Yahoo News Digest App Reviews

Twice daily you get a summary of the top stories from around the world. Real news, from credible sources, is packaged and presented to you in a slick app.

The app is very odd. Trying too hard for a new look, but unusable to me. 1st time I used it few months back, I used it once and got out due to frustration. 2nd time was today, same result. Why not keep it simple like the cnn or USA today app for news. Simple blocks of news to choose from and glance at. Keep it simple.

Attractive layout and easy to scroll through the top news items of the moment; however, its not nearly extensive as the (dare I say it?) Fox News app. I use both.

Nice clean and streamlined info tool..

I read it twice a day! Great app.

I look forward to the timely updates every morning and evening. The stories provides are a nice cross section of news items that are relevant and concise.

I use it everyday to get an overview of whats going

I like it. It is informative and fun to use. The interface is slick.

This is a quick & easy read that gets my day started & wrapped up. And its free! I read newspapers when I have time for that luxury but pick up most of my news on the net. This app helps me learn what to search further for. Thanks!

Brief snapshots of the events of the day. Perfect to keep informed.

First I get all the editorialized news from Drudge because the variety makes for entertaining reading. Then I look to Yahoo for the recap of "hard news" for contrast. Two different views. Not sure why the Twitter posts. They do nothing for me. Overall well organized with "just the facts, maam".

The only online news I read. The articles are clear, concise, and include all pertinent data, without going on for hours.

I like the format of this app. Easy to read, keeps me well informed. I recommend it.

I read every story every time they change and appreciate the balance and the links where I can go to delve deeper. A secret pleasure is watching the dots representing the stories collide prior to giving me the quote of the day.

Love this app! This informs me about things that are happening right now - today. Great way to get the news at a glance. Then I can dig deeper on the issues of interest.

Good news snips across the basic news categories. Just the right amount of info, photos without taking time to load. The links are accurate.

I originally downloaded this app because it was beautiful, informative, and made excellent use of the technology I studied in graduate school. After almost daily use over roughly three years, Im sad to see the state it is in. Automatic summaries are guaranteed to have errors but luckily we have human curators to catch them. However, lately I have noticed many more errors: duplicate sentences, contradictory sentences, and missed closing quotation marks. Im not optimistic it will improve and am moving on in search of a better, but still digestible news app.

This is my only news app with the exception of my local paper and the New York Times. I like to be informed it there are several issues. The articles have poor editorial review so you can find spelling and grammar mistakes particularly in articles from foreign speakers. They really should work on that. There is also a disconnect between side articles about the main article that can border on crazy. They may have an article on Steve McQueen the politico and invite you to learn more about Steve McQueen, the actor. Finally my guess is that most people who read a digest like this is time but mostly the crazy community of liberals, conservatives and full on crazy people. It can be funny and frustrating. The most frustrating can be no feedback from yahoo when someone really goes off the rails. If you see(read)something wrong say something? Well that goes for sites like this. I wonder if some terrorist put it out on line plans to commit terror, could that person be stopped by someone sending "a flag"?Yahoo is very hazy about this. There should be feedback or maybe even a yahoo agent that can have an opinion but be aware some trolls are NOT harmless. I know there are others who face the same. If you mute someone it should be mutual. My stalker continues to follow and comment on my posts even though I cant read their post. Only yahoo can fix this ...if they can blank out words like V---na (difficult when you are in a forum speaking about gynecology) ...they can pay more attention to THEIR community!

This news app keeps me intelligently informed about need that really matter to me the most. Five stars baby!!!

Great user experience- graphics-content-and just the right a out of information to keep you informed. Awesome!
