Nosy News
Be the Reporter
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your neighborhood and world are full of stories. Be the one to tell them.
Nosy News is your local news reinvented, building on one another's input to produce the most accurate and fun reporting experience possible.
Every story that happens in your community — a big game, a council vote, road work, a business opening — deserves to be told by the people who were actually there.
DROP A REPORT
Post the first word on something happening near you. Add photos or video straight from the scene. One line or twenty — the story starts with you, and your neighbors build it from there.
ADD A DOODLE
Contribute context, photos, quotes, or on-the-ground details to stories others started. Your doodle becomes a permanent part of the community record.
VERIFY AND ATTEST
Been there? Confirm what's accurate. Seen something wrong? Flag it. The community builds the truth together, one doodle at a time.
GO LIVE WHILE YOU WRITE
Tap Live and write your story in real time as it unfolds. Readers follow along as you report — then you publish the final version when you're ready.
NOSY PAPERS
Create or follow a local paper for your school, sports team, neighborhood association, or parish group. Unlimited contributors, no cap. Papers collect every story filed in your community in one place.
NOSY MAGAZINES
Launch a local magazine, publish issues, and earn real revenue. Businesses in your community can book ads directly in the app — banner, full page, back cover — and pay on the spot with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card. You receive 80% of every booking automatically through Stripe.
NOSY JOURNALS
Build peer-reviewed community knowledge together. Submit sections, add peer-review doodles, and let the community validate what's accurate.
BUILD YOUR REP
Every story you file and every doodle you drop builds your Reporter Rep — a score that shows your community you show up.
HYPERLOCAL MEANS YOUR STREET
Nosy News filters stories by distance. You see what's happening in your actual neighborhood, not the next city over. Switch to Latest to see everything.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Newspaper Reader View — read a developed story like an old-fashioned paper. Serif headlines, dateline, drop cap, "with reporting by…" credits.
• One story, many builders — when neighbors drop doodles on a story, the AI folds them into a single, integrated narrative. No more reading a base post plus a list of comments.
• Repost — share another reporter's story to your followers, X-style.
• Primary-source documents — attach a PDF, scan, court filing, or agenda as evidence on any story. Renders with a "PRIMARY SOURCE" chip.
• Public Safety Bulletin — clearly-labeled mode for active community-safety reports (suspicious individual, missing person, person of interest).
• Lock as Final Edition — close a story to new contributions when it's done. Corrections still welcome.
• Pledge a coverage bounty — chip in $1–$25 to reward whoever covers a request you care about. Reporter gets 85%.
• Archive search — search every story on Nosy News, not just the latest 50.
• Launch a school paper, church bulletin, or clinical journal with the right photo policy for your community, and designate moderators to approve submissions.
• Email your magazine issue to subscribers, in one tap.
• Tighter photo safeguards — faces and license plates blurred by default, EXIF stripped, explicit content auto-blocked.
I'm building Nosy News on my own. Feedback: info@nosynews.com.
