What we do
The antidote to information overload.
Our process
Live coverage
Our team creates a “feed” for ongoing or breaking news stories. One place to go for all the latest, best information.
Just the facts
We post updates to the story, live. As short summaries, quotes, tweets, images, etc. Each with a link to read more.
Get notified
Follow feeds to keep track of new updates and get notifications for breaking news. Customizable settings.
Confused?
We answer FAQs to give you relevant background and context. You can submit questions to our team.
Our values
Relevant
We only post relevant developments. Real, significant news only. No clickbait or fluff.
Objective
We are focused on facts. No opinion. No commentary. Links to primary sources whenever available.
Concise
We keep our updates brief and easy to understand. Often just one sentence.
Complete
A feed is a comprehensive, definitive source for all the latest, best information. Period.
Our manifesto
We want to help people understand the world better.
News is broken. Surveys show a large majority of Americans feel overwhelmed by the news and the vast amount of information online. What important things happened today? This question should be easy to answer in the 21st century. It is not.
We're spoon-fed junk. We scroll mindlessly through feeds of endless content, filtered through algorithms, where the line between fact and opinion is blurred. No flow, no structure, no chronology. Just a bunch of unfocused noise and shrill voices. We're left piecing together stories on our own.
Not anymore. We're rebuilding news from the ground up, for the internet era.
Winno is an app where you can get all the important updates to a story in one place, live. Both fast-paced breaking news and slower developing stories alike. We don't post links or headlines; we condense a development into its core components and post just the facts. Curated, written and fact-checked by our team. We give you everything you need to know, without the noise.
By shrinking the unit of news from article to fact, we can present primary sources and quotes without opinion mixed in. It lets us comprehensively cover a story in real-time and be clear, engaging and objective. And because our approach is disciplined and feeds are finite, Winno lets people feel 100% up-to-date at the end of the day. Not like there's always more to wade through.
Because we've built a self-contained product, we don't need to publish rubbish to attract clicks on third-party platforms. We can focus instead on creating the best resource for timely, relevant, truthful information. Just the stuff that matters. No bullshit.
We are committed to building a humane, attention-friendly experience. Unlike other news outlets, we give users the power to choose which stories to follow and get notifications about. Our goal is to create a healthy product that people love, and we will ensure that our incentives as a business always align.

I can finally consume news! This is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to leave a review for an app. I had gotten to the point in life where I was avoiding news all together because it all seemed so sensational. But I felt just as cruddy being out of touch. I downloaded this when it was the featured app of the day and since then, my life has literally been changed. Being able to stay up to date without the mental strain of sorting through sensationalist opinions is a game changer. This is the future of news. Mainstream news takes energy to consume. This gives energy. Please keep this app going. I would happily pay for more categories.

This is my first review on the App Store after holding an iPhone as a consumer for over ten years. If I could rate this app higher, I would. I get most of my headlines and alerts from Winno, and it truly is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in keeping up with breaking news. Keep up the great work!
Mr. Review Master
Top notch news app - really innovative. I love this news app so much. This is the first news app I’ve seen in awhile that really brings along something truly fresh and unique. The bite-sized presentation of facts is perfect for staying up on key bits of information without click-baity or misleading headlines. I have high hopes for this app and would love to see it grow bigger.

I never give reviews, but I have to give a review for Winno because it is a life-changer for me. I had a problem with keeping up with news because I have crazy hours... before I started using Winno. The information is succinct and perfectly summarized in a flow, with key terms often explained in its call-out box. It is extremely useful to flow on specific topics, and I love this information efficiency.

FINALLY, I can clear my head! I ran across this app after seeing it on a YouTube video. I LOVE IT and it is my new favorite app. I spend hours and hours quarantined listening to one piece of bad news after another...with a different opinion on each channel. But now, I can read a 2-3 sentence personalized 'non-biased blurb' and feel that I have been informed OR I can go on and read the entire article...my choice. I have not watched cable news since I bought the app and my stress level has gone down but my knowledge level has gone up. Thanks, we all needed this!

Best news app in the store. My favorite and most used app. It’s like a personal assistant that keeps you up to speed with what’s going on. You get the facts at a glance and good sources to dig deeper. Most amazingly it’s pretty unbiased.
ducdybcdgbc
Perfect app. I’m not someone who has time (or the interest) to search multiple news outlets to get my information, so before Winno I barely kept up to date with the news. This app makes it so easy to follow topics that interest you in tiny doses which you can easily read about through the in-app links to the sources. I also love the #history-photos feed it’s great.
JennaVC
Hands down the best way to consume the news. I'm sick and tired of all these garbage news apps using AI to recommend me articles just so I click on them and they make a profit. I love that with Winno I don't have to deal with any clickbait titles or scroll through an entire article just to realize it's a bunch of fluff. The focused categories are great for when I want to follow a single developing news story and not worry about everything going on in a topic as broad as Politics, for example. This app is like the best parts of Axios + Twitter + traditional news combined.

Often people speak about information overload in an era where there is information everywhere and where information tends to be overwhelming. This app does a brilliant job of making current events both easy to keep up with and save yourself time while doing so. I will never use another news app.
Garbage, TJ
It's so good! First of all it’s live news! And it’s like the best news app ever found! Its greatness cannot be explained in words. Definitely a must have.
SlothGurl
The future of news consumption. I highly recommend Winno. It's so easy to customize your feed to your liking. I love being able to follow up on important topics like climate change and trump-probes with confidence, knowing the articles on here are 100% real and not BS fear mongering. If you're looking for a way to break out of the Fox News / CNN clown show, please check out Winno! It is truly the future of news!

Short review: So good I want to pay money for it! Long review: Winno checks all the boxes for good news as well as good software: Clear, Organized, Factual, Non-Partisan, and doesn't require too much personal data.
GödelEscherBach
This news source is my all-time favorite. I’ve never run into one that isn’t clouded by so much bias and political leanings. It’s so refreshing and enlightening to simply experience factual headlines coming in.
classact52
Quality news without the spam. Winno delivers enough news for me to feel like I know what’s going on in the world, without being inundated with more information than I know what to do with. Winno respects my time by taking up as little of my time as possible, while maximizing the value of the small amount of time it does consume.
Ghostfly48
Super helpful for staying informed! Wow! SUCH a well thought out app. The layout on iPad feels like a modified layout of the iPhone version, but that very minor thought is COMPLETELY outweighed by how helpful this app is for me staying informed, and I cannot over state how valuable it is that this developer has clearly thought about their users and made decisions out of consideration for their users.
mchisolm0
This has been my go-to app for getting news fast. It's extremely convenient to read the well-put-together sound bites and decide, thereafter, whether to read the associated article or not. Frankly, the idea of this app is brilliant.
SKBlank
Winno sets the standard against which all news-feed apps will forever be judged. Hands-down the best app out there for customizing a feed that is bias-free and uniquely your own.
Chrisanneiam
Usually don't review, but want to show appreciation. This app perfectly suits my needs as a consumer who wants unbiased and quickly-summarized news. It's free, has a simple and attractive UI, and streamlines all the important headlines you want to read. I recommend this to all my peers and would even pay money for it if I needed to. Heck, I'd probably even donate just to help support the team.
jmwalker0498
The editorial team does an awesome job at only showing “just the facts”. With all the opinion heavy nonsense in the news today, I've been looking for a way to stay updated without all the bias. This is it. The interface is well designed, the app is really well coded, the content is of good quality, and I appreciate the links to read more ... Look forward to reading more.
Habit Builder
This is the best compilation of real news stories I have seen. I pick the subjects and am delivered a carefully curated set of the latest articles from trusted sources I could imagine. Thank you, whoever is behind this!

Best news app out there no doubt. Not biased, easy comprehension, perfectly curated notification. Bravo guys!!
TolucoMan
Best way to start the news day. I have a bunch of news apps that I love, but I always start the day with Winno because it is succinct, focused and unbiased. Highly recommended.
eastoneddie
Clear and concise! Easy to digest snippets of news that are clear to understand. Won't bombard you with notifications. This is what I want as a daily source of information and I don't know what else to ask for.
BlairZ-21
I wanted to share with you how much I love this app and how life changing it has been. This app has helped many students my age stay informed. I cannot say enough good things. Thank you to everyone that has contributed to this app!
Amy M.
The solution to news on social media. I love this app. It has succinct, current stories and the feed feature is neat and convenient. A nice alternative to getting news through social media, which is full of commentary and misinformation. Like a Brita for news!
pfgaggvl
New favorite app. Hats off to the developers who created this beautiful app. It's designed to give you quick and fact-based summaries so you're not constantly inundated with tons of irrelevant headlines and stories. You pick the topics you want to follow and they quietly deliver summaries to your iPhone or iPad.
mattpetermann
Good concept, even better implementation. So first off, this app is pretty amazing. From the way it implements Sign In with Apple to the way it categorizes feeds. And then the concise pop up links. Great job guys.
srtRish
Perfect news app. This app is perfect for getting short little paragraphs of important news. They make it so easy to find topics and get the most relevant information in that topic ... I love this app because I can get just enough to be informed, and it helps me figure out what's going on in the world without being super confused!
ssheaaaaa
Seriously the best. Fantastic UI and only the factual news. This is the only news app left on my phone now.
