FLUD, a news app previously only available for the iPad, is now available for the iPhone. The free app hit the App Store yesterday and features a revised interface to suit the device’s smaller screen.
Using feeds to derive content, the app can display the latest from up to 25 sites at once presented in scrollable virtual “cards”. The app comes pre-loaded with the feeds of several popular sites and also offers a “love” feature to mark news items, which in turn influences articles highlighted for other FLUD users.
It’s Free and you can download it here
