The positive buzz about the Newsy for iPad app continues daily in articles, blog entries and social networks - of course we love hearing about the aspects of the Newsy app people appreciate most.
Ranging from the app’s ‘bite-sized portions of news’ for quick consumption, to the easy sharing of videos on Twitter and Facebook, to the ability to leave comments and create your own custom newscast with our playlist feature - it’s clear we have met our users’ wants for mobile video news.
In fact, out of top ranked news apps in the App Store, Newsy is more highly rated than some of the biggest names in news (USAToday, BBC and WSJ) - and on par with NPR - not bad for a startup!
We got this far by analyzing mobile news consumptions trends but more importantly by listening to our users about what they want. Currently we are working on our next version for the app - so please keep the ideas coming! Email webfeedback@newsy.com, leave a comment here or on the Newsy page on Facebook, or reach out through Twitter. We are taking all ideas into consideration!
Here’s some of the positive press about the Newsy for iPad app from just the last few days:
