Usa Today App; Moving Through And Enjoying Content - Motorola DROID Manual

USA Today App

While not as big and colorful as the physical paper version, you can still get USA Today
on your phone. The app is available in the News & Weather category of the Android
Market. Note that as of press time, it doesn't ship with a widget.
Download the app as you did the other news apps.
The app will detect your current location if you've
enabled the GPS on your phone. That means the
weather section can give you weather for your
location as well as other regions.
The sections of the paper are near the top of the
home screen. Just slide from right to left and then
touch the section of the paper you want to read.
In addition, you'll find sections for Headlines,
Scores, Weather, Pictures, and Snapshots along
the top of the screen.

Moving Through and Enjoying Content

After you play for a while with all these news sites, you'll begin to realize that there is no
real standard for moving around. This means you'll need to become familiar with each
app's own way of navigating articles and returning to the main screen. Here's a short
guide for generally navigating these types of apps; these features are common to The
New York Times and USA Today apps:
Showing or Hiding Control Buttons: Pressing the Menu button will
generally show all your options for that article, picture, or video.
Getting to the Details of an Article: Usually, you just scroll through
the articles, just as you would on a web page.
Viewing a Video: Tap a video to start playing it. Usually, this plays the video
in the same manner as any other video. See Chapter 15: "Viewing Videos, TV
Shows, and More" to learn how to navigate videos on your DROID.
