P R E S SHere's what the press and bloggers have been saying about FreeRange: "FreeRange, one of the latest mobile newsreaders, lets the headline hungry use a mobile phone to digest their favorite blogs or websites efficiently in a matter of minutes ... If you are familiar with RSS newsreaders like Bloglines or NewsGator, you won't face much of a learning curve in navigating FreeRange ... Excluding graphics and downloading only the newest articles means you don't have to wait long to browse articles using FreeRange." John Gartner, Wired News review "The market is ripe for a killer feed reader that does not rely on HTML/WAP. Thankfully, FreeRange Communications is fulfilling this need. Their FreeRange RSS reader (which actually is not free, but well worth the $20/yr.) is an absolute winner. What I love about FreeRange is its speed. It downloads RSS feeds lickity split. In addition, when you follow a feed link FreeRange provides you with the full text of the page in a stripped down, graphics-free readable format. FreeRange also supports offline reading and they make it very easy to subscribe/unsubscribe from feeds via the Web or the mobile client.

I recommend trying it out." focusedwebdesign.com "Each of us has dead times, when you are stuck in traffic, or in line at the supermarket, or waiting your turn at the dentist.

Frankly, FreeRange is the most important, most useful mobile application I've ever tried. It has changed the way I use my phone.
