There will be slight interface differences on an Android phone.
This tutorial will tell you the basic usage of the app using beautiful illustrations.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to summon this tutorial again after I started using the app.
The news items are arranged in lines of sources, and each line contains chronologically ordered articles.
The unread articles are displayed clearer than the read articles.
To refresh individual sources, slide its line to the right and release.
On accelerometer-enabled devices, the layout will adjust itself to the position of your gadget - landscape or portrait.
As with every other app in this social era, Taptu allows users to easily share articles.
you’re able to also fire up the full article in Safari.
Taptu takes a different approach than other mobile news reader in saving articles to be read later.
While others rely on “read later” services like Instapaper, Taptu saves the article within the program.
Taptu optimizes the layout of its app based on the gadget where the app is installed.
This is what the reading view looks like on an iPad screen.
If you are an iPad user, you could add Facebook and Twitter directly from Taptu’s main page.
There are lots of sources on the “Featured” tab that you could choose.
Adding sources is as easy as tapping the “+” button.
Another way to find sources is to browse the categories under “Topics”.
Some of the general topics - like Architecture or Technology, are curated by Taptu.
They are collected from many relevant sources so you don’t have to go through individual sources.
If you are a news junkie like me, you might want to try Taptu.
Some might say that it is not as beautiful as Flipboard, but design is personal taste.
Feature-wise, Taptu is on par with other available alternatives out there.
