== Reviews ==
TechCrunch: "The design itself is sleek and clean, allowing you to separate each stream....If you are a power reader or a news junkie, Taptu's app is the way to go. Not only does it allow you to access a large number of news sources (thousands), in an easy to read interface, but it allows you to personalize and customize your feeds, which is a useful feature."
Wired.com "...Taptu's secret sauce lets you mash up "mixed streams...I didn't give up on it after some initial enthusiasm. I kept going back not only to read up on things but also to try things out that occurred to me randomly and to tinker with feeds."
Gizmodo's App of the Day: "It's like having a personalized digital newsstand where instead of displaying magazines, it shows articles...Adding stuff to read is easy too!...A huge plus is that you can mix and match sources (like Gizmodo and Lifehacker, let's say) on the go (like creating folders) so you're not overwhelmed by so many streams and rows."
TUAW: "...I have a feeling that Taptu is going to be taking over for much of my feed reading on the iPad. The ability to merge feeds into Sources is snazzy, and the app is responsive and quick to update...."

* Import from G Reader: Add your favorite RSS feeds from G Reader.
* Heavy Reader? No problem! Add as many of your favorite streams as you like... if the apps gets slow, start mixing them.

You can even share your streams with your friends via Facebook, Twitter or email.
