Yahoo News Digest provides a definitive summary of all the important, need-to-know news. Digests are delivered twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. All the top stories are summarized and presented with the key information that you need to stay on top of what’s happening.

Each story is created from multiple sources to present the essential bits and pieces of information, known as “Atoms”. Atoms are key quotes, images, videos, stock tickers, maps, infographs, and Wikipedia excerpts among others. These atomic units provide a unique context to the news. Our stories are both algorithmically and hand curated to ensure high quality, and come with a textual summary.

In addition, we have extended this paradigm for the Apple Watch to deliver top-of-the-hour news bulletins. These bulletins are designed with the Yahoo News Digests minimalist and modernists attitude. A bulletin begins with a beautiful, geometric poster which signifies the hour using Roman numeral accents, color and diagonal accents. The view is simple with just a graphic and concise headline. The bulletin itself is composed three simple but important screens. We offer the user a two sentence microsummary, a visual piece of information we call an "atom" eg map/stock ticker/stat, and then the ability for the user to speed read further information.

Yahoo News Digest makes your reading experience comprehensive, effortless, and complete, and is customized for both iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. If you get your News Digest on an iPad, you’ll also enjoy a weekly Katie Couric video show, the ability to customize when you receive your news and, in the US edition, extra news categories called Sections which include atomized stories on a whole range of topics.

We are committed to building the best mobile experience and are interested in your feedback.

Pros and cons of Yahoo News Digest app for iPhone and iPad

Yahoo News Digest app good for

I am a news junkie, if I could I would watch news programs all day long. But since I cant do that its nice to get the highlights of the day twice each day.

Its convenience and general factual approach is convenient and trustworthy.

I rarely write app reviews, but I just had to for this one. I absolutely LOVE the fact that twice a day it gives me a brief overview of the days top news stories in a smartly laid out interface. I dropped all of my other news apps except for this one!

Great little app but please add slide-to-close gesture for photo galleries. Its hard to tap on the x with one hand.

Just stated this site . I see there is a lot of news . I read the news all the time. Thank you!

Its not the NY Times, but a quick look at the current items making headlines. I like it.

Some bad moments

"Something has happened but well be back soon" is all I ever see.

USE THE NATIVE SHARE MENU. you can only share by email, Twitter of Facebook. how defeating is that. lots of fake reviews here too.. shameful.

I want news, not entertainment drivel, if I cant amend the stream to eliminate celebrity nonsense, I will stop opening this time wasting app.

Love the app, but its been broken for awhile. Now it wont even load any news.

Great when it works. But can expect an "Oops something happened" over several days a week. Youd think by now Yahoo would have figured out a fix for this. Such an irritant thats why only 1 star.

Im deleting this app after one too many anti-Bernie Sanders political posts included in the digest as if it were unbiased news. Yahoo is not one iota better than Fox News in this regard. Going elsewhere for my news and telling others to do the same.
