Engadget App Review
Engadget is a well-known and respected technology news website, visited by thousands daily.
Engadget reports all types of tech news and does it well with a large staff of gifted writers.
They are consistent, generally publishing 25-50 articles daily, and are always current in matters of technology.
It came as no surprise that mobile users the world over were ecstatic when an iPhone app became available.
Unfortunately Android users were not among them.
This was shortly thereafter followed by WebOS and Blackberry users being granted an Engadget app.
All while Android users, impatiently waited.
We complained, and they listened.
The Android market was given an Engadget app, and it was worth the wait.
It's fast, robust, and gives user's their favorite content in several different forms.
There are standard articles, podcasts, galleries, and even direct streaming of the Engadget Show.
Everything works quite well, and the interface is slick.
Whether you're within the app or on the homescreen using the excellent widget.
After you enjoy your content you're able to leave a comment for the article, bookmark it or share it with friends and family through facebook, twitter, text messaging, or email.
All of this functionality is wound up in a pretty package with a tag reading FREE.
