If you are the kind of person who loves reading their daily newspaper with a cup of steaming coffee, rest assured that you can do so with your iPad and Twitter.
Headlines takes your Twitter account and turns it into a newspaper. The newest tweet is the headline and you can swipe your finger to see the next, and the next, and the next.
Headlines gives you a new way to view your tweets, however, it's not completely new. It's comfortably familiar.
You can save tweets as pictures on your iPad for later viewing. This is cool because that means that you can show all your friends your awesome "newspaper" even if they don't have an iPad.
With Headlines, you can also hare the tweets via email. Anyone with an email and a computer can share in your fun as well.
This is the first time that an app has really tried to make the actual Twitter feed different. Usually, apps just change the background or maybe to color scheme or they add a bit more functionality. This app, however, is a game changer. This will force other developers to get more creative with their twitter apps.

Another great thing about this app is that it's universal. It works with the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This means that when your buy it you can also sync it to your other devices.
Also, through this app you can retweet from your account. That means that you can still share your own things, or things that you like, while using this app. You can also open linked websites. This is good because that means that you don't have to copy the address and go to Safari and then look at something. You can just click on it right there.
[rating: 5/5]
This app has been excellently designed and the idea behind it is unique. I recommend this app to anyone who likes staying up-to-date on the go and also for anyone with a bit of nostalgia for the "good old days" where newspapers were an everyday sight.
Your can purchase this app Here.
