Full description

The news app that explains what it assumes you already know. Most news assumes you already know who everyone is and how everything works. BriefTea doesn't. Every story is a short news summary of 60 words in plain English, and when a story loses you, you can keep pulling the thread until it finally makes sense. 📰 NEWS IN 60 WORDS Short news summaries you'll actually finish. UK news and world news, politics, business, tech, science, sport and culture, written clearly with no clickbait and no jargon. Catch up on today's news in the time it takes to make a cuppa. 🌌 KNOWLEDGE GALAXY Curiosity shouldn't stop at the headline. Open a story's Knowledge Galaxy and tap the people, places and terms you don't recognise. Every answer opens new questions, so one news story becomes a whole constellation of general knowledge. 🫖 BREW TEA Some stories deserve a proper sit-down. Brew Tea turns the biggest stories into swipeable visual decks with the background, the key players and why it all matters. News explained, not just reported. 🧠 DAILY NEWS QUIZ Think the news stuck? Take the daily quiz, build a streak and see where you rank on the leaderboard. Learn a little, prove it, make it stick. ⏱ NEWS THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME No endless feed engineered to keep you scrolling. A few notifications a day for the stories that genuinely matter, not a buzz every ten minutes. Read what you need, then put the phone down. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO BRIEFTEA • Short news, not long reads: every summary is 60 words • News explained in plain English, with the context other apps assume you have • Daily knowledge, not just daily headlines • A daily quiz that turns reading the news into remembering it • UK and world news in one clean, calm feed Whether you have 60 seconds or an hour, BriefTea meets you where you are: a quick news briefing on the commute, a deeper dive at lunch, a quiz before bed. Built in for people who want to understand the news, not just skim it. Stay brief. Get curious.

What's new

Turn on alerts from any screen, and see straight away if Android has notifications switched off. Tapping a notification opens that exact story. BrewTea opens on the newest story. Faster, lighter Settings stats. Bug fixes and performance improvements.
