LOVE LOVE LOVE this app. I've been using this app for several years now and it just keeps getting better!  Zite is a personalized magazine like app that allows you to customize what you read and what is given to you. You choose your topics, interests, and even key words and your news will be delivered based on that. As you "like" or "dislike" an article, Zite learns more about you and customizes the app even more to your liking's or stops providing content based on your dis-liking's. 

Zite offers in app sharing to text, email, Facebook, Twitter and even more!! You can change your text size and block sources from those you no longer wish to see. There's a great search feature that will let you type in any search terms and will find the most recent articles on that topic.
