App of the Month–Pulse

So many apps out there for subscribing to your news feeds, this one really shines. Say hello to our favorite app for the month of May: Pulse.
Pulse is a reading app that lets you subscribe to, and neatly organize your favorite news feeds and links posted on Facebook by your friends.
Launching Pulse for the first time takes you to an introductory page with tutorials on how to use the app. The application is divided into columns which include different rows of news articles. Each column is a section e.g. Tech, Top News, Social, Business, etc. You have the option to rename the columns and reorganize them. Each row represents a provider e.g. under the Tech Column, you could have rows like Engadget, Gizmodo, etc. Tapping an article opens it up in a full screen view. You can now swipe from right to left or vice versa to read older or newer news respectively.

In reading mode, you also have an option to read the article exactly how it appears on the web just by either tapping on the header, or by tapping on the ‘web’ link like in the android version. The app also lets you share a link to the article you’re reading using Facebook, Twitter, email, or even any other bookmarking app like Instapaper or Evernote.
What make Pulse really shine is the speed with which it loads articles. It loads really fast. Even more interesting is after loading your feeds, and you’re out of an area of reception or for some reason, all of a sudden, you no longer have any data plan/Wi-Fi access on your phone, you can read offline!
Pulse is available on iOS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad) and it’s also on Android. You might wanna head over to the App Store or the Android marketplace to get the app now. And did I mention it’s free?! Yes it is
