Free Singapore iPhone Apps #1: The Straits Times

Posted on 2009 under Free iPhone Apps (Local) | 2 Comments

I am having fun exploring the apps on iTunes store.  Currently, I have not spent a single cent yet as I am looking into the free ones only.  Hehe.

Being a Singaporean iPhone user, one of my favourite local apps is The Straits Times App.

Sometimes, I am so busy that I don’t even have time to flip the newspapers at home, but with this app, I can browse news snippets on the go.  I like how awesome the graphics look on the iPhone too.  Great job SPH!

The front page shows the latest updates by the hour.  You can customize how many stories you want to show per category at Settings –> Straits Times.

You can alternate between news from “Top Stories”, “Singapore”, “Southeast Asia” and “Asia”.

You can also select specific categories to read at “More”.

The Straits Times App is only 0.2 MB in size and I think it is a worthy download for every Singaporean iPhone user.

With this app in hand, I did not even bother downloading iToday anymore.  LOL.
