For
those who haven’t heard, an app from Yahoo was released exclusively for iOS
devices called “Yahoo News Digest”. Yahoo News Digest is a news app that gives
you news whenever you want to access it. However, what stands out from this app
is that these news articles are basically summaries that you can read on your
phone about the top story of the day. In addition, it has a vibrant color that
makes it feel warm when you use the app. While you read the top story
headlines, there is a countdown clock on the app that will tell you when the “Morning
Digest” or the “Evening Digest” will be released on the app. It is a useful
tool because news stories can change throughout the entire day and people who
want to be up to date on what is going on can read these digests. The word “digest”
is the key word when you use this app because it helps people who use the app
easy to understand and user-friendly. This is a stark contrast to the Yahoo
News on their main page. Yahoo News, on the other hand will give news on all topics
throughout the entire day. In addition, one can access the articles on the web
or on a mobile device (which is not exclusive to Apple devices. It can also be
used on Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone). The similarities between the
two news mediums are that they are both owned by Yahoo and will give consumers
their “news of the day” story in addition to having every sub-section of the
news. The major difference is that Digest uses more pictures to give a visual
look while the main page uses more words.
