Customer Reviews

Perfect for Breaking News!!!! (5 stars)
This app is really great! I have been using breakingnews.com for a long time, and the app is the perfect companion!! The news is always up to date and appears here before anywhere else!!!!!

Lightning fast news app (5 stars)
This app boils down the crush of daily news to just the important facts and delivers them fast. You can tell it's written and selected by editors, not some robotic filter. The push alerts are super quick and stick to just the bigger stories (about two per day). A great, simple news source that loads quickly, gets you in and out fast.

Love the push notifications! (5 stars)
I typically fire this app up when I have a few minutes to kill, just to scroll through the most recent breaking news. The real value, though (at least for me) is in the push notifications. It's great to know — immediately — when big stories break, even if I am not online or watching TV.

Thanks for a great app!
