If you do not trust one or more of these sites this plugin could be considered a security risk. Additionally, the plugin will transform directly embedded videos (object/embed tags) from those sites to iframes so they can be shown as well. This plugins allows the inclusion of iframes from the above listed sites without the sandbox attribute to enable flash videos. If you are missing a site in this list, please open a ticket.

Symbian users can download NewsFlow for free from the Ovi Store. Meanwhile, power users will appreciate the greater amount (or clutter) of bells and whistles, offered in Google Reader, to aid processing large volumes of news. NewsFlow offers a clean user interface for simply reading content. Looking at the inevitable comparison between NewsFlow and Google Reader's mobile site, there is one key differentiator. It's certainly worth trying out if you find the Google Reader mobile site too cumbersome for reading content. Overall, NewsFlow works fine for viewing the latest news posts in your Google Reader. The text is in a bold font which helps visibility and text size should only be a problem to those with ageing eyesight. However, there is no resizing control, which means images can get clipped by the screen width, and you're out of luck if the text is too small for your eyes to make out. Regardless, NewsFlow displays as much content as is available, including images.

This obviously works best with sites who publish their full posts via RSS. Viewing posts in NewsFlow is a pleasant user experience, especially with the silky smooth kinetic scrolling, in both portrait and landscape mode. When they were tapped, Web was launched with a blank page, rather than a sharing page from the respective social network. However, during testing for this review, the sharing links to Facebook and Twitter would not work. I would have liked to have seen some sort of text prediction for tags though (based on existing tags), as offered in Google's HTML5 Reader mobile website.Īs shown in Rafe's video, launching Web to view a post works fine, and is only limited by Web's capabilities. The native Google Reader functions worked well. Posts can be starred, viewed in Web, tagged, kept unread and shared via Facebook or Twitter. When viewing a single post, there is an 'Up' button, which when tapped brings up a toolbar of actions for the current post. Viewing the subscription lists and one of the posts lists While viewing an individual post, the back button remains, and is accompanied by forward and back buttons, which allow for navigating between posts without backtracking to the list. NewsFlow lacks a 'Mark all as read' button, which is a sanity saving feature I particularly missed. For post lists, there is a back button and a refresh button. There are various context sensitive buttons which float at the bottom of the screen, depending on what level of content is shown.

The 'Settings' page, also linked from the application's front page, currently has just one setting, to toggle the application's theme.

It is worth pointing out that even the official Reader application for Android neglects to include this too. One view that power users may miss here is the Notes view.

The initial page gives you a list of links to all the standard Google Reader views: All items, Unread Items, Starred Items, Subscriptions, and Tags. Something that is perhaps missing from other Symbian applications when compared to competing platforms. Having each subsequent view slide onto screen gives the app a refreshing sense of class. The best aesthetic feature is surely the transitions. Let's start with a quick video look, by Rafe, so you can see NewsFlow in action.Īs you'll have seen in the video, NewsFlow has a very clean and slick user interface.
