USA Today

A great app that brings USA Today to your iPhone. The thing that I like about USA Today is the way you get news in a short, easy to read format. For those of us who primarily read picture books this is a welcome thing.

The "Headlines" button takes you to the news stories. Along the top of the screen are more buttons – Top News, News, Money, Sports & Life. Touch one of these buttons and it brings up stories in those categories.

The "Scores" button at the bottom takes you to Sports scores. Along the top are more buttons for  NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. I can honestly say the only time those buttons will be touched is if my husband borrows my phone.

"Weather" takes you to a great page. You can set your favorite locations and USA Today will pull up the current conditions and 5-day forecast for that location. Touch the "i" at the bottom left of the screen and you can change your favorite locations. To do this touch "Add New Location" then type in the city you want to add. You can also delete cities from your favorite list by touching the red minus next to their name and  then touching the "delete" that shows up. Back on the main weather page if you touch "Current Location" you’ll get the weather information for where you are at that very moment. "National Weather Maps" pulls up the different weather maps for the nation. In case you wondered what the radar was doing in Albuquerque that day.

The "Pictures" button shows you pictures from USA Today. "Snaphots" brings up questions/issues that you can vote on. Under the Life section in Snapshots I got the question "when do you throw out your underwear?" This is an important and timely issue if there ever was one, especially when you have a four year old boy in your house.
