no dark mode lol

No rush. It’s only August 2025.

Dark mode on App

Can you please make the articles read in Dark Mode on the app?

My favourite newsletter app

Dave collects the most important news from the net each day. It's the hub of news you need each day. Best fix you will get on what is going on the world. Stories that matter.

I’d buy you a coffee for a dark mode

It all comes down to the content, and the curation here is tops. Unfortunately it’s the brightest app I own, and I’m now blind. Please dark mode?

Superlative News Summary

Essential application.

Thank you for existing!

The newsletters are great; I feel like I’m getting my daily news from someone I trust. It’s authentic, it’s smart and funny. Love the podcasts, too. 🙏

Shortlist - one of my favorites

Dave Pell does a fantastic job & I find his perspectives to be consistently thoughtful. NEXTDRAFT is a keeper & highly recommended. Pell helps to bring clarity to cut through the din of current storm.

Excellent

Terrific content delivered intelligently and efficiently.

Please add dark mode for those of us who read before bed.

Save time

Dave Pell is a bit like the brother who is always on the lookout for what’s important and helpful for you to know.

This is the BEST curated news

I’ve been reading for a couple of years. The writing is crisp and sharp, it’s insightful, and it’s always in very timely topics. Besides the Times, this is the one thing I read every day - and now it will be 7 days a week

And, It’s FREE! I would subscribe to this site if required.

This is a quick, entertaining look at the day’s biggest and best stories, from the top of the news to the very bottom. Publisher Dave Pell is a news junkie’s news junkie!

And, there’s no signing in or obligation to provide any identification to the app.

Love the writing. App could use a dark mode.

I love the writing and that the text can be scaled in the app. I only wish the app honored dark mode as it blinds me at night.

TDS

Like most news curators these days, another biased editor that heavily slants the articles he highlights.

Over glorified headlines...

The concept is nice, but the content falls very short.

Love NextDraft

Dave Pell is witty and his curation is on point. The app is simple and I’ve never had issues with it.

Witty as fuc4

Thanks Dave

Trump Hating Liberal

Overt Trump hating liberal. Deleted.

Gorgeous text display

I’ve never really thought to comment on the display of mere text within an app, but NextDraft nails it. My failing eyes rely on DynamicText in iOS, so it’s wonderful to see an app that respects my needs that way.

Meh..

What’s all the fuss, narrow stream of news just pointing to other sites..

So good

Great app. Superb writing, puns, and interesting links.
