About this app

With the app you can follow your favorite news, sports and entertainment. No need to add RSS feeds or browse news site-by-site -- it has been all done, you just pop in and read, either the latest news or the most popular ones.

If you want, you can also install the app as a widget to your Android homescreen, configure how often it should update, what news categories to show, etc.

The layout is different than other news apps. One feature I like is the option to select where they receive their news..( news sources ) and the availability is quite large, probably over 150 sources. It's updated regularly.... If your looking to read up on the news, this is great...with many categories and topics.

It's a good app, I really loved the widget and the ui. However, that being said, I do wish it would show popular / latest news for your location - especially since it asks for it! I'll update my review to 5 stars once that becomes the case.

USE EXTERNAL BROWSER! The most important to me, plus dark mode, great choice of news sources.
