Best Idea for a News App

This is the first news app to really target those who may not have the time to browse through hundreds of articles. It takes the great WSJ writing and cuts it down to brief, yet still detailed, summaries of everything you need to know thats going on right now.

The user interface makes it smooth and flow nicely. I love that theyve also included the top/relevant opinion articles as well as opposed to just the headlines. Lastly, it provides the best example of how articles can be shared via text. They share as a nice, aesthetically pleasing "button" (for lack of a better term) displaying the cover picture and headline for that article as opposed to that nasty, long hyperlink for most apps.

I still use my regular WSJ app when I have the time to browse articles, but definitely start off with this one in the morning so I dont miss any important news. Definitely recommend having and keeping both.

The only improvement I would add though is that with having both, I now get duplicate notifications for major headlines. Granted I could just turn off notifications for one, but there should be some integration between the apps.
