I tried this on my Android phone. It's pretty good. I have to say I didn't stick with it though. Might be better on a bigger screen- it is a very visual approach to news reading. I have to say, GeeReader is already great and I have HTC Sense news reader on my phone.

Not so good. Very slow and just not quite as functional as my Galaxy S. Hopefully Pulse comes out with a native PB app that would be the best.

Make the world a better place. Recycle your apples.

How would people compare this to the BB News Reader app? News is pretty bare bones but gets the job done. Is this any better or more functional?

also agree with utsmaster18 about getting Pulse on the Playbook natively. Definitely my favourite from Android.

Cool app like the layout. but it lags like nothing else when you try to scroll around in it.

Sad I was extremely excited to start using this

Is taptu an android app? I notice the interface is kind of different than the other PB app, as there is a swipe from the bottom gesture now....

I tried to download it but it says it's not supported on my device. I'm on my Playbook???

I get the same error... not supported on my device. On a PlayBook... weird

Pulse is much nicer.

Can't download it says, not supported on my device profile, or something like that.

I tried it out and it lagged horribly when navigating. I'll stick with Pulse for now (hopefully a native version will be available soon).

I can't get it to load. It's loading the Android virtual machine and then dies. Other apps ported from Android work.

I loved this app on my Android phone and was excited to see Taptu on PB, but as well as most of the Android apps I tried so far on my PB this one is quite laggy too. For now I'm not sure whether I will be using it or not...

I feel duped by RIM- the Android player everybody thought we were gonna get- we Didn't get and what's more...there aren't ANY decent Android apps in app world they all suck! I've been so caught up in the bridge remote that the more I've been thinking about it the more I get pissed. Another thing the email didn't work for me either, it won't let me setup Yahoo Mail!

taptu frequently crashes on me. and so does a lot of apps that utilizes the android VM =(

Meh.

Yes, it's an Android app. It lags a bit just after startup, because it seems to be loading content in the background. After a few seconds it smooths out. Hasn't crashed on me at all.

As for complaints about the lack of android apps, that's a developer issue. If we want them, we need to loudly demand them from the people who make them.
