Keep your Finger on the Pulse with … Pulse!

Written by Kath Thoresen
Blog, Business Resource Apps, slider Comments are off

PulseI tried the Pulse App this week, touted as the App to manage all your mobile reading  and I must say I was very impressed.

A quick download was followed by an intuitive set up of categories and publications that I read regularly via different Apps or through a browser, I really do have everything in one App now!

I loved the lay out which was eerily similar to the BBC News App, but hey if something works!

Screen shot of my iPhone showing the scrolling categories at the top to find publicaitons.

The top of the screen features a slider with the Pulse categories for publications making it easy to find and discover reading material. When you choose a publication it asks you what category you would like to store it under so you can get really specific and are not stuck with the categories loaded.

There is a save for later feature to enable you to read later on a tablet when you are away from your wifi connection. All in all a great App that has truly impressed in the short time I have had it.

Currently available for Apple and Android.

See the App in iTunes

See the App on Google Play

Some articles send you off to another site which was a bit tedious but all in all a great App which I will not be deleting after my review!
