website Appolicious, Kazim said the company was "evaluating" creating a native iPhone app. Such an app would have been designed for users who check their phones for news throughout the day. Reception Ongo was listed on The Next Web as one of "8 Social Media Apps to Watch in 2011". On the site's release, The New York Times wrote "Ongo is for readers who peruse a variety of publications every day and want to read them all in one place." In a press release, Ovum Ltd analyst Adrian Drury was quoted saying, "Ongo is bringing a web application to market that delivers a slick interface for reading news onscreen. In exchange, Ongo seeks to package content from premium news publishers and get a monthly subscription from users for the service." USA Today reviewed Ongo's iPad app, giving it three out of four stars and complimenting the interface and variety of publications available. Poynter praised the site for its ability to find interesting stories, also citing its increased relevance in the wake of the New York Times' implementation of a paywall for online reading. Ongo was also featured by Appolicious. References External links Ongo website Ongo Facebook page Ongo Twitter American news websites Companies based in Cupertino, California
