The world's front pages, as each country's own newspapers print them. The Front Page brings together 760+ newspapers and 220+ TV news channels from 125 countries. You read each country's news from its own press, not through a feed that a single outlet chose for you. It's free, has no ads, and needs no account. FRONT PAGES Swipe from country to country and see what each paper is leading with right now, in the order its editors chose. Non-English headlines are translated automatically, and one tap switches between the translation and the original. Follow the countries you care about and they come first. LAST HOUR A live world map of the news. Dots light up wherever papers have published in the past hour, with the local time and day or night shown on the map. Tap a country to see its latest headlines and video, then go straight to its front page or its TV news. WATCH Thousands of short news clips from the last 72 hours, from local broadcasters around the world. Pick a country and you start with its own channels. Turn on Non-stop TV and clips play one after another, like a news channel. Group clips by channel or topic, or pick one channel from the list. Upright clips play large, and turning your phone gives you full-screen video with the controls kept beside it. COUNTRIES Every country in one place, grouped by region and searchable. Follow the ones you want, and choose which tab the app opens on. MADE FOR READING • Light and dark modes, or follow your system setting • Three newspaper styles: Clean, Morning Paper and Aged Broadsheet • Tap a headline to read the full article on the paper's own site • Updated every 2 hours PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no sponsored content, no affiliate links • No accounts or sign-up • No analytics or tracking in the app • What you follow and read stays on your device, and you can clear it any time • Videos play through YouTube's standard player, and articles open on the publisher's own site WHY No engagement tricks and no "you might also like". Just the world's news, country by country, from the papers and broadcasters people there actually read and watch. Sources come from an open, community-maintained list. The Front Page is free, and always will be: no ads, no paywalls.
