This is the best app for news – New Technology


     “Services like Flipboard, Prismatic and Yahoo News Digest means no more competition when the apps are neither good at Swedish or something on the Swedish media,” says Omni’s founder and chief editor Markus Gustafsson. “But many of them have inspired us both in terms of interfaces and individual characteristics.”

A clear trend is apps that collect and select news from all sides. New Technology have found a clear winner: American Flipboard.

The most important technology news, you will find every day on NyTeknik. see. But there are other options too to keep track of the world.

Every morning it plinga to your mobile phone. A summary of the news’re done reading, compiled by apps CIRCA or Yahoo News Digest. Instead of browsing around online and look for yourself, you’ve got the headlines served on a silver platter.

Nätredaktör is the title of the working with a news editorial web edition. But the word can also be given a broader sense: In mobile phone shops are at least a dozen apps that take a kind of editor responsible for everything that is published online.

Human editors collaborate with algorithms to serve a selection of texts. But although there are many similarities between apps Ny Teknik tested are also some fundamental differences.

Twice each day refreshed content with summaries of and links to further reading about the most important news. The stated ambition is to give the user the hen need to know.

In the other corner are Zite and Prismatic. With large parts of the network as the source is an automatic selection of items that the user is likely to be interested in. The algorithms learn gradually, among other things, by following which articles hen read and agree further.

On Swedish and Swedish news is Omni , an initiative from Schibsted, just over a year old. The app can be described as a cross between Yahoo News Digest and Zite. The Omni is a tab for the top news and the latest news, and users have been given the opportunity to influence how the news mix in the app should look like. Are you not a bit interested in entertainment articles, you can turn them off completely, and are you satisfied with the top international news can also be arranged.

Flipboard is one of the true veterans of the context. In particular, the tablet gives it a very magazine-like experience, where users choose which sources you want to follow. The company also bought Zite earlier this year for US users have algorithms that underlie the selection of the app already taken place in Flipboard.

But best mix is ​​achieved by using several of these apps – one that delivers the most important news and one that highlights what you are interested in.

Do you even though it still only have one app to keep track of is Flipboard is the best option.
