FLUD iPhone Newsreader App

I do quite a bit of news grazing via iPhone. It seems to me to be an almost ideal function of the phone. We shall see of the iPad is better. My current favorite is Pulse. I like the interface, and how it let's me share RSS Fed articles coherently.

Ironically, one of my feeds mentioned FLUD, and the writer proclaimed it equivalent to Pulse. I immediately downloaded it.


FLUD does sport an interface that is clean, graphic, logical and, well, iPhone worthy. Since an RSS feed is an RSS feed, interface is a big deal. So is speed. FLUD is as good as my connection. Important to me is sharing. FLUD has the functions i want- Twitter, Facebook, E-mail.  But the blogpost resulting from an email seems just OK when compared to the look of a Pulse emailed blogpost.

What bugs me about FLUB is stability. When I go to an article and then hit the back button, after several breathtaking seconds either I am returned back to the previous page, or the app crashes. Is this a FLUB?  I will give it a few days to see.
