Recently launched to the Google Play store is the BuzzFeed News app by BuzzFeed. The aim of the app is to allow users to view a list of content and stories from BuzzFeed itself, as well as other news outlets. The stories are mainly focused on current prominent topics.
The news app offers readers articles curated by BuzzFeed editors from around the web via a ‘Catch Up’ feed. It also stays on top of important and current tweets. Users can tap on the description of the article to view full stories, or tap on a tweet to see the full tweet and other information on Twitter.
