SmartNews
SmartNews is the fastest, most efficient way to get all your news now. Your news in one minute. Zero loading time, a beautiful interface.

Google News and SmartNews are both online news aggregators that provide personalized news feeds based on the user's interests. They use machine learning algorithms to select and rank content. Both services aim to show different points of view on the same events. They are free for users and are monetized by advertising. Both provide a mobile app.

But Google News (launched in 2002) is an American service, but in each country where it operates, it adapts to local legislation. Google directly cooperates with some publishers and prioritizes their news. It sorts news by category, region, interest and also allows to create local and personal feeds.

SmartNews (2012) is a Japanese service, but it operates on the global market and in general, it covers news in a balanced way. It includes various thematic channels, such as coupons, local offers (although this is mainly for Japan). SmartNews uses the “SmartView” mode – fast loading of articles, even offline reading, similar to AMP.
