Frontpages is a worldwide newspaper browser. You’re presented some default newspapers on retro wooden shelves but if you want something more obscure(like a local newspaper), just hit the search tab and you can browse(or search) through hundreds and hundreds of newspapers.
Once you like a newspaper you can ‘bookmark’ it and then it will be on your shelve when you first open the application. Selecting a paper will show you the front page of the paper. You can’t read anything while it’s zoomed out so you have to use the multi-touch to zoom in.
I had a couple of issues with this application – It can be difficult to read(even when zoomed all the way in) – It switches back to ‘shelve view’ if I don’t zoom in and let both fingers go at the same time(since one touch switches it)
Other than that I thought it was very cool to have access to all of those newspapers. . .even though you only get the front page of them.
Good idea but its very hard to read when zoomed in. If they fix the zoomed in view it would be great app
