Customized iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad newsreader for the LiberationNews.org. Features user-selectable automatic or manual refresh of article lists from Liberation News, and caching of downloaded articles to read while offline. Download all the latest articles at home or at a coffee shop, then read them on the train or bus, at the gym, or while walking to work (or, for that matter, at work!). Story display is optimized for the iPhone/iPod or iPad, as appropriate. Old articles are automatically purged from the cache when they disappear from the article list. Share articles with your friends via Facebook, email, and Twitter!
