How the WORLD News app works

Which Navigation: Via the navigation bar you can quickly and easily reach the categories. If you click on “News” in the navigation bar, you will be taken to the home page, our “Top News”. Here you will find the most important news and topics of the day at a glance, as well as current weather forecasts, stock market prices and the top 5 most read, most commented and most shared articles of the day.

With the „Ticker“ do not miss any more news, minute updates keep you always up to date. Under „Video“ find the latest TV livestream and short video news. Switch to „Profile“to view your personal reading history or access saved articles. Here you will also find the feature on Android “Personal reading statistics“. In addition, you can at this point at any time settings to your Push Notifications make.

As you are used to from your operating system and other apps, on Android the navigation bar is at the top of the screen, on iOS it is at the bottom.

For iOS, the Departments can also be controlled directly. For example, if you want to go directly to the latest articles in the field of economics, you can do this either through the menu (the button is located at the top left), or by tapping “More economics” on the home page.

On Android devices, you can also easily switch between departments by swiping right and left. By clicking on „Nearby messages“ get back to the section “Top News“.
