The Huffington Post app review

The Huffington Post

Price: Free

The Huffington Post by HuffingtonPost.com brings the iconic publication to your mobile device.

The Huffington Post is known for its coverage of the news and talked about stories giving you up-to-the-minute details and information. The app was designed to feel lively, engaging, and fun rather than tired and old.

There are a number of different editions including ones for the U.S., Canada, U.K., and France. You'll find coverage on politics, tech, healthy, business, comedy, sports, and books. As well you'll want to check out the opinion pieces, blog posts, breaking news, and photos.

So where this app feels lively and fun is with its social offerings. You're able to easily comment on stories and share your own thoughts and feelings with the readership. As well you can even share stories through the Twitter and Facebook integration.

In this latest version of the app there is now support for the 4" display screen, which means all the stories and images will show up the way they are intended.

Mark stories as favorites, quickly tap on Front Page for the top headlines, or search through the sections. You can also search the content by keyword if you'd rather.

The Huffington Post was updated on Sept. 24, 2012 and currently has 365 customer ratings with an average rating of two out of five stars.

While this app is filled with great content a common complaint among users is the large amount of ads that appear on all the pages making for a cluttered look that dampens the reading experience.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
