I have tried many news application from Flipboard, pocket, LinkedIn pulse and even rss applications. But none of them can be as good as this Smart News. I really love the social channel. It is awesome. And also the smart view option is also very good. Fast and very clearly. It is a really really awesome application that you will feel in love with.

It's absolutely useful !!

Good enough, but can be better

The app works well and it's great to have latest news delivered to your phone screen and you're quickly updated with just a glance. But I wish the delivery happens more times every day. Now the news appears on your screen only 3 times a day (morning, noon and evening) and that's maximum. It'd be better if the news is delivered more frequently, like, every 3 or 4 hours, up to your settings. I'd rate the app 5 stars then. Anyway, many thanks to the developers for a smart app.

Im amazed!

スマートニュース+というのがあって、1ヶ月に2回無料で読めるんだけど、間違えてスマートニュース+を押したら勝手に消費されてて1回、0回になるの困る それだったらスマートニュース+を見る時「このスマートニュース+を読みますか?」って表示して欲しい そうすれば誤操作も無くなると思う

もうダメですね
