What's New in Hourly News

July 24, 2017
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
• Bug fixes and optimizations
I downloaded this app a couple of years ago and I still love it. It’s the perfect way to be fully informed but avoid the 24 hour cable news hyperbole and speculation machine. Respected journalists from all of the major news sources delivering the news in a neutral way, without all of the yelling, updated every hour. You really can be fully informed and keep your sanity.
