I have never promoted an app on my blog. However, I now want to direct your attention to one.
We must be both students of God’s Word and God’s world. And one of the best ways to know what is going on in His world is to keep up with the news on a regular basis. I use an app for that.
As I eat my oatmeal or Honey Bunches of Oats each morning, I do two other things: 1) I have the local news on the television; and 2) I am searching thirty additional news sources.
Pulse is one of the most helpful apps I have on my iPhone. It allows me to access only the news sources I desire. In just a few minutes, I am able to scan the headlines of sources such as USA Today, CBC, CNN, NPR, BBC, The Economist, NY Times, AP, Fox, NBC, Al Jazeera, and Reuters to name a few. If I find a headline of interest, I can read the article, save it to read later, or email it to someone.
Pulse is user-friendly. It keeps everything on one screen for you. And it is free.
If you do not have an efficient system to help you consume a great deal of global news very quickly, then start with Pulse. I think you’ll like it.

I’ve been using Feedly. Allows me to add news feeds and blogs on the same app. Pretty cool.
Thanks, Cody!
