BetterNews Reader vs Safe & Informed

BetterNews is a quiet, fast news reader. Point it at the sites you already read, and it gathers their headlines into one list — no account, no algorithm deciding what you see, and no advertising. ADD ANY SITE Paste a site's address and BetterNews finds its feed for you. Point it at a section like supersport.com/rugby and you get that section, not the whole site. If a site publishes no feed at all, BetterNews reads the page itself and builds one. SORT IT YOUR WAY File each site under Tech, World, Sport, Finance or General, then tap a section to filter the list. Everything stays in the order it was published — newest first, always. READ THE ARTICLE, NOT THE PAGE Open a story and BetterNews shows the text and the full-resolution lead image, without the pop-ups, cookie banners and newsletter overlays. The original page is one tap away whenever you want it. BUILT FOR IPAD On iPad the list becomes a grid — two columns in portrait, four in landscape — with artwork shown at its own proportions rather than cropped to fit a box. YOUR SETTINGS FOLLOW YOU Your list of sites is stored in your own iCloud Drive, under Apps/BettrNews, as a plain readable file. Add a site on the iPad and it appears on the iPhone. It is your file: you can open it, back it up, or edit it yourself. LIGHT OR DARK, YOUR CHOICE Follow the system appearance or pin the app to light or dark. The setting is per device, so your iPhone and iPad can differ. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account to create. No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs of any kind. BetterNews talks to the sites you have added and to your own iCloud Drive — nothing else. Headlines and summaries already fetched stay readable when you lose signal.

Safe & Informed is a news reader you can listen to. You pick the sources and the app reads them to you, on screen or aloud, and in the car through CarPlay. YOUR SOURCES • Add any RSS feed, or start from the community directory. • Found a site in Safari? Share it to Safe & Informed and the feed is added. • Organise feeds into categories and subcategories. • Import your feeds from another reader (OPML or Excel). • Recommendations are computed on your device. Nothing in your feed is paid for or picked by someone else. LISTEN ANYWHERE • Read-aloud with the system voice: free, and it works offline. • A natural AI voice and AI summaries on Pro. • Radio turns a topic into a continuous station. • The Daily Briefing reads today's top stories and ends when you're caught up. • CarPlay: browse and play your feeds from the car screen. • Download articles and briefings for offline listening. READING • Reader view strips the clutter. • Magazine view opens photo-rich feeds as a cover, a contents page and full-screen spreads. • Coverage lines up how different outlets headline the same story. • Podcasts next to your news. • 22 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew, plus on-device translation of articles. • Adjustable text size, light and dark themes.

The advertising identifier is never used to track you. • AI summaries and the AI voice receive only the article text, with nothing that identifies you. Discover and Ask send your interests to an AI provider, so the app asks for your permission first. PLANS • Free: system voice, with contextual ads. • No Ads: the free app without advertising. • Pro: natural AI voice, AI summaries, Radio, Daily Briefing, Discover and 150 AI-voice plays a month. Extra credits are available as top-ups and never expire.
