The company Apple took advantage of the event WWDC2015, its fair for developers, to present some important news Among them is the application News A new tool that many have already compared with the well-known Flipboard both in the field of functionality, serving as news reader and aggregator , but also visual And News is committed to capturing users through their eyes, with an attractive design and a own format, although without doing flip every time you jump from one news item to another.
It is an information application that collects the main sources of information so that the user only has to decide which topics and categories they would like to receive. Thus, media such as Condé Nast, ESPN, The New York Times, Hearst, Time, CNN and Bloomberg, among many others, are already collaborating to provide information This application. With this Apple makes sure to serve users with a wide amount of information on different genres, and posts make sure to reach users through the mobile platforms.
Now, News will be available on iOS 9, the new version of the operating system of Apple presented during the same event, so we will still have to wait until October before tasting the honey of this application.A tool that presumes to be private, keeping the interests of the user safe to prevent other services from Apple , applications or third parties know your inclinations, settings or any information of who uses this tool.
In News the user can subscribe to the different channels of each medium or even search for specific topics. As it could not be otherwise, the application will allow the user to bookmark any content to read later with all comfort. But the most remarkable thing is that the user will be able to add their own content beyond the sources and channels that the application already brings with it. All of this respecting the visual format developed by Apple, which is especially colorful and comfortable for reading, regardless of whether it is in iPhone or iPadAll this interspersing images and text, and supporting videos Something that makes the pieces of information are complete and meet the information needs of the user without having to access the Internet browser or leave News
The bad news arrives around its release. And it is that News will arrive from October, but only in English and for the markets American, Australian and UK That is, for Anglo-Saxons So inSpain There is still no definitive date, having to wait a little longer until they reach agreements with localized publications. In short, a very attractive and capable news application that is inevitably reminiscent of Flipboard, although it does not have the experience and possibilities of this one.The question is whether it will succeed after seeing how Flipboard itself has lost steam in recent months. Will Apple users prefer to read the news through News instead ofsocial networks How has it been a trend? As of October we will know.
