Wildcard launches a slick news app you might actually use
Here's the evolution of mobile news reading in a nutshell: First there were browsers; then RSS readers; and eventually we saw a slew of news reading apps like Flipboard, Feedly and Nuzzel that aimed to make it easier to discover and read news. Now Wildcard, an iPhone app that previously tried to turn the entire internet into mobile-friendly cards, is stepping up the mobile news game with its latest version. Like the competition it also highlights breaking news based on your preferences, and it also takes into account what your Twitter friends share. But it has a few big advantages. It's simply gorgeous, with an interface that feels perfectly suited to browsing on your phone; and it also features some helpful editorial curation. After testing, and giving up on, plenty of news apps over the years, Wildcard stands out for one reason: It actually makes me want to read more news.
