Big News blends your newsletters and feeds together into one super-smart reading experience. - Combine newsletters and RSS feeds together - Get your very own @bignews.app email address - Sort stories by the day's biggest news - Enjoy a beautiful fullscreen, distraction-free reading experience - Realtime push notifications from your favourite channels - Add the news to your home screen with our Widgets - Search hundreds of thousands of stories in a snap One place for your newsletters and feeds: Big News combines different sources from across the web – like newsletters and RSS feeds – into one unified reading experience. So it doesn't matter what you're reading, or where it's from, you can find it all in Big News. An email address just for newsletters: With your very own @bignews.app email address, newsletters skip your regular inbox and instead are sent directly to Big News. That means less stuff mixed in with your daily emails and more great reads for when you want them. Not just another inbox: We didn't want to create another list of things in an inbox to be managed. That's why Big News uses dozens of signals to intelligently prioritise the stories that matter to you today, all in one inviting layout. There's no endless pile of unread badges or month-old news. Just the Big News, today. Sources you already know and trust: Add your existing newsletters and feeds to Big News in just a few taps. Plus, the Big News directory contains hundreds of channels, so you're sure to find the sites and newsletters you already love – as well as discover something altogether new. RSS. SMTP. OMG: We built Big News upon the open standards of the web – like RSS and SMTP – so it already works with thousands of sources today, as well as thousands more in the future. And now for the legal bits: Payment will be charged on either a monthly or annual basis to your Apple ID account. Your monthly or annual subscription automatically renews unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. For our full Terms of Service please visit: https://bignews.app/terms.

Almost Perfect

The UI is fantastic. I love how easy it is to discover and add feeds to follow. The auto-categorization of articles works really well. I also really enjoy that you get an email so you can add newsletters as well as RSS feeds.That being said, I think it’s missing some key features:- There’s no ability to mark articles as read- You can import feeds, but can’t export themOverall though, this is a really beautiful RSS app.

The best news app I’ve ever used

I’ve downloaded almost every news aggregator app out there and there always seems to be something frustrating or missing about them. Not Big News. This is easily the best news aggregator app and it allows to customize the sources I want to follow. Do yourself a favor and subscribe!

The design Is top notch and the feel is buttery smooth navigating between articles. The use of cards is a welcome change from lists and really lets you focus on a single headline at a time.Highly recommend this app!

Pretty good, but can’t be my everyday…

RSS app until there is an app option to change the “startup default tab” away from “today” to “following.” I don’t want the categories, I just want the latest stories. Until then it’s just nice to occasionally use. Add the app option and move from 3 stars to 5 stars, easily.

Hello! It's been a minute, hasn't it? We've been working on some improvements to Big News that we think you'll really like: - A new redesigned app icon that supports iOS 18 tinting and dark mode. - We completely reworked story thumbnails to support even more feeds; more thumbnails for even more stories. - You can now quickly filter stories and channels in the Following and Bookmarks tab. We've also made a number of changes to improve feed refresh times and overall service reliability. Thanks for using Big News!
