Let's carousel - Alphonso Lab's Pulse app is a great way to organise your favourite feeds

More apps should help us to organise the content that we like from the web. Pulse is a fantastic app that displays stories from your favourite feeds in an innovative and engaging way. Why download apps for each individual blog or website that you enjoy when one app can take care of it all for you?

I like
The image driven story carousels are a great way to organise a large amount of content on my HTC Desire's small screen.  Swiping to rotate the stories has me immediately engaged and discovering information.

Very simple, but strong user journey. Tapping a story takes me immediately into a detailed, but easy to read content page. The carousel related to the particular website or blog that I'm browsing also remains at the bottom of the screen, encouraging me to discover new stories.

Great social media integration. I'm only ever a touch away from sharing stories with my Twitter followers or Facebook friends.

Works very well offline. The majority of the content on Pulse seems to be cached, so you can happily browse through stories on the tube.

Don't like
Limited amount of recommended content when setting up feeds.

It would be fantastic if Pulse recommended other feeds and stories to you, based on what other users where looking at or sharing.
