Utility at heart of Reuters latest news app

Reuters just unveiled a personalized news app
designed to help business professionals make better
decisions.

The design puts an emphasis on topic-based feeds,
providing fast, accurate and relevant information that
will quickly inform business professionals’ judgement
across industries, interests, markets and countries.

Users of the app can discover thousands of topic feeds
from Reuters vast global news resource and curate
these into a highly-customized news service.
Additionally, the app offers a range of personalization
features, including customized alerts, ‘market
watchlists’ and bespoke analysis of stocks, bonds,
currencies and commodities.

Isaac Showman, Managing Director of Reuters
Consumer, said, “In building the new app, we wanted to
make it easier for users to access quality news and
data across the thousands of specialist topics we cover.
By being a ‘news utility,’ we’re focusing on being
incredibly useful, fast and relevant for our users.”

The app also features ‘Editor’s Highlights’ cards that
provide a summary of major stories in each feed; a
personalized news bulletin from Reuters TV, where
users can select their program length; and offline
access.

The app is currently available for iOS devices, but the
Android version will be available in coming weeks, too.
