    Why would I want a separate app for every one of you stupid news-sites? Make a proper site that works well on mobile #WeReDoneHere !android

      @tomasekeli I have a single app for all the major Dutch newspapers/sites - quite handy! !Android

      @marjoleink why? That's like having a separate fridge for every kind of food. !android

      @tomasekeli no it's like a single fridge for all food! the home page is just a menu of all teh news sites !android

      @tomasekeli It's about marketing, not users. Apps get you exposure in an App Store; mobile web site does not

      @marjoleink @tomasekeli What about rss feed readers?

      @marjoleink It's a bunch of apps with no difference but their content - which is already well served be a good website. !android

      @marjoleink making a good website with proper mobile ux would also reach other smart-phones. Makes no sense to make native apps ... !android

      @marjoleink when you're not adding value that you need native capabilities for. It's just senseless dillying. !androi

      @tomasekeli no, it's a single app which is what makes it handy - naturally the content for each site is different, but I can quickly ...

      @samatjain but you want your brand all over, and you can do that with the web. You may get a short boost with an app, but it's ... !android

      @samatjain ... a high price to pay - both in cost and in cluttering up the user's phone. A bookmark on the home-screen does nicely !android

      @tomasekeli ...hop from one to another to compare opinions and reporting. A single website for all together would make no sense...

      @tomasekeli I'm glad we have *different* news sources with different views.

      @vinzv I love rss readers, but not rss readers that only read a single feed. Those are dumb, dumb, dumb. Like VCRs that only play one movie.

      @marjoleink @tomasekeli #google reader app would work for this... work better IF they had an offline mode :\ !Android

      @krikitmedia Offline modes are great, and respect the user's bandwidth and usage patterns. I like them.

      @tomasekeli You're speaking the choir. Again, marketing wins over user experience

      @tomasekeli Also, probably easier from an organization perspective… easier to have separate Android/iOS teams, rather than one big web team

      @tomasekeli agreed. I'm pretty sure offline mode is the main feature people keep asking for in #goodle reader !Android
