"It’s super simple and a real breath of fresh air." —TechCrunch
"This is the future of mobile news, as Quartz envisions it." —Wired
Quartz's news app puts the entire global economy in your pocket.
It's an ongoing conversation about the news, sort of like texting. We'll send you messages, photos, GIFs, and links, and you can decide when you're interested in reading more. Each session lasts just a few minutes, so it's perfect for the train, elevator, grocery store line, or wherever you have a spare moment.
And here's the secret about our little news bot: It's written by humans! Smart journalists who want to keep you informed and entertained.
It's pretty simple. Here are some other features:
• Notifications that are relevant and fun. You decide which alerts to receive, and we won't buzz your phone unless it's really, really important.
• Sometimes our notifications also come with photos, charts, animated GIFs, or other media attached to them. Pretty crazy.
• On the Today screen, view our most interesting chart of the moment.
• Apple Watch owners, gauge the markets with an emoji on your watch face.
• No more news? Relax. We'll give you a quiz or something else to do.
This app is a new way to read the news that's really made for your phone. We hope you like it. Let us know what you think at hi@qz.com. Thanks!
What's New in Version 1.4.0
We all need an occasional break from the news. Now, you can give yourself a 24-hour timeout from US political news with the tap of a new button in the app called Trump Snooze.
When you're snoozing, we'll skip any news items or notifications about the man whose outsized personality and historic presidency have dominated headlines and, at times, crowded out everything else important that's going on in the world. (But, don't worry: Really important news will still come through, at the discretion of our editors, even if you're snoozing.)
The idea of Trump Snooze is to give you a quick break from the relentless news cycle surrounding the US president. Many of you asked for such a feature: "less Trump!" was a consistent theme in our recent survey of readers. We think it's still important to follow American politics, so Trump Snooze will only work for 24 hours at a time. Then it's back to the news cycle. But if you choose to take a break for a day, enjoy it!
Customer Reviews
Thanks for Trump snooze.
A month of compressed blunders per day can be taxing to process sometimes.
Predictable and heavily biased
Basically the same old garbage with the same old slant - conservatism: bad; liberalism: good. The only reason for more than one miserable star is this app comes with alerts and at least provides the option to skip more than just the headlines.
Overly biased app
Doesn't show news, just liberal bias.
