App Description
Courier Secure News Reader ** 2.0 BETA RELEASE **
Courier is a mobile RSS news reader with enhanced security features, automated news gathering, offline reading and news sharing capabilities. We've designed Courier to be fast and light on slow networks, to consume minimal storage if required, and to be private in case your network is monitored. Settings configure Courier for the usage profile you seek.
FEATURES:
* AUTOMATIC: Courier quietly synchronizes your feeds in the background when connectivity is available (manual mode available, too!)
* SOCIAL: Courier lets you share news articles. Optionally share “nearby” with other users of Courier via Bluetooth. Get your friends set up with Courier by sharing the app over a common WiFi network or hotspot.
* LIGHTWEIGHT: Optionally configure Courier to minimize network data use on low-speed networks or sync only on WiFi; optionally configure Courier to minimize the amount of storage your news consumes; optionally configure Courier to avoid syncing media files.
* SECURE: Courier works with Orbot, Tor for Android to defend against network surveillance and protect your privacy
* ENCRYPTED: Courier encrypts your stored news and media to protect your privacy
* FAVORITES: Mark articles as easily-retrieved favorites; share favorites with friends
* PRE-CONFIGURED: Courier ships ready-to-sync desirable international news feeds and it's easy to add your own
* SAFE: Courier securely caches your (optional) password with a configurable timeout. You can configure for repeated password entry failures to trigger data (and app!) deletion. And you can set a special "kill password".
* PANIC: Courier's configurable "panic" action will remove your news and optionally the app itself with one swipe
* LANGUAGES: English, Spanish, Spanish (Latin America)
* AD-FREE: Courier is an ad-free, open-source application
NEW IN VERSION 2:
* FULL-TEXT: Optional full text article retrieval
* PROFILED SETTINGS: Application settings regrouped to simplify management; many new settings added to better control device resource use
* UPDATED USER EXPERIENCE: Improved feed list and article formatting; article age and tags; media management
* FEED FINDER - Search for feeds by keyword (via Google and Feedly search engines) or website name
* EXPORT: Export your feed list to a friend or to another news reader
