For the past couple of years, Pulse has been one of the most popular iOS news reader apps around. Now the app has found a new audience as a full featured web application.
While iOS device hardware is optimized for convenient news reading, the hardware requires great software to truly create a great news reading experience. Pulse has always fulfilled that with its wonderful and graphical tile-based interface. Users are able to slide their news stories and organize news sources conveniently.
While the iOS and Android versions of Pulse have been popular with users, there’s always been a group of Pulse users who’ve clamored for a version for computers.
Pulse’s solution comes not in the form of a downloadable app, but a full-featured web application.
The web user interface automatically adjusts for different monitor and browser window sizes, and will work with any major browser.
Pulse allows you to add news from a gaggle of sources, such as: technology, general world news, science, lifestyle, business, sports, entertainment, food, fun and humor, politics, and art and design.
User content between mobile app and desktop web app will automatically sync via a free Pulse.me account.
Social sharing is prominent, via a bar within each article that allows the user to share the current content with other users via Twitter, Facebook, and email.
The web app runs in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on the Mac, in addition to those browsers and Internet Explorer on Windows PCs.
Access Pulse’s new web application at www.pulse.me.
