Ratings and Reviews
Tantalising list of supported languages, but!
I wish to improve my Lithuanian and Chinese literacy, but there were no corresponding news feeds I could choose from in your app. I tried to search for the main Lithuanian news outlet via your web search function but even that returned zilch.. I imagine that it’s wonderful for a few other languages but I was very disappointed... :(
Edit: Thank you to the developer who got in touch and added news outlets in the languages I needed. Words are easily translated with a double tap - and makes reading foreign news on iOS so much easier!
Developer Response ,
Hi, yes, realtime news feeds are more recent addition to the app and many languages don't have great coverage yet. I added some Chinese + Lithuanian feeds just now but I don't speak either language so I'm not sure if I'm the one that should be choosing.. Is there a specific publication or two (or three) you're interested in reading? Would be happy to add.
