## What is WillaNews?

WillaNews gathers the news you follow from newspapers and broadcasters in more than 100 countries and turns it into a briefing you can read in minutes - summarized on your iPhone, never in the cloud.

YOUR DAILY BRIEFING
Once a day WillaNews reads every story you follow - hundreds on a busy day - and opens with a real summary: the key points and what they add up to. Top stories come next, ranked by how many outlets covered them, then key facts with their figures and dates, then every story grouped by topic. On supported iPhone models, Apple Intelligence writes the summary on your device; everywhere else WillaNews picks the key sentences from the articles themselves. Copy it, edit it, share it or listen to it - nothing plays until you tap Listen.

BRIEFINGS ON YOUR SCHEDULE
Make your own plans for a topic, a country or everything you follow: daily, weekly, on the days you pick, or every few hours. The newest briefing waits at the top of For You, and a Morning Briefing notification at the time you choose opens it. Country briefings research that country's own outlets first.

FOR YOU, FROM YOUR COUNTRIES AND TOPICS
Choose the countries and topics you care about - or combine them, like Sports in Germany - and For You shows exactly that, newest first. Follow an outlet you trust and its stories join in. What you read shapes the order, and unfollowing always asks first.

SEE HOW THE WORLD COVERS IT
Story clusters gather one event as reported by different outlets, with their countries, a timeline and the political lean of the coverage. "Also in" shows when outlets in other countries cover the same story, and one tap summarizes the whole story across them.

SUMMARIES AND TRANSLATION ON YOUR DEVICE
Tap a story and WillaNews reads the full article and summarizes it in the Summary Style you pick. Translate replaces the headline, text and summary right in the story, and Show Original switches back. When a language can't be translated, WillaNews tells you why.

ONE TAP TO ANY COUNTRY
The Country chip on Home switches to that country's own outlets and top stories. Topics - Business, Technology, Politics, Defence, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment - work for every country, and every story names the outlet that wrote it, with a country flag.

SAVED, ORGANIZED
Save stories with tags, group them by country, topic or tag, and search them. Saved keeps an offline copy to read without a connection, summarizes any group, builds a 7-day digest and exports to Markdown or CSV.

ALSO
- Search that forgives typos and can search the web
- Keyword alerts and notifications from what you follow - a tap opens the story
- Add any RSS feed next to more than 350 built-in feeds
- A clean reader, Local News, audio briefings and a home-screen widget
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-01

For You, from your countries and topics
- For You shows the countries you choose - your Home Country until you follow others.
- Follow a country and a topic together, like Sports in Germany, from Edit For You or a story's long-press menu.
- Topics you follow bring in each country's Google News section, so they fill up.
- A source you follow adds its stories. Unfollowing always asks first.

A daily briefing of every story you follow
- Your daily briefing covers every story For You showed in the last 24 hours - hundreds on a busy day.
- It opens with a real summary in your Summary Style: the key points and what they add up to, written on-device by Apple Intelligence on supported iPhone models, and picked from the articles everywhere else.
- Top stories come next - the ones most outlets covered, with the count - then key facts and every story grouped by topic, with Show all.
- Every summary in the app - Saved groups, the Digest, a story's coverage, Home's feed - leads the same way.
- Copy, Edit Text, Share or Listen from the bar at the bottom.
- Nothing plays until you tap Listen, and Stop keeps it quiet.
- The newest briefing waits at the top of For You, and a Morning Briefing notification at the time you pick opens it.
- Make your own plans: daily, weekly, on the days you pick, or every few hours when the news refreshes. Notify me tells you when one is ready.
- Country briefings first research that country's own outlets.

Translation in place, summaries from the whole article
- Translate replaces the headline, description and summary right in the story. Show Original switches back.
- Summaries are built from the full article, not the feed teaser.
- With Apple Intelligence on a supported iPhone, Apple's on-device model writes them - nothing leaves your device.
- When a translation can't be made, WillaNews says why.

Also new
- A quick setup on first launch: your country and topics.
- Settings shows your Home Country - change it with the Country chip on Home.
- Summary Style offers four clear presets.
- Tapping a notification opens the stories it names.
- Story buttons say what they do: Reader or Open in Safari.
- Every story names the outlet that wrote it - Google News stories too - with a country flag.
- Story clusters group only coverage of the same event and count each outlet once, and "Also in" shows how outlets in other countries cover the same story.
- Export Saved as Markdown or CSV. Saved's overview opens your latest briefing.
- Summaries of Saved groups, clusters and Home's feed open as one report to copy, edit, share or hear.
- Briefings and Saved summaries can include all stories, not just 5, 8 or 12.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-22

Your country, two ways. Home Country can now show the stories about your country, not only the outlets based there. Choose "Stories about it" in Settings and WillaNews keeps every story about your country - from its own outlets and from the international outlets WillaNews follows. Add a topic to narrow it: pick Brazil and Business, and you get Brazil's economy as the world reports it, not a Brazilian paper's report on markets abroad. The Country chip shows which view you're in, countries you follow in For You work the same way, and when there's little to read, WillaNews says so and offers the other view in one tap. Turn on "Also search the web" to add coverage from beyond WillaNews's own list of outlets.

Story clusters, rebuilt. Related stories are grouped far more accurately: one event, reported by several outlets, from the last 48 hours. Each story shows who covered it and from which countries, a timeline from first report to latest, the bias mix, the names more than one outlet mentions, and a one-tap summary drawn from the articles themselves. Every article in it can be followed, tagged and opened in the reader.

Search goes further. Filter by country, sort by best match or newest, and press return to search the web for stories your feeds don't carry. Turn any search into an alert with Alert Me, start from trending topics, and follow or tag stories straight from the results.

Saved, at a glance. A new overview shows how many stories you've saved, how many are still unread and how many are kept for offline reading, with your top countries, topics and tags. Digest gives you a one-tap summary of what you saved in the last 7 days. The Country, Topic and Tag filters now take several picks at once, and unread stories carry a blue dot.

Also:
- Notifications from your follows now stack in Notification Center instead of replacing each other
- Expanded stories stay tidy when a feed sends the whole article as its description

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-05

100+ countries of real local news. Home's new Country chip switches to each country's own newspapers and broadcasters - over 350 feeds, from N1 and Nova.rs to Le Monde, Tagesschau, Anadolu, Haaretz and Hankyoreh.

For You is yours. Follow a source, a topic or a whole country from any story; For You shows only what you follow, newest first. Edit For You keeps the list in one place, and you can get a notification when new stories from your follows arrive.

Saved, organized. Hold the bookmark to add tags, group saved stories by country, topic or tag, filter and search them, select several at once, and summarize a whole group in one tap. Saved stories keep an offline copy.

Signed-in publishers now open in full from every feed, marked with a green dot.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-01

Smarter summaries. Tap any story and WillaNews now reads the article itself and pulls out the key sentences
