Description

Understand important news in a moment with: • Reports written for you by real human editors • Curated opinions from voices that matter • Timelines that provide thorough background • No infinite feed – just the news you need • 100% ad-free! News is really important, but following it can be stressful and overwhelming. Brief is a subscription news service that fits the most important news stories into the little free moments you have each day. To do that, our team does a bunch of work to give you just the information you need to understand complex news stories. For example, every news report comes with a timeline so you can catch up with how the story developed. We also customize each report based on what you already know, so you only get the new stuff. That’s how we keep it brief without dumbing it down. No one wants to get stuck in a bubble, so we pull together perspectives from voices that matter – politicians and experts across the spectrum – and let them speak for themselves. If you want to take a break for a couple days, the most important stories will be waiting for you when you come back. You can pick up right where you left off. We think you’ll love Brief, and we can’t wait for you to check it out!

  • Worked great...until it didn't

    I've been using Brief for a few months now, and it's always worked well and been easy to use. Then, all of a sudden, the app stopped working today. Now, whenever I open the Brief app, it momentarily shows the loading screen, and then crashes, sending me back to my homescreen. I don't know if this issue has anything to do with the most recent update, but it was working fine until today. I already tried restarting my iPhone, as well as deleting and reinstalling the app, but nothing has changed. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution that I'm just not getting?
  • What I need when I need it

    News apps / websites are just placeholders for ad revenue today and have so much fluff it’s impossible to get facts / details straight from just one. Brief let’s me view what’s important as a quick glance. I have no problem paying for this service, I hope it continues being unbiased and high quality.
  • This app has kept me sane in 2020

    2020 has been a year where it’s been hard to balance the desire to stay informed with a desire to stay sane. It’s so easy to get sucked in with doom-scrolling or pushed further to one side with politically-biased reporting (even from the “best”). I love that I get the most important news, it tells me only what I need to know to stay informed, provides various perspectives below, and I’m free to make up my own mind on the “meaning”. I no longer feel angry towards the “other side” when I read the news because I’m told a more full story. Bonus: they respond quickly to messages and are quick to fix any mistakes. 100% recommend making this your primary news source.

    I Briefly had this app(45 seconds) immediately deleted when they tried to rob me by wanting $59 a month. Is y’all ignorant?
  • Concise. Good.

    Very condensed but with commentary from relevant parties to give credence. Smooth and easy UI. I can get through the news and feel informed without taking a day.
  • Just What I Was Looking For

    Love the short synopsis of news. One star deduct for not having an iPad version.
  • Biased

    I’m an independent (leaning progressive), and I felt this app has a left leaning bias. While that is the way I personally lean, I don’t want bias in my news, or to feel as if I’m in a bubble. Too bad really. I literally want a news app written with no personality, no voice, no bias. Just X happened, Y says this, Z says that, and a fair representation of the story. Maybe it’s just me.
  • Great iPhone app - where's the iPad one?

    Love the app. Simple, intuitive and the actual news that is delivered is pure, objective and non-partisan. Love it! But love to see an iPad app ... I really can't use the iPhone app on iPad as I have my pad on the magic keyboard; so landscape. Will up it to 5 stars when a native iPad app is delivered. Otherwise - great app!!
  • Love this news app!

    Thank you for taking the time to find multiple sources and various opinions. So great to get a true grounding of the news and multiple viewpoints. This is an app that you didn’t even know you needed it until you see it and use it and then there is no going back after that.
