Chuck, you can add to or edit a subscription list from within the newsline app. This is essentially the same thing as a favorites list.

Also you are limited on the amount you can read without paying for a subscription, which seemed a little over priced to me. I just finished reading the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune on the NFB Newsline app, which is 100% free. It is very easy to navigate papers and magazines. You can set up a favorite list, but this needs to be done online and the TV guide needs to be set up over the phone, which is a little weird, but Newsline was originally a phone in service. Have your rotor set to Headings, and you can scan the articles by flicking through the titles. When you hear an article you want to read, do a two finger swipe down. I think NFB Newsline is only available in the US and you need to register with NFB Newsline and give proof of disability. If you are a BookShare member you can read the same NFB Newsline papers with Read 2 Go. Go to Search, and then periodicals. It works well, but not as well as the NFB app. Bookshare has an annual fee of $50.
