I go to one news web site after another to read news a dozen times a day.  I introduced a desktop application called <strong>NewsRoll<\/strong> to the OS X world about a year and a half so that I could read news from different sources at a time.  It&#8217;s been quite a hit in many countries.  So I now have a similar iOS app of this kind.

With this app, you don&#8217;t scroll a list of news captions.  Rather, AllNews will scroll each line of news captions for you.  So just watch them and tap a news caption that catches your eyes so that you can read the entire story with a web browser.  The app comes with a built-in library of 100+ RSS links.  So just pick one or more and get lines of news captions rolling. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Let the application roll multiple lines of news captions from right to left.
