Yahoo has rolled out New Digest App on iPad that delivers twice daily digests, each consisting of eight to 12 stories based on the day’s biggest headlines.
The new version will also include a weekly video segment from anchor Katie Couric, recapping one news story from the past week. Yahoo launched the News Digest app in January this year. It is a product of Summly acquisition made by the company last year. The News Digest app was first available on iPhone and launched on Android later in May.
The app also brings a couple of additional features for the iPad. For starters, it has been optimized for a tablet and provides a beautiful landscape experience. Users can now customize the time of receiving the news update as per their convenience. They can choose anytime between 6am to 10am for the morning digest and 5pm to 9pm for their evening digest. Prior to this, these news updates came at a fixed time – 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Finally, after reading daily digest, users can further dig in for extra content on topics including technology and entertainment. You can download the Yahoo News Digest App for iPad from the Apple App Store.
