## What is Verso?

Verso turns the day's news into short, clear briefs. When dozens of outlets cover the same event, Verso reads the coverage, groups it into one story and writes a brief you can finish in under a minute. Every source stays one tap away.

TODAY'S BRIEF
Ten top stories every morning, about four minutes to read. Swipe through, save what matters, and see what's coming in the next edition.

HOME
The biggest stories of the day, ranked by how many outlets are covering them, not by clicks. Then what's rising, the latest news, category rails and local news near you.

FEED
Full-screen briefs, one at a time. Swipe to the next story; stories you've read stay out of the way. Tap More like this or Less like this to tune it.

EVERY SOURCE
Each brief shows the outlets behind it. Open the original articles whenever you want the full reporting.

FOLLOW THE STORY
Major events keep a timeline of every development, so you can catch up on the whole story in order.

THE INDEX
Search and follow people, places and topics. For You ranks stories from what you follow.

ALERTS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME
Breaking news only when a major story breaks, up to three a day, with quiet hours at night. Or get one Daily Brief notification at the time you pick. Add local alerts for your city.

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Open your iPhone Duo and stories spread across two pages: the photo, coverage, timeline or people on one side, the brief on the other. Today's Brief reads like a book.

ALSO
• Home Screen widgets for Rising, Latest and Near you
• Saved stories and your feed work offline
• Read as a guest; no account needed
• Optional Sign in with Apple or Google to sync saves, follows and your city
• Local news uses your city only; precise location stays on your phone

Briefs are AI-written summaries of real publisher coverage, and sources are always shown. Verso is not affiliated with any publisher.
