You can choose the news you want to see with just a few taps from different categories that include entertainment, sports, auto, games, etc. Feel free to explore new sources, and if you like what you see, you can subscribe with a simple tap!

How does Dr News work?

  • Menu bar: After you download and open Dr News, you'll see a menu bar along the bottom of the app. It has tabs for Home, Subscribe, Photos, Videos, and Me. Home is your news feed. Subscribe is a screen for all the sources you've subscribed to in the past. Photo and Videos show you photo and video-related news. And Me is your profile screen for account management.
  • News feed: After you download and open Dr News, you'll see the news feed. It's located under a navigation bar of categories, which can be found near the top of the screen. Tap the + icon in the navigation bar to add more categories to your news feed. Once you're done customising the types of news you want to see, go back to the news feed and click any article to expand it in full.
  • Reading modes You can choose between "smart mode" and "read smart" (yellow button in the bottom corner of articles) to toggle between how you like to read. These options are handy if you're in an area with sparse coverage and don't want to wait for pics to load.
  • Offline mode: While on the news feed, tap the download button in the top corner to download your news for offline reading. You'll be asked to choose which categories and articles you want to mark for offline reading.
