The Saga News app is a companion app to the story-centric newsroom tool, Saga. The app offers the journalist chat functionality, instant notifications and an overview of tasks, options to upload media and browse and edit stories, pitches and rundown instances.
Saga runs in the cloud, equipping journalists with one unified tool for all platforms, including planning, creating and publishing stories to a TV-rundown, CMS web solution and social media channels.
An existing Saga account is required to use the app.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

What's new
• Notifications, rebuilt: push and in-app notifications have been reworked to be faster and more reliable, are now grouped into sections, and tapping one takes you straight to the right place.
• Team and Department details: new screens for viewing teams and departments.
• Linear instance permissions: whether you can edit a linear instance now follows your permissions (requires app restart).
• Better offline handling: notifications, stories, tasks, teams, departments and rundowns now tell you clearly when you're offline or something didn't load, and reload by themselves once you're back online.
Fixes
• The description you've entered is kept while creating a story or pitch.
• The description field is hidden when creating a story or pitch if your organization's settings require it.
• Rundown categories no longer show up empty.
• Notifications refresh correctly after you've read them.
• The organization picker can be scrolled again.
• The unread badge no longer cuts off large counts like "99+".
