Newsy (which is a ‘multi-source video news service producing daily videos for web and mobile devices’) has debuted a new version of its free iPhone app. Newsy is the only news service that analyzes the key differences in how a story is being reported by various news organizations around the world.
Version 1.5 of the app features a ‘Sources’ button that enables easy access to the specific news stories analyzed in a Newsy video – with just a click, users are seamlessly connected to story-level pages so they can further research the topics that matter most to them. Once a video completes playing, a ’Sources’ button appears next to the ‘Share’ and ‘Comment’ buttons. As with the first version of the app, user comments made via iPhones and iTouches are synced instantaneously with the Newsy.com website.
Version 1.0 of the Newsy app, released in September 2009, quickly ascended the list of free news apps in the App Store. As mentioned above, it’s USP is the fact that it analyses news from various angles, aiming to help users understand the nuances in news coverage.
