WHAT SETS VOLUSHA APART FROM THE REST?

The primary answer to that is the fact that Volusha can actually read back news to you, thus freeing up your hands to engage in other activities. Even if you’re not doing anything and you’re too bored to scroll on a website, Volusha can come to your rescue and help you out. That being said, there are a number of areas in which I felt that the app can improve. For starters, it only has a set number of news providers. True enough, they are adding more news providers every day, but it would be nice if we could add our own news providers as well. After all, what good is having an account and a personal library if we cannot customize it to our own liking and preference?

Another thing I noted was that rather than take an article and optimize it for readability like how Google News or even Feedly does, Volusha simply redirects to the original news article and adds a header on top of the web page to read out the article to you. One main disadvantage of this I saw was that certain news providers are not optimized for mobile view. So you’ll either be scrolling a lot, or you won’t be able to view the entire article as the font size is too large.

Another small hiccup I found in the app was that there was no way to exit the app. Simply pressing the back button would not close the app. Rather, I had to go to my Recent apps and close it from there or press the Home button. This also means that the app is possibly running in the background taking up processing power and memory as well.
