Searching for good free news reader app on my smartphone

Hi all,

What is a good news reader app for my Treo 750?

Thanks guys.

Treo Newbie

p.s. I'd like it to be free

Good and free is a tall order I've tried a few, are you looking for something simple and easy to use? I've had some bad experiences...

Hey Gospoo, thanks.

I've tried to read some of my favourite news sites (which I look at on my pc) on my Treo , but they are hard to use on this screen. WAY to much going on.

So yeah simple would be good. Just a nice condensed list of current news.

Any one?

The best one I found, (actually a friend introduced it to me). It's called Pocket Express. If you do some searching you will find it. I tried to post the link but since I am new I need to post some more before I have the rights to post links. I think the maker is Handmark. Best part is it's free.

Here is a clue to a link, since I can't post the link.

I use Pocket Express by Handmark for stocks and news on my ATT tilt. I have been using it for sometime and love the ease of use!!

Thanks guys for that link. I have been using Pocket Express for the last few days and it's been great. Not only did it have the news reader I was looking for, it has weather, stocks, sports, maps, ringtones, games and other stuff I haven't even had time to look at yet!

I've been looking for a lot of these features but I didn't think I would be able to get them all in one piece of software. But with Pocket Express it's all there.

I really like the blog you get with Pocket Express called Red's Blog. It's great.

Anyway sorry for gushing so much, but this software has improved my mobile experience so much, I have to thank you for showing it to me.

Any one reading this can download it here:

Did anyone read the post on Red about the new college football season? Good reading, check it out here, or get pocket express and read it on right on your phone!

I've been using pocket express on my att phone for awhile but I just now discovered that I've been using only half the app. On the left side are a couple of tabs. One is "page one" where I've always spent my time, but the other is called "extras." Although these are mostly paid experiences, There are some pretty good ones worth perusing.

Hey Cornelial,

Thanks for pointing that out. I use extras quite a bit to download games. They have some pretty fun ones on there, they also offer ringtones, but I never bother with that. But I'm sure that other people would be really interest in this.

One of the best features is that if you download a game and then want to free up some space. You can delete it and Pocket Express remembers that you have purchase it. So you can download it again whenever you want. Pretty cool

Looks like you use pocket express quite a bit. I have never bought tickets on my phone. But I think you can buy it through Pocket Express. Do you have any experience buying tickets? Do they bill you outright through credit card or will they charge it to your phone bill?

If it's the phone bill, that would be pretty cool

Hi PrakashC,

It gets charged to your credit card, but I don't think is such a bad thing as I think having separate expenses is easier in terms of accounting.

Benefits that you do get from purchasing tickets through Pocket Express are
1) It remembers your details so you don't have to struggle with entering credit card data all the time on your handset
2) You have access to all the movie details at your finger tips. Any time any place.
3) You can book your ticket on the run.

Thanks Hteahen:
That's interesting. I am going to give Pocket Express a shot to buy tickets. Plus I get free protection from my Credit Card company that will protect me if something goes wrong.

Thanks once again!!

Yes you won't be sorry. Nothing will go wrong I'm sure. Also be sure to check out Burn After Reading soon. I think that movie looks awesome

Pocket Express has so many features I am just discovering now. They have a great travel section which has an impressive array of information that would be useful to any traveler. Airline contact numbers and the ability to check your flight status.

The feature I love the most though, is the currency converter, it's so handy to have - pity the weak dollar means the number in US dollars is getting bigger and bigger each year.

I just had some first hand experience with the Pocket Express download issue. I had purchased Astraware solitaire and today I deleted it by accident. I was able to download it again without too much trouble and without charge. Pretty sweet, especially because there sometimes isn't enough disk space on wireless phones.
