Description of Ruby

Ruby is a beautifully designed news app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision. It's built with a familiar design, so it's simple and easy to use and understand. Ruby works great with your devices, and supports iCloud syncing for a seamless experience across all of them. The app itself has a lot of distinct features, such as being able to choose the topic you want to view on your home feed. If you only want to view technology without the politics, you can. Only interested in sports? There's an option for that too. With the explore page, you can also keep up with the latest trends in your region, or make a quick search for whatever you're interested in. Ruby also offers bookmarks, so you can find an article and come back to it later. We also offer customization. You can easily change the country you're in, or the language you prefer to read. The built in news reader is easy to understand, and provides content from your favorite websites, but without the advertisements and other nonsense. Ruby also offers an Apple Watch app, where you can quickly view headlines on your wrist. The Apple Watch app has the same functionality as the iPhone app, so you can easily read headlines of a specific topic, and more. If you want to suggest features for Ruby, contact me on X (Twitter) @mbrkhrdt. I'm open to suggestions, and want to create the best user experience possible!

Reviews of Ruby

best news app

After artifact shut down I was a bit lost where to go but Ruby has by and large filled that gap for me, imo the experience is much better than any news I would consume from twitter, instagram, Facebook, etc… 6/5 stars!

The best news app ever!

This app is so well designed, I love it! The app icon selection is really good too. Highly recommend!!!

App does not work

I am unable to load any news articles. Keeps giving an error of unable to fetch news articles. I have tried different internet connections and uninstalling/reinstalling. Still not working. It appears I am not the only one that is having this issue. Hopefully the developer will fix this issue.

Response from developer

Issue has been fixed temporarily, and we're working on a long term patch that's already been deployed on visionOS and will soon be on the iOS version. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience. Update: 2.1 now fixes the issue permanently.
