About

Polvio

Features
Read full description

Polvio shows you what is actually on the political agenda, not what an algorithm thinks you’ll click. TRENDING, DECIDED BY COVERAGE A story reaches Trending only when several independent outlets are covering it. For each one you see the outlets behind it, when it entered the agenda and when it was last updated, along with a clear title and a short AI-written brief in your language. Pick a country (Türkiye, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Argentina or the Arab world) or follow all of them at once. HEADLINES, ONE STORY AT A TIME Open the full-screen reader and swipe through today’s stories one by one, each with the newest articles from the outlets covering it. Reached the end? Pull up to bring back the stories that have dropped off the agenda, and see how long each one lasted. TALK ABOUT IT Every story has its own discussion. Like it, join the thread, share it with a link anyone can open, or save it for later. POLITICIANS, IN YOUR LANGUAGE Profiles for thousands of politicians, with biography, party, role and social links, in Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish, Arabic and Italian. Follow the people you care about and keep up with the coverage around them. MADE FOR YOU Tell Polvio which topics matter to you and where you stand, and it shapes what you see. Turn on notifications and you’ll hear about the biggest stories in your country, a couple of times a day at most and never in the middle of the night. POLVIO PREMIUM Premium removes every ad, everywhere in the app. It also unlocks the answers to every Trending question, written by AI only from the outlets that covered the story (the questions themselves are free to read). You get recent X posts from politicians whose X account we have on file, with optional alerts for new posts from the ones you follow, and you can follow up to 500 politicians instead of the free plan’s 3. And as long as you keep opening Polvio, a personal AI briefing on the countries and topics you pick is waiting every morning, plus a weekly one on Sundays, written in your app’s language. Polvio Premium is a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings at any time. Privacy Policy: https://polvio.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://polvio.app/terms
