Yahoo Canada has launched the Canadian edition of Yahoo News Digest for both iOS and Android.
Yahoo News Digest delivers the most important news twice a day, right to users’ mobile devices. Not only can Canadians personalize their News Digest to see all the need-to-know news coming out of Canada, but they can also access the International version to get the latest headlines from around the world.
The Android version of the Yahoo News Digest was built specifically with a new homescreen widget that will display the most recent unread digest for easy viewing. Unlike other homescreen widgets, the Yahoo News Digest widget keeps track of the digests you’ve read and offers the same count down as in the app until your next digest is ready.
Every morning and night, Yahoo News Digest delivers a summarized version of the top news, in an easy-to-navigate design. Using algorithmic and human editorial curation, each story is a collection of “atoms” — articles, maps, Wikipedia entries, videos, and photos — that make it easy to “digest” the news quickly. The international edition is compiled by our editors in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Malaysia to offer round-the-clock updates. We then deliver a timely Digest at 8am and 6pm local time, wherever you are in the world.
