About this app

Meet an unfamiliar word? Just tap it.
Scan News helps you learn English through news that interests you. Read real articles, look up unfamiliar words in context, and collect them in your own vocabulary list.

READ NEWS THAT INTERESTS YOU
Explore English news sites, search for a topic, or enter a URL to open a page of your choice.

LOOK UP WORDS IN CONTEXT
Tap a word while reading to see its meaning. Choose your native language for matching dictionaries or translations. You can also select a sentence and edit it before looking it up.

BUILD YOUR OWN VOCABULARY
Sign in to save words with the sentences where you found them, and revisit them later in your vocabulary.

KEEP YOUR LEARNING IN ONE PLACE
My learning brings together your recently saved words, bookmarks, and reading in progress. Reading history is optional and off by default; turn it off or clear it whenever you choose. Restoring your reading position depends on the website.

SAVE CONTENT FOR LATER
Sign in to bookmark pages and return to them when you're ready.

READ YOUR WAY
Choose a light, dark, or system theme and adjust the text size for comfortable reading.

dictionary area needs cropping of unnecessary bar of searched word alongwith the status bar of the name of the dictionary.In a nutshell, it should only tell the meaning,nothing else than that. Alongside the time span for the black popup should be allowed extension
