No list of Windows 8 news reading apps is complete without a mention of
News Bento. This highly-rated application is one of the most popular ones around on the Windows Store.
News Bento is simple on design, but high on features. The to-do list, for example, includes news feed aggregation and OPML import features — the latter allows users to quickly import their feeds from other RSS readers on the market. And these may include both traditional desktop and Metro apps.
The official description gets straight to the point:
“The most fluid and beautiful news reader on Windows 8!”
The free app has received a new set of improvements recently that bring better feed management along with enhanced Live Tile support that displays the latest news right on the Start screen. And that’s not all. The developers have also included a dark theme for the application.
A portrait mode is included and snapping is also supported.
More features are promised to arrive in future updates, but as things stand, this remains a very capable news reading app. The interface, as noted above, is simple yet effective, and comes completely optimized for touch. News Bento is available for all versions of Windows 8, including Windows RT.
