Keeping up with the news can be a major bummer. It’s far too easy to get sucked into a black hole of doom and gloom — and far too difficult to escape. There are simply too many sources to get your news from these days. Even Twitter prides itself on being a breaking news outlet now. 

When you get tired of endlessly burying your face in your phone, Newsly — a mobile app startup from Canada — offers a welcomed alternative. Rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on the App Store and 4.3 out of 5 stars on Google Play, Newsly provides an audio-first way to get updates on your favourite topics, like technology, business, sports, or health. Just pop in your earbuds and get caught up on the latest stories while you commute, work out, cook, or relax.

Newsly gathers the top trending web articles from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Colombia 24/7 and reads them to you in a natural human voice. It also offers trending podcasts from around the world in 13 different categories.

You’re in charge of the content you receive. 

If you want to stay up to date on what’s going on in the world each day, you can hit “play all” and Newsly will cycle through all the top trending articles of the day.
