Latest reviews of Watchup: Daily News Video Stream app for iPhone and iPad
It worked fine, then I updated to latest iOS and it went crazy. It scrolls from one video to the other, no stop. I uninstalled and reinstalled it 4 times, restarted my iPad. Nothing worked. Please, fix it!
There is absolutely nothing unique or special about this app. Its the same dog with different spots as many of the other apps are. A collection of new stories from around the web. Of course they want a email address or a Facebook account. We are still better off with something like USA today and.
This is perfect. Keeps me updated and current. Great app.
Working in the office has never been so complete until this app. I get to customize the news that Im only interested in.
Ive used and loved this app for years. What can I say, it does what its supposed to do and does it extremely well.
