Shorty News
Introduction
Shorty News collects the lastest news from 90 popular news sources in 11 countries and bundles this for you in one place.
You can then select them and read or save them on your device.
It subdivides Shorty News into four sections -
Advantages
No subscription - all free
Shorty News is based on RSS feeds that the news sources offer. Everything is free and you don't have to transact a subscription with any news source.
No advertising with the detailed view
We all know that. Advertising - Everywhere, everytime. It's annoying! So I have tackled the matter and I develop the solution - the News Reader by Shortycuts in Shortcuts, the alternative way is the Safari Reader, which is also available here.
Privacy and Secutity
The private and data-safe use of Shortycuts's users are guaranteed here as well. Shortycuts will never track your data and save it without your permission
News Bundle
News Bundle scours well-known news sources in eleven countries currently. The most recent articles will then be played back to you in an unique vCard menu. You can choose one article and read it with Shortycuts' reader, save it for later, or visit its website.
Browse
Browse focuses on every news source we offer from your region. If you select a news source, you will be offered up to 30 current articles from its RSS feed.
Topics
Browse - Browse offers you the opportunity to read articles about a specific topic, but without saving it on your personal Topic favourite list
Add - Here you can add new topics you want to follow to your topic favourite list.
Delete - The opposite of Add is surely Delete. You can delete a topic you don't want to follow anymore from your favourite list here.
The Search mechanism
The search mechanism of Topics is simple to understand:
If you search articles about your topic (or keyword), Shorty News will search every news source in your region and its 5 lastest articles. If your topic will be detected in the summary of the news article, Shorty News will suggest you it. If not, then nothing happens.
Save
Save is a wonderful way to save news articles offline. If you've found something appealing, you can save it and access it later, even when you're offline.
Finished reading articles - Offline saved news articles will be shown here. You have the access to every saved article everywhere and everytime until you delete it from your Shorty News Save Gallery
Delete news articles - You can delete your saved news articles here, but attention: If an article is deleted, it will be diffcult to find it again
Shorty News' Reader
Personal. Unique. Beautiful.
After you select your article, Shorty News will show yor article in four different designs and in five different fonts, which of course you've already configured beforehand. This will make reading more comfortable.
Change font size With Shorty News 2.0 it is possible to change the font size within reading. The sizes are between 13pt and 40pt.
Change reader design - With Shorty News 2.0 it is also possible to switch the design while you're reading
But it is important to know that these changes will keep temporarily. The opportunity to keep the changes is going to be implemented soon.
