88a-4caf-bdb4-68d71c962f02

FeedWorm (Google Reader client, and quite good)
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/11ec5786-c29b-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8

FeedReader Free (Google Reader client and custom rss feeds)
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/71840db7-ad93-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8

Weave (free rss reader...very slick...start with this one)

Qik RSS Feeds (looks promising, but doesn't support offline and your own feeds yet - developer says more features coming)
