Those who want more in-depth news will want to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo News Digest has a slick interface that&#8217;s <strong>controlled using gestures<\/strong>. Scroll down to read more about the story or swipe left or right to navigate between stories. There are no news categorizes so you&#8217;ll only have the most important news curated by Yahoo. Users have the ability to read old digests to see what news they missed.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Yahoo News Digest has editions for the US, UK, Canada, and International news. The option to switch editions is buried in the settings, making it impossible to switch editions quickly. Hopefully Yahoo will make it easier to switch editions in a future update.<\/p>\n<p>The app is available now for Android and iOS globally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Yahoo News Digest for Android\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.atom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Yahoo News Digest for Android<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Yahoo News Digest for iOS\" href=\"http:\/\/yahoo-news-digest.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Yahoo News Digest for iOS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Lewis on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lewisleong\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@lewisleong<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a title=\"Yahoo Tumblr\" href=\"http:\/\/yahoo.tumblr.com\/post\/85102945544\/yahoo-news-digest-now-on-android-adds-international\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yahoo<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/official-mlb-perfect-inning-game-out-now-on-ios-and-android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official MLB Perfect Inning game out now on iOS and Android<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/the-official-2048-released-on-android-and-ios\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The official 2048 released on Android and iOS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/yahoo-screen-for-android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch short video clips with Yahoo Screen for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year Yahoo integrated its Summly technology into its mobile apps to summarize news stories.
