More About Quartz Brief
You decide when you're interested in learning more about a news item. Each session lasts just a few minutes, so it's perfect for the train, elevator, grocery store line, or wherever you have a spare moment. And here's the secret about our little news bot: It's written by humans! Smart journalists who just want to keep you informed and entertained.
We're proud to have been named an Apple editors' choice and one of the 10 best iPhone apps of 2016. Some other accolades we're not exactly bashful about:
• GQ's 100 best things in the world right now
• Fast Company's 8 must-download apps for your new iPhone
• CNET's favorite apps of 2016
• Business Insider's best iPhone apps of 2016
• OK, we'll stop now :)
The app is really simple to use. Here are some other features:
• Experience the news in AR. When telling you about an interesting object that's in the news, we may invite you view a 3D model of it right there in front of you.
• Notifications that are relevant and fun. You decide which alerts to receive, and we won't buzz your phone unless it's really, really important.
• Sometimes our notifications also come with photos, charts, animated GIFs, or other media attached to them. Pretty crazy.
• Take a 24-hour break from news about the US president with Trump Snooze.
• On the Today screen, view our most interesting chart of the moment.
• Apple Watch owners, gauge the markets with an emoji on your watch face.
• No more news? Relax. We'll give you a quiz or something else to do.
This app is a new way to read the news that's really made for your phone. We hope you like it. Let us know what you think at hi@qz.com. Thanks!
What's New in Quartz Brief 2.8.6 >
GIFs, man. They are cool, but also kind of a data hog. So we're thrilled to say that this new version of the app will reduce your data consumption by a lot. (Don't worry, the GIFs are still there. We just got better at when and how we load them.) And for those who want even more control, you can now select "reduce data usage" in settings. When that's turned on and you're on a cellular connection, we won't load images until you tap them. We have the perfect GIF picked out to celebrate these new features, but that would kind of defeat the point, wouldn't it?
This version also fixes the "chart of the moment" extension for your Today screen. Charts!
