NewsPlay AI
Your AI news brief, read aloud
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: search the news for any topic and follow it in its own tab. Plus Trending, a natural Chinese voice, and 10 built-in natural voices.
NewsPlay AI turns the sources you follow into a daily news brief you can listen to or read, on iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. Pick from suggested sources, follow local newspapers and TV stations, or add any RSS feed, and natural voices read the latest stories aloud. Search the news for any topic and follow it in its own tab.
LISTEN OR READ
• Your brief plays like a podcast made for you
• A mini player stays on every screen: play, pause, or skip to the next story
• The full player has a scrubber, playback speed, AirPlay, and a sleep timer
• Read along: the paragraph being read is highlighted as the voice reads it
FOLLOW ANY TOPIC
• Search the news for anything (a company, a team, "electric cars") across hundreds of trusted sources
• Add a search as its own tab: every new story that mentions it shows up there and in your brief
• Leave out words you don't want, and choose which tabs are read in your brief
• Trending: see the names everyone is talking about right now, and tap one to search it
YOUR SOURCES, YOUR WAY
• Suggested sources across world, politics, business, tech, science, health, sports, and entertainment
• Local news: newspapers and TV stations near your town, or any city you choose
• Add any RSS or Atom feed: news sites, blogs, newsletters
• Topics in tabs you can reorder, newest stories first
FULL ARTICLES
• Open any story to read the full article, with its source named on every story
• Save stories to read or listen to later
• On iPad and iPhone Duo, your stories sit beside the article you're reading
DESIGNED FOR EVERY DAY
• 10 natural voices built into the app, each with its own style, that run on your iPhone, free and offline
• A natural Chinese voice for stories in Chinese (a one-time download)
• Or use Apple's enhanced on-device voices
• Light and dark mode
• Sign in with Apple, no passwords
• Report a problem or send feedback right from the app
