Brilliant App! – Noa: Understand the news Review

I’ve been hearing NOA news clips on my Google Home for months and finally decided to try the app today. It’s a brilliant premise: this app gives easy audio access to tons of top journals like the New York Times, Bloomberg, Independent, The Wall Street Journal, etc. If you’ve ever wanted more than the 30-second version of a story (or endless commentary on television), this app is perfect in that articles are sorted by topic, so you get to hear several perspectives on top-story issues such as China devaluing its currency. Where the app lacks at times is in the delivery. The vast majority of the readers’ voices are quite pleasant, but on multiple occasions I’ve heard gross mispronunciations of words (i.e. acquiescence, respite) and names (i.e. Epstein) as though the readers didn’t take the time to learn the words they were saying. I’m still on my free trial but am strongly considering switching to premium if for no other reason than to keep an amazing service like this around!
