The product: Yahoo app is focused on the latest headlines, bringing more personalization to your news feed, quick summaries for easy reading, and good-looking article pages with photo backdrops.
This is not the app you're going to use to check your e-mail or access most of the other services that Yahoo provides, but what the app does well is bring you the latest news in an intuitive layout.
You have the option to view headlines in a clean list if that is your preference, but the app also features a visual view of the news. The clean list is great for quickly scanning headlines, and you can pull down the list to refresh. But by hitting the menu button in the upper left, you can flip a switch to turn the visual news feature on. What results reminded me immediately of the full-screen images in the Google+ app feed, but Yahoo places both the headline and a brief summary of the story over the lead image.
What it offers:
More than just a news app, Yahoo stands out for its customization and search tools.
The advantage:
The latest version of the Yahoo app gives options for both just headlines or visual news. Full-screen images with text overlays look great while you browse.
The unfavorable:
Facebook integration works, but only if you connect your Yahoo and Facebook account before using the app.
The price:
FreeVia
