Best News app with videos - Nook Color Themes and Apps

I have CBS news app working nicely on cm7 from sd. Can't get MSNBC app to work constantly force closes. The ABC app works but videos play for only a minute or two and then shuts down. I am a news junkie and love news videos. Anybody got those apps to work or can recommend another good news app with videos?

you may want to check out world newspaper and taptu. world newspaper does have videos. taptu doesn't have videos but is great for mixing and matching news and magazines. and pulse is also pretty cool.
Taptu:

Pulse:

World Newspaper:

I am more interested in content with videos like msnbc. Anybody get that working on cm7?

as far as i know there isnt any app for this , but u can always use the android browser and watch streaming from a website u use.
i do the same thing and i watch matches on full screen live streaming through the web browser, works flawlessly but eats battery and data so be careful about that.
cheers
You cann try Ustream beta app on the market

Playing videos from news apps CBS MSNBC

I have CBS and MSNBC news apps installed. I get a message saying "cannot play this video" when trying to open any video from either app. I don't know what the formats are for these videos or what internal player is trying to open these videos. I have numerous video players installed on my phone and everything works fine except for these links. Anyone have any ideas where to look? Thanks

I fixed it by making the built in player the default video player and now they work!

ah... it displays customerized news feed including updates from one's Facebook twitter etc in a very user-friendly 'magzine' way.
Pulse is sorta like flipboard

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:
Feedly
Newsr
News360 (still in Beta but quickly getting better)
Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

the same, hope it will be available for android soon.
Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

These are some of my favorites
Quickpic - can't believe nobody's mentioned this since the stock gallery is horrible
Grocery IQ - autosync with spouses phone so when you add or delete from the list, it shows up on the other person's phone within a couple of minutes of opening the app.
Handcent - much better messaging app than stock...I even have my LED set to purple!
Ad Free - have to be rooted - especially since most of my apps are free
SoundHound - almost as good as Shazam but is unlimited...Shazam only allows 5 per month unless you got grandfathered in
KeyRing Rewards Cards - hate carrying those little cards around since I don't have keys to carry
Battery Circle - since MoPho only reads battery in increments of 10, this app reads in ones
AirControl Lite - free little game that's a good time waster

Youtube App

I notice that people use a youtube app and would like to know why.
I have had no problem accessing and playing youtube videos from youtube.com using my Dolphin HD browser.
Prolly convenience. Same reason they use bank apps, pandora app, hulu app, etc.
Easier to use plus you don't have to deal with flash which is being discontinued anyway.

Speed.
Flash is slow.
PLUS YouTube.com is designed for computer monitors. YouTube app is designed for android.

Fullscreen - I can never get the in-browser window to fill the screen properly. I think the buttons are easier to hit in the app too.
Thanks for all the input I will give the app a try. I don't go to Youtube very often but it sounds like the way to go.
