Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About NewsFlash: RSS Reader
Bring the websites, blogs, and links you care about into one organized library on iPhone and iPad. Filter out what doesn't interest you and keep what does.
FOLLOW YOUR SOURCES
Subscribe to RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds. Paste a website or feed address, preview its articles, or start with suggested feeds. Import and export your subscriptions with OPML.
CONTROL THE NOISE
Hide articles that match words or phrases in their title, summary, or URL. Apply a filter to one feed or your whole library, and preview what it matches before you save it. The source stays; only the stories you don't want disappear.
KEEP MORE THAN A BOOKMARK
Save articles for later, add tags and personal notes, and organize feeds in nested folders. Search across titles, sources, tags, and notes to find things again.
SAVE LINKS FROM ANYWHERE
Share a page from Safari or any other app straight into NewsFlash, even if you don't follow its source.
READ IT YOUR WAY
Choose Hero, Full, Compact, or Text Only layouts, with separate settings for each feed. Light and Dark Mode, larger text, and Safari Reader on supported websites help you read comfortably. Seen and read are tracked separately.
YOUR READING, WITHIN REACH
Your library syncs through your own iCloud account. Get to headlines and saved articles with widgets, Siri, Shortcuts, Control Center, and Spotlight, and choose which feeds may notify you. On iPad, a sidebar keeps your folders and tags in view.
Good to know: saved articles are kept when older articles are removed automatically, but saving doesn't store an offline copy of the full webpage. Feed alerts depend on refresh timing, and iOS manages background refresh.
