Introducing our new Android and Kindle Fire app
We’ve received many requests for an updated version of the free BreakingNews Android app, and we’re happy to announce it’s now live in both the Android Market and Amazon Appstore. This is a big update: we’ve added customized feeds, real-time mapping, a cleaner display, and it’s now optimized for the Kindle Fire, to boot. In short, it’s the fastest way to discover breaking news as it happens, wherever you are.

Every minute of the day and night, our editorial team scans social media and hundreds of news sources for the first word of breaking news. As we discover and verify stories, we publish quick updates with links to the originating sources. Since journalists are powering our apps — not robots — we’re able to offer unmatched, reliable coverage and social media filtering in real-time. We publish a much greater volume of updates on our apps than our social channels. And if you’ve activated push alerts, we’ll ping you on the biggest stories.
When you see a story or topic you’d like to track — such as the latest news around the elections or the Occupy movement — you can create your own customized feed by saving it to “my topics.” To view the latest breaking news stories on a global map, select “places” (phone only).

We also recently updated our iPhone app, and we offer a Windows 7 app, as well. You can download any of our mobile apps here.
Please let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more mobile features coming in the weeks to come.
