Not quite a Pulse substitute (but getting there)
I downloaded Anews like so many others after Pulse was bought by LinkedIn and that app was ruined. Anews is virtually the only reader to allow scrollable rows of news feeds, which is the best thing about it. Unfortunately, its plagued by a few flaws...
• You only get two stories per row, whereas Pulse had 5 or 6. Were not blind, Anews. You can make the text smaller.
• The rows are too tall, limiting how many rows can be seen at a time (again, were not blind--and I want to be able to scan more at a time).
• Theres limited ability to add feeds--many (like those from Gawker) dont show up right, with duplicate entries and old data.
• Along with the above, custom feeds all get lumped into a single "RSS" folder--you cant move feeds into the folders in which they belong (I cant move Jalopnik into Autos, for instance).
I really wanted to like Anews, but it has too many issues to be a true Pulse at this stage. Ill keep it installed and hope for updates. Until then, Ill get by with Feedly (unfortunately).
