Pro Customizable themes
Light and dark themes are available to accommodate users in high or low light environments.
Pro Readability support
Press is compatible with Readability; a service that stores online articles for reading later.
Pro Great widget
Press has a widget available for easier reading.
Pro Beautiful UI design
Great look and feel to the app as you swipe though stories or scroll down on a headline to read more details. Most stories come with custom designed graphs tailored for the story.
Pro Great for a casual reader of the News
Rather than give you full articles, the app creates "Atoms". It's a short summary of the news event, generated from a variety of different sources.
It provides infographs, images, videos and more to help you quickly understand the news event. This means you are able to read through all of the news stories in minutes.
Pro Only shows top few stories
Hard to get lost in reading news when you only get 8-12 stories at a time.
Cons
Con Unreliable after being installed a while
After about a week, this app stops working as intended. Features like syncing and caching are the most common features to break.
Con Lack of updates may cause compatibility issues
The last update to the Google Play Store was January 2014. It looks like it's been abandoned, so will likely have increasing issues with bugs and compatibility concerns with newer Android versions.
Con Android only
You are limited to only using the app on an Android device.
Con No customization of news headlines or categories
You only get the top 8-10 headlines of the day regardless of news category or source.
Con Meager sharing options
You can share any article in the digest, but it doesn't give many options for tailoring the message that is sent.
