On the Dexter Side of the Aisle

I have HuffPo, I have the new Drudge app, I have the NYT as well as Le Monde -- and the point here is not to isolate one or the other political viewpoint, but to get all perspectives. Enter this "Conserva" news aggregator app. Certainly a handy concept with good execution.

The apps Home area has smaller icons of the included news organisations, chosen by the developer. For example, Im not a fan of WND at all, so I automatically deleted it in the Settings -- a welcome feature. Nor do I think Politico belongs as a purveyour of conservative news, but itll remain until other sites are added.

I would suggest not limiting media to the US, but including such right-leaning papers as The Telegraph, Figaro, FAZ, etc. into the roster, and if right-wing blogs could be added, so much the better, as traditional media are no longer the first port-of-call for conservatives.

Actually, unless its a feature I havent seen yet, I would just suggest that iPhone owners have the ability to add their own feeds, though I realise the app icons would be a sticky point in presentation if theyre not ready. Perhaps a concept for future updates.

One note about the Drudge section -- its the Lite version of the app. Missing are "Column One" etc. in the full version, but overall, very handy to have so as not to waste space downloading two apps.

Theres room for improvement, but overall, job well done.
