What Users Are Saying
Join thousands of happy readers
Shorts transformed my morning routine. Instead of mindlessly scrolling Instagram, I now read 10-15 news stories while having coffee. Game changer!
The streak system keeps me coming back every day. I'm on a 45-day streak and feel more informed than ever. Love the gamification!
Perfect for my busy schedule. I can stay updated on current events between classes. The 30-second format is brilliant.
Finally, an app that makes news consumption enjoyable. The interface is addictive in the best way possible.
As a writer, I need to stay on top of trends. Shorts helps me do that effortlessly. Highly recommend!
Beautiful design and intuitive UX. This is how news apps should work. I've deleted all other news apps.
