SmartNews is the fastest, most efficient way to get all your news now. Your news in one minute. Zero loading time, a beautiful interface.
Apple News and SmartNews are both mobile news-aggregator apps. They use personalization algorithms to compile a news feed, support push notifications about important news, allow to save articles (to read later) and offer a selection of "top" editor-picked news
But Apple News (launched in 2015) is part of the iOS ecosystem and therefore only works on Apple devices. This app focuses on visually beautiful presentation of news-feed and articles, careful moderation and cooperation with major media publishers. The app offers a free version and a paid Apple News+ subscription with exclusive magazines
SmartNews (2012) is a Japanese app available on both iOS and Android. It, on the contrary, focuses on machine learning algorithms to select news from any open sources. Another advantage is that it works even with a weak Internet connection and even has an offline mode.
