Fluent Mobile (a mobile content organization and delivery company) has debuted premium features available via in-app-purchase for Fluent News. The new premium features enable news readers to create their own personalized mobile newspaper by filtering out unwanted news sources and “promoting” their favorites to greater prominence. Additionally, they can create unlimited custom news sections on any topic, and eliminate banner ads in section lists.
With today’s release, Fluent News readers can create their own personal mobile newspapers by selecting “favorite” news sources. This will bring those news outlets to greater prominence throughout Fluent News’ 13 sections. Fluent News’ content relevancy algorithms will still organize and prioritize the most important stories, but preference will be given to each reader’s favorite outlets. Conversely, users can hide news outlets that are of less interest. Users without premium access get limited use of this feature; they can promote one source and disable one source.
Check out the demo video below:
The new version of Fluent News is available free of charge for iPhone and iPod touch users on the Apple App Store.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
