Feedback on my app

[johngummadi]

Guys,

I've recently developed an Android app for Google news (called "Gnews"). Can you please take a look, and give me suggestions on improvements?

If you have anything negative to say, please let me know here than giving bad reviews in Google play-store. That way you give me an opportunity to fix them.

thank you!

John.

Tried it. Nice app - I'll probably keep it. No really negative comments, just questions.

I don't write Android apps, but I notice that if I hover the S Pen over an icon (like yours on the bottom) I get a hint. I don't with yours. Can that be added, so I don't have to hit the icon to see what it's for?

Also (again, I don't know the Android environment, and I don't know how you're getting your articles, but I do know web programming), if I widen an article, it doesn't reflow. I want larger text, but I don't want to have to do a horizontal scroll to read it. Is this due to the pages you're grabbing from being written so badly (web pages should reflow - it's 2014, not 1994), or are you just not allowing reflow on the content you get?

Both - hints and reflow - would really make it a better app.
