Good: Material has an attractive interface and an exceptionally simple setup process. Unlike Flipboard, it creates a personalized digest for you, saving you from adding news sources manually.
Bad: You'll likely see several redundant stories throughout your digests. There's no way to see previous digests. The app is riddled with bugs.
Bottom Line: Material could one day be a great, simpler alternative to Flipboard, but first it has to fix its performance issues. [Read more]

Good: The LG G2 has a top-of-the line processor, an expansive screen, and a powerful camera that's lightning-quick.
Bad: The handset's rear control buttons take time to get used to, its new software features are buried and unintuitive, and there's no microSD card slot.
Bottom Line: If you're willing to live with some minor design compromises, you can't go wrong with LG's ultrafast G2 workhouse. [Read more]

Good: The TiVo Roamio Pro is the company's most powerful DVR to date with six tuners; 450 hours of HD storage; a healthy selection of streaming video, music, and photo services; a best-in-class DVR experience; the capability to stream and download to iOS devices; and easy expansion to other rooms with TiVo Mini extenders.
Bad: Cable cutters and satellite subscribers will be disappointed that the Roamio Plus and Pro work with digital cable and Verizon Fios only. Only viewers in select Comcast markets can access their provider's pay-per-view or VOD content. The price is steep: $600 plus $15 a month (or $500 for lifetime service). While there are plenty of available streaming options, key services like Amazon Prime and HBO Go are still missing.
Bottom Line: If you're willing to pay the premium price, TiVo's do-it-all Roamio is the best cable DVR yet and an able whole-home TV solution. [Read more]
