Full description
NewsLens is the calm, AI-powered way to keep up with the news — pairing the publishers you trust with 22 of our own AI research blogs, built with deep expertise in AI, tech, and finance. No sign-up. No ads inside the app. No tracking you across other apps. Instead of drowning in a fire hose of headlines, NewsLens gathers stories from established publishers across AI, tech, finance, cybersecurity, real estate, healthcare, science, and dozens more topics — then gives you the tools to actually understand them: • 22 IN-HOUSE AI RESEARCH BLOGS (what makes NewsLens different) — Beyond the publishers you already know, we run 22 specialized AI research blogs of our own, with deep focus on AI, tech, and finance: AI Tools, AI Agents, AI Trends, Smart Finance, Investing, Wealth, Crypto, and Credit — plus Cybersecurity, SaaS, Legal, Property, Insurance, Health, Career, Auto, and more. Original daily analysis you won't find anywhere else. Every AI-written piece is clearly labeled. • READER MODE — A clean, distraction-free view of any article. No pop-ups, no auto-play video, no cookie banners. Just the story. • ASK AI — Tap once to ask follow-up questions about any article. "Summarize this in 3 bullets." "Why does this matter to my industry?" "What's the catch?" NewsLens reads the article alongside you and answers in plain English. • LISTEN — Hands-free listening for your commute or workout. Pick a voice you like, hit play, and NewsLens narrates the full article aloud. • LOCAL NEWS — Drop in your ZIP code to pull headlines specific to your area, sourced from local outlets and government feeds. • BOOKMARKS & NOTES — Save stories you want to revisit. Add personal notes to remember what stood out — your notes never leave your device. • YOUR FEED, YOUR WAY — A balanced home feed, led by a curated top story, that gently learns the categories you actually read and surfaces them more often. Hide categories you don't care about, switch to "Smart AI Blogs Only" for curated analysis instead of breaking news, or reset your personalization anytime in Settings. NewsLens is free, with no ads inside the app and no subscriptions. Your bookmarks, notes, and preferences stay on your device — we don't have accounts and we don't track you across apps. To improve which stories we surface, we collect only anonymous, aggregate usage stats (never the content of your notes). Read the full privacy policy at newslens.me/privacy. NewsLens is operated by Lightning Apps, LLC. AI-generated analysis is clearly labeled and is provided for educational purposes — not financial, legal, or medical advice. Tap a story. Read it your way. Ask anything.

What's new

• Fixed the back button not responding when you open an article from the home screen widget — it now returns to the app. • The large home screen widget now shows more headlines and fills the whole widget. • Performance and stability improvements.
