We believe that the news of your interest should find you, not vice versa. So we created the first app with the concept of news delivery. You say what subjects interest you and we push it to you. So simple. Check the Top 4 main features: 1) Delivery news: You customize what subjects you want to receive pushes on your cellphone. Breaking News everyone receives. 2) Instead of long texts, you have the lead and brief news, ideal for reading on smartphones. 3) Visually clean and without advertisements, so your focus is only what it matters: the news. 4) You are notified when the news arrives and you can read it immediately, without waiting for downloads. Differential While traditional apps simply republish what is reported in the major online media outlets, we bet on the human touch as an ally of the technology. How it works? Our team of Trustees monitors the Internet, radio and TV, basing what is relevant and translated if necessary. The AppNews Delivery takes care that the news comes on your smartphone. AppNews – The news that goes where you are.
