News Room

News Room makes it easy to stay updated with the latest news, even without looking at your phone. It will check your news feeds and speak then out loud. If you are using Apple headphones the button can be used to start, pause and skip news stories, just as the button can be used to play, pause and skip tracks when listening to music.

Controlling the News sources

News Room allows you to control the news sources, supporting RSS and Atom news feeds. Open the app and go to the Feeds screen where you can type in the link for a news feed to add. If you type in the link of a regular website, News Room will try to determine which feeds are available. You can also use feedly to synchronize your feed subscriptions and keep track of which news stories you have already heard or read before as you switch between applications and devices.

The future of News Room

We are currently working to News Room on the following areas:
  • abbreviations should be expanded when spoken out
  • nicer on-screen presentation of news stories
  • better performance for users with lots of news sources
Drop us a email to tell us how you think News Room could be improved.
