Yahoo News Digest
The company Yahoo is ready to retake its throne. Or, at least, to give people talk thanks to their latest movements. That is why it has had its own space at the electronics fair CES that is being held these days in Las Vegas , in the state of Nevada. A conference in which its manager, Marissa Mayer, has had time to explain its new direction and to show its new products. Among them is the application Yahoo News DigestA pleasant and simple way to be informed about everything important that has happened in the day, with only the effort of reviewing the summary of news that this tool proposes.
This is an information application. Something like a newsreader, but with a twist to focus on taking the user in a summarized, form, comfortable and very visual the most important thing of the day. In fact, Yahoo News Digest features two newscasts throughout the day, one in the morning and one in the evening. In this way, the user is not saturated by information from the media, presenting it in an orderly manner and at two different times of the day.
From Yahoo News Digest It's not just surprising in its concept. And it is that its visual section also attracts attention, being one of its strong points in order not to overwhelm the user who only wants to be aware of the most relevant.Thus, as soon as it starts, it shows a cover photo with the most relevant information, accompanied by a headline. Just slide your finger from bottom to top to access the rest of the news. A summary that allows us to know thanks to the headlines the different events of that half-day. All this distributed through a color code and icons that show the type of information.
And, if you want to expand said data, you just have to click on the desired information to read it. All these news come from different media, collected by the application team to present this news. The good thing is that, in addition to the text of the news, there is always additional content to help the user understand the information. Whether they are photos, graphs, tables or even videos All of this integrated into the application so you don't have to leave it and that its use is really comfortable.It also has gestures to jump from one complete piece of information to another, all with very attractive animations and visual effects.
Another noteworthy point is that in each newscast, up to nine news items are presented from different fields such as politics, the economy, entertainment or technology, among othersThus, upon reaching the end of said news list, a counter indicates how many of them have been read, urging the user to wait for the next newsletter if all the information has been consulted.
In short, a curious application for those who don't have time to look for their own news, or who just want to have an informative summary of the day without much effort. All this with a extremely careful visual aspect and fluid operation.
