by: | posted 04.26.12 | Apps, News, Videos

Taptu for Android has received an update in the Play Store. Users can now set up streams on any device by using a social network or Google account instead of having to register with Taptu, which makes sharing and reading great content on multiple devices a whole lot easier. It has also been given a lovely UI make over which looks pretty hot on devices running Ice Cream Sandwich. Included in the update are some new widgets to help fill out your homescreens in case you had troubles already doing so.

There is an excellent selection of news readers on the Android Market. FLUD is yet another awesome choice, proving that you can never have enough of a good thing. FLUD brings excellent integration with your Twitter, Google Reader account, and any RSS feed from the web. It has a beautiful UI, with an easy swipe through feed that is super easy to set up. 

Taptu Updated with Tablet Support

by: | posted 05.05.11 | Apps, News

We’re finally starting to see full tablet support on an abundance of apps these days, and Taptu is one of them.  Rebuilt from the ground up with Honeycomb in mind, this is picture-styled news reader which will remind you of Pulse, except that it has unique features like the ability to import up to 100 feeds from your Google Reader account.  They also tossed in the ability to add multiple Twitter accounts, which is something the iOS version can’t even accomplish.

The rest of the goodies in this release:

  • Themes: Change the color theme from dark text on a white background to white text on a background for better reading day or night.
  • Full screen reading: Read articles in fullscreen instead of a tabbed look.
  • Instapaper support: Don’t have time to read it now? Send it to your Instapaper account to read it later.
