Simple yet informative is precisely what one could want from an RSS Reader. That's exactly what Good News offers, and despite a few moments of slowness with the interface, it's quite the ideal solution for those who want to keep track of many different types of information.
Requiring very little setup unless one wants to get involved, Good News is very easy to start using. It comes with a selection of pre-arranged categories covering subjects such as News, Sport, Science, and Technology. Each category includes a bunch of well known sites, proving immediately helpful to those wanting to find out more. Browsing is simply a matter of tapping and swiping, with even the option to listen to such news in different languages if one so wishes. At times Good News is a little sluggish to return to earlier listings, presumably because of not accurately reading one's swipe, but it doesn't disrupt enjoyment too severely.
Covering nearly everything possible that one would expect from an RSS reader and general news portal, Good News is a great app. Its only real quibble is its slight unresponsiveness when trying to swipe back and forth. Other than that, it's an ideal solution for the avid news reader.
