Best news app around The more I use recent, the less I see articles that do not interest me. I tried nuzzel but found I what my friends on twitter post is not always the same as what I consider "news", just what the people I follow happen to be posting. This is a news feed (from major sources) better tailored to my concept of " what's happening in areas that interest me in the world".

Source is Important, updates nonexistent All format views should include the article source in the main list of articles. Important to consider the source when selecting which stories to read. No Material Design dark theme implemented, so done with that, devs. Needs a home screen widget. Dead app.

Love the article quality and that it search's for them by how recency and relevance they are rather than just how relevant they are to my interests. UI is a bit clunky and laggy atm, though. Great potential and hope I can use it to replace Zite one day

Great app for people curious about the world This is a good way to see a wide sampling of news from around the world. It's not great at finding big new events, but I like it a lot.

Awful spam I tried the app because Prismatic closed its service but this is awful. I try to follow very specific topics and instead get loads of nonsense from Samsung and Amazon. Even after clicking on "not interested" I get the same stories I don't want. I'm not even following these companies yet they full up 50-70% of the recommendations. No thanks!

Impressed with AI Recommendation Not very much local. It concentrates on international or US regions. India has to be followed as a topic rather than usual news. Please improve Recommendations also based on Region. It's a good app and i would like to see improvements.

Hi modus,
Thanks for the suggestions. You can always send an email to feedback@recent.io to send us suggestions about the app!
The dark theme is in development already! Love the article quality and that it search's for them by how recency and relevance they are rather than just how relevant they are to my interests. UI is a bit clunky and laggy atm, though. Great potential and hope I can use it to replace Zite one day

WOW THIS IS GREAT! I moved to a Nexus 6p & missed my HTC Blink News Feeds SO MUCH, but this app is SO FANTASTIC I AM happy 😊 as a lark! Well done folks, KUDOS 2U!

Hi Gabriel,
We are glad to hear that you like Recent News. Thanks for the great review! Promising successor to Zite Interface a bit clunky still, but already a very promising successor to Zite. Would be great if scrolling was a bit smoother and if 'read more' would not redirect to an external site - but recommended article quality is very high.
Film-maker jrt Perfect for when I'm sitting around and when I keep up with what's going on in the world. Better coverage than watching TV.
I like it Is good but need more news sources. I can see so many USA sources which are not interesting to me.

Recent News is dedicated to US News mostly. It's useful This app really does a great job at helping me sort out those news I'd like to read
Best app for news and information Can media Inc make a football game exactly like fifa 16
Great app. The more you use Recent, the better it gets, showing you the news you're interested in without distraction. Recommended!

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your great review! This is how Recent News is supposed to work! Half news Why can't you share complete articles??? It's really annoying
It is OK for now. It is still early days for me ,but it is working OK so far.
