The Fifth is the one place for all your news.

Read up to date news straight from the tile, even when offline; From the tile shows the headline articles making navigation easy. The Fifth automatically updates and syncs to your other devices, making it the one place for all your news needs.

The Fifth is under rapid development, and has received at least 1 update a month since October last year. A new version has just passed certification and is on the store.

You can try it for free here: The Fifth app for Windows in the Windows Store

I would love to get any feedback you guys have.

Lol, no intended connection between any of those. I started developing and called it The First as a placeholder until I could think of something. I decided to go in a different direction so I threw everything out and started again with The Second. Long story short The Fifth just sort of stuck.

A new version which completely overhauls search and adding subscriptions is heading into the final stages of development, would anyone be interested in giving the beta a whirl?
Here's a sneak peak.
