14 DAY TRIAL // Owners of Android-based devices can now download and install a new reader application on their smartphones and tablet PCs, namely Digg.
The software has been designed to keep users up to date with the latest posts on the Digg homepage, just as the web version does.
Furthermore, it comes with integrated Digg Reader, as well as with a variety of optimizations for Android devices, so as to deliver an appealing user experience.
The app provides users with the possibility to easily search Digg Top Stories, and also enables users to easily post their diggs to their Facebook timeline.
Digg Reader for Android, a real-time reading app, enables users to easily find and follow favorite online publishers, writers, and bloggers, and share stories to a great deal of social networking sites.
Some of the main features of the application include:
- Quickly swipe back and forth through Digg’s Top Stories, as well as through any feed or folder in Digg Reader. Choose from either the web view or the parsed text view.
- Digg or save any story; send it to Instapaper, Pocket or Readability (automatically upon save, if you choose); and share to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Tumblr, WordPress, Buffer, Dropbox, Google Drive, email, text or any other sharable app on your device.
- Sort your Digg Reader items by popularity to quickly see which of your items are the most talked-about on the social web.
Furthermore, the Digg Reader enables owners of Android devices to log in with their Google, Facebook, or Twitter accounts, while also offering them the possibility to easily search and add new feeds, create and delete folders, and other management features.
“This is our first Android release, and we’ll be updating and improving it steadily over the next few months,” Digg notes in a blog post.
“There are a few missing features we’re still testing such as a ‘Show Only Unread Items’ view, text size and display mode options, and background updating. You’ll see those added shortly, along with other new and bewitching features.”
You can download Digg for Android from Softpedia today, completely free.
