News Republic Goes Beyond Personalization with Custom Service for iOS and Android

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- News Republic, the leading global news app for smartphones, tablets and wearables, today announced My News Digest, a powerful, curated news feed that will inform individual readers on global, contextual news in just 3 minutes a day. So, News Republic's intelligent learning algorithmic filter will provide a news mix that's personally important, universally relevant and socially recommended.

News Republic's app is available today with My News Digest on the App Store ^SM or on Google Play™.

My News Digest is a news stream built around the reader. Through an advanced algorithm with semantic and learning intelligence, News Republic reviews millions of news items and creates a news feed for each specific reader based on his or her interests in stories within a variety of topics -- National News, Technology, Politics, Sports, Entertainment and more. My News Digest updates in real-time with breaking news, so the reader is always up-to-date with pressing news items that matter to them and to the world.

The algorithm for My News Digest is more advanced than others currently on the market, so News Republic delivers the most personalized news feed for readers. Readers, even with similar topics marked as favorites, will receive different news flows depending on their contextual reading preferences.

"My News Digest filters out the excess noise, delivering only the most interesting news content, instead of bombarding people with tons of irrelevant information. No one else offers this level of custom curation," said Gilles Raymond, chief executive officer and founder of News Republic. "We help people to become more informed local and global citizens and hope this inspires them to make a difference in the world. Through extremely personalized, actionable news streams, people stay up-to-date with events that matter and are more likely to take action when they feel passionately about a topic."

Prior to My News Digest, readers were able to view all topics on the News Republic app that they found interesting. Now, readers still see this content, but it is prioritized further, so readers see the stories most relevant to them within those topics in an easy to scan News Digest. With My News Digest, readers can take a shortcut with their news and read everything that's important to them in as little as three minutes a day.
