Apps to watch – Flyne (Beta)

The power of the Android platform is in its developers . These developers do not cease to surprise us with creativity. What makes the Android platform to stand out from the other is the possibility that developers can have apps on Play Store that are still in beta phase. In most of the cases in order to download the beta version of the application the only requirement is to join the Google+ Community. At this same Google+ Community you can leave problems you encountered, or suggestions regarding the app.

Large companies prefer to produce apps that are closed and they basically don’t want to hear the opinions of the end users . However smaller developer communities and individuals who make beta applications are generally open for suggestions and assistance in the development of their application. Therefore the application at the end receives and gains strong community and becomes very useful to users and not just companies.

There are certainly a bunch of applications that are currently in beta stage, but Flyne is definitely an application that I think will get the attention of users and evolve into a serious project.

Flyne is offline reader for Twitter. It will provide you with full offline articles from your favorite twitter feeds. It is created by Joaqim Verges, the creator of the popular and maybe the best Twitter app – Falcon Pro. Flyne will allow reading the news without Internet access. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you don’t need Internet access at all. To collect the news you will certainly need Internet connection.
