## What is DailyBug News?

DailyBug is the day’s most important news — balanced across the political spectrum and distilled into a short read.

Every morning and afternoon, we scan outlets from the left, center, and right, then build one clear story per event. You see where coverage agrees, where it diverges, and links back to the original sources.

WHAT YOU GET
• A focused daily briefing — no endless feed
• Full stories with source balance and context
• DOT — ask questions about a story or today’s briefing
• Optional email and push when the morning briefing is ready

DAILYBUG PLUS
Unlock unlimited DOT and the full DailyBug experience with an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

First app I review every morning.  Prepares me for the day.  Excellent!

### 5/5 — Best news app

*2026-09-07*

Finally a news app that doesn’t feel like homework. DailyBug is fast, clean, and actually useful. The daily digest is excellent, alerts aren’t spam, and I finish the important stories instead of bouncing off them. Best news app I’ve used in a long time. 5 stars.
