I like Summrly. It came in to my attention when it was featured in the Appstore as Editor's Choice.
I have been poking around Circa for the last two week as well and I prefer this format better.
It's more playful, more to discover. It took a little bit to get used to the gestures, but I like it.
I like this approach more than getting pushed updates on my pre-selected news stories (how Circa works). Problem with Circa is that you have to make a decision right then and there. You have to decide if you care to hear about this story in the future or not. And the result is a) i subscribe to very little subject or b) I over subscribe to many subjects and get overwhelmed with updates, and this dilutes my interest in all of the subject.
But that's not how we generally read the Newsaper or any content for that matter. We often read the side lines. the news before and after, or the surrounding industries. That's the reason why I think Circa will have a hard time converting me to a daily user of their app. Summrly on the other hand, i load it 5 times a day.
Anyway, Hearing that a young entrepreneur is behind this is even more impressive. Fantastic work!
