About this app

Courier is a mobile RSS news reader with enhanced security features, offline reading and sharing capability. We've designed it to be fast and light on slow networks and secure in case your network is monitored.

FEATURES:
★ SECURE: Courier works with Orbot, Tor for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android) to defend against network surveillance and protect your privacy
★ ENCRYPTED: Courier encrypts your stored news - and personal information - to protect your privacy
★ PANIC: Courier's configurable "panic" action will remove your news, your personal data and optionally the app itself with one swipe
★ SAFE: Courier securely caches your password with a configurable timeout. You can configure for repeated password entry failures to trigger data (and app!) deletion. And you can set a special "kill password".
★ AUTOMATIC: Courier quietly synchronizes your feeds in the background (manual mode available, too!)
★ CONTENT SHARE: secure, off-network, sharing of news articles with other users of Courier via Bluetooth (unsecure share available, too!)
★ PEER-TO-PEER APP SHARING: Get your friends set up with Courier by sharing the app over a common WiFi network or hotspot.
★ LIGHTWEIGHT: configure Courier to minimize network data use on low-speed networks or sync only on wi-fi
★ FAVORITES: mark articles as easily-retrieved favorites
★ PRE-CONFIGURED: Courier ships with desirable international news feeds, and it's easy to add your own
★ LANGUAGES: English, Chinese (中國的), Tibetan (བོད་ཡིག), Ukrainian (Український), Russian (русский)
★ AD-FREE: Courier is an ad-free, open-source application
