## What is ANA?

ANA is a free personal news app for people who want to manage and curate their own news.

You can currently use a HackerNews account to pin, favorite, comment, and post your news.  The news you save, organize, and read are in your hands.

ANA was created by privacy-conscious parents who dislike being tracked and profiled by the news they read.  Like physical newspapers of old, customized mobile ads from partners and supporters help keep ANA going.

Whether you are reading on-the-go or sitting in your favorite chair at home, we hope you enjoy the added privacy while reading your daily, digital newspaper.

Please feel free to send us any feedback through App Store support.  Happy reading!
