Users can choose to either sift news stories by category or they can narrow things down further by selecting a single news source.

Categories include News, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sports, Science, and many more. Navigate through these categories by using the colorful tabs at the top of the screen.

News Sources and Sharing

When you go into any of the sections that appeal to you, you'll be presented with what looks like a news feed. Article headlines are shown along with the source, ranging from Forbes to Washington Post. Articles are chosen based on the currently trending and popular ones.

If you'd like to receive breaking news, you can do so by setting up push notifications in the morning, afternoon, as well as evening times.

When you find an article that you'd like to share, you can do so via Twitter and Facebook. Alternatively, save it to Evernote or Pocket for reading and referencing later.

This app constantly adds more news channels which is great for the diehard news junkies out there. Furthermore, the developers are constantly working under the hood to make sure the app runs as smoothly as possible.
