mtu9356 on 20 March 2013

For gaming related news/articles I have 3 apps and 1 bookmark on my smartphone.

IGN (used to be bookmarked)

Gamespot (used to be bookmarked)

NEWSoDROME

and of course I have this site bookmarked, kinda difficult to use unfortunately :(

Im interested in what others use?  Or do u not use any?

Toucharcade is the least worst mobile game site/app out there. Actually, the app is pretty good on phone, pretty stupid on iPad.

IGN has the distinction of being the single worst app I ever installed on my iPad. They literally just took their (already feeble) phone app and stretched out the formatting to a ten-inch screen. Maybe it's better now, but IGN is just too easy to give up on entirely at this point.

Hardly surprising. 95% of gaming web sites are worthless. Few of them know how to put together a half-decent web page, how can they be expected to make a decent app?

Other than TouchArcade, the closest thing I have to a gaming news app is Tweetbot and a subscription to Polygon's twitter feed.

Yea I found numerous bugs/glitches on my ign app.  I'm thinking of just using a bookmark for it instead lol.  Same problem with gamespot's app, its not much better.
Haven't had any problems with NEWSoDROME, but all it really does is compile stories from other websites.
I'll check out Toucharcade.
