I downloaded the free copy to see if it was a good product. Every time I attempted to download a file the app said it was over the 14 day age limit allowed for downloading even though the the app says that the file was posted four days earlier. No thanks.

Just upgraded to Lollipop and needed to run the SD card fix app for KitKat. Resolved issues in Lollipop saving to SD card. The developer did a great job on this app. Does exactly what the description says with an EZnews subscription acct. I purchased the unlock and have been using it for years. Browsing images could be better if full screen was available but overall this is the best of its kind.

With this, you can search for and stream video and audio directly from EasyNews with your favorite video/audio player. It's possible to do this without this app, but it's a much more tedious and lengthy manual process. The free version will let you download/stream files posted in the last two weeks. The unlock ($2.49 as of this writing) removes this limitation. You can use any video app capable of streaming from HTTP/HTTPS. I personally used BSPlayer Free, but XBMC and dozens of others should work as well. The only nitpick keeping this app from getting 5 stars is that it requires your EasyNews username/password.

Useful. Most important features I'd add: Browse larger photo thumbnails (are always small til clicked) 2. Add "exclude" to search syntax like "-".

This is an ok app, and it does what it says. But the browsers in modern smart phone (especially Android) are so good these days, and Easynews's Global Search is a clean enough interface, that this app is fairly marginalized from the get go. I can just as easily download without a 14-day limit via the phone's browser. And for anything major, I'm certainly not going to use my phone anyway, eh? ;-) It is a good app though and does work as advertised.

You can't activate this app. It asks for username and password but then tells you they aren't valid. Nobody to ask for help. FAQs are no help!!

Awesome app, use it all the time, for years now. Dropped by to review it when I noticed the perplexing bad reviews. Rest assured, this is a nice app and works great!
