THE DESCRIPTION:
The “Weird News” app collects and presents the headlines and first paragraphs of the latest oddball news stories.

THE GOOD:
Weird News gives you headlines and first paragraphs of the latest “weird” news. You can browse headlines one by one and click a link to read the full story from its online source. Each headline also tells you how recent the story is. The app is simple and easy to use.

THE BAD:
It takes a while to load once you’ve opened the application, and you can’t view the full articles without opening up the internet, which adds in extra time. The feed only lets you read one headline at a time, so you won’t be able to see a full list or browse through multiple stories.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
Feeding out-of-the-ordinary news stories is a worthwhile concept, but this application doesn’t offer much. If nothing else, the individual headlines are somewhat humorous and fun to read. Check out “6001 Crazy Facts Free” for weird, random facts.
