Particle News for iPhone

Quick intro to Particle News for iPhone

Particle News is a no-cost, education-focused app for iPhone that makes keeping up with current events simple. It tailors the news stream to each user so they see updates that match their interests, and it’s built to make headlines easier to understand quickly.

Customization and alerts

• Follow the people, places, and topics that matter to you to shape your personal feed.
• Receive immediate push alerts when something important breaks about a followed subject.

Ways the app simplifies stories

• Summaries that use the classic "5 Ws" approach (who, what, when, where, why) for quick facts.
• Versions written to be extremely plain and approachable, similar to an “explain like I’m five” style.
• Visual political-position indicators that map where coverage sits across the spectrum.
• Briefs that present differing viewpoints side by side so you can see contrasting takes on the same story.

Interactive and hands-free features

• Listen to curated news streams when you’re on the go.
• Get a concise roundup of the day’s top stories in a single daily digest.
• Ask follow-up questions about an article to dig deeper into the details.
