Broadersheet automatically downloads text-only, mobile-friendly editions of freely-available articles in just a few seconds.
Tapping a headline immediately tries to load the article on the publisher's website, bringing you their rich experience including images, embedded videos, related articles and more.
If your network connection is slow, you can jump straight to the gorgeous offline edition of a story: the full text of the original article without the fluff:

Just because you're offline doesn't mean you get a poor experience: Broadersheet keeps track of any hearts, trashes and stars that you apply to articles.
All article editing is automatically synced next time you're connected to the Internet. This is all taken care of in the background so you can concentrate on enjoying the news.
While you're at home and your iPod Touch is connected to your wifi, simply launch Broadersheet and wait a few seconds for it to sync. As soon as the progress bar completes you can return to the iPod's Home screen and carry on with your day.
Pro tip: if you know you're going to have a long time to spend reading the news, then tap 'refresh' when Broadersheet has finished downloading stories and the app will retrieve even more personalized news right up to the second.
Later, when you're at the office or waiting for the bus, launch Broadersheet and it will automatically detect that you're offline. Tapping a story headline will instantly load the gorgeously-rendered article text.
