There definitely isn’t a shortage of Windows 8 news apps on the Windows Store, but there aren’t too many which can compete with the name and professionalism of Reuters. So, if you own a Windows 8, 8.1 or RT, RT 8.1 device, touch or desktop, you can go ahead and get the app now.
I have been using the app on my Windows 8.1 tablet and am really pleased with its performance and would gladly recommend it to anybody out there. If you have been following Reuters on their web page or by using their other mobile apps, then you will find the same level of quality in the fresh Windows 8 app, as well. It comes with a size of slightly more than 6 megabytes, so it definitely won’t affect your disk space, at all.

Also, when you will first open the app, it will feel a little bit slugish, but things will improve with the second session.
