App of the week is a weekly showcase of an awesome app developed on Windows 8 or Windows Phone. Got an app you love that you want us to talk about? Leave us a comment and tell us which app and why you love it!
I know a lot of people have criticised the site about the level of sophistication and discussion that goes on between the pixels on the screen, but I say it’s an accurate reflection of heartland life in Singapore.
Some of the deepest Singaporean sentiments run deep in the articles, although at times it is masked by comments that doesn’t seem to have been well-thought out.
I admit it – I love STOMP, without it who would report about Ah lians sleeping on trains and taking up 5 MRT seats?
Oh and it really doesn’t hurt that the news on it is as bizarre and incredulous. Sometimes I wonder if people deliberately fabricate stories just to get the $50 reward by Singapore Press Holdings.
And now you can continue to read about the latest craziest news and happenings on the MRT from STOMP on it’s Windows 8 application!
I must warn you though, STOMP on Windows 8 looks much cleaner than what you may be used to on the regular STOMP website.
Take a deep breath.
Here it is.
On the home screen you can view all the hot topics that are going on within the website. By scrolling right and left, you can also view other headlines in ‘Singapore Seen’ and many others.
Inside each category you can quickly and easily glance through all the top news and updates on what’s going on without having to scroll too far!
What I first noticed is the key difference between the website and the app is the lack of clutter. I much prefer reading STOMP on the Windows 8 User Interface (UI) minus the ad banners and many other distractions from the content. This version of the UI is much easier to read and pleasant on the eyes.
Now go forth and gossip on!
