EZ Global Search version 1.7 was released to the iTunes app store on January 18th. While the previous version 1.6 included a number of worthwhile additions the app experienced some bugs after Apple rolled out iOS 6. We’re happy to share that EZ Global Search v. 1.7 supports both iPhone 5 users and everyone running iOS 6. That includes iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. Existing app owners can grab the 1.7 update for free.
The EZ Global Search app is available on iTunes for $2.99 and includes future updates. We highly recommend you download the app. You will need Easynews web access to use EZ Global Search. If you’re not already a member you can sign up for a 14 day free trial of their popular web interface.
As you can see above the EZ Global Search app allows you to connect to the Easynews service on your iOS mobile device. Search as if you were using their web interface. Then view the details of posts and add content to zip manager. All without using a computer. Luckily the only Easynews iOS app on the market is a good one. Android fans shouldn’t feel left out as Easynews has EZ Usenet and EasyBorwser 3rd party apps available.
