It updates every minute? Is it really worth hammering people's servers so you can read the news < 60 seconds after it's posted?

In some cases time is important factor, for example in financial news. 1 minute is the minimal value, the default refresh is 2 minutes.

No trial. No buy.

No reviews so far. No buy.

Sometimes life is simple, eh? :)

No useful information in review/comment/whatever this is supposed to be... no read this person again.

Yes, very simple.

The "no trial" paradigm of the App Store isn't ideal, but complaining about it getting old. If nobody buys without a trial or review, then there aren't going to ever *be* any reviews, are there. Post your problems with the system somewhere else, rather than adding what feels like a negative comment to a piece of software you admit you've never tried.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
