Description
WHAT'S NEW
The widget has been newly designed. Article categories can be changed to “Sports”, “Celebrity”, "Most Read", etc. It can be added from the home screen.
THE ONLY NEWS APP YOU NEED
With News Suite, you no longer have to visit multiple sites and apps to stay in the know. It organises articles from 1000s of feeds into two tabs so it’s easy to find what’s relevant to you. The “News” tab keeps you up to date on a wide range of current affairs, while the “My Feeds” tab brings you articles customised to your personal interests. We’ve partnered with the world’s most popular publications so there’s always new, quality content to engage you.
YOUR NEWS, TWO WAYS
-With our unique two-tab design, you can switch between the news you want and the news you need with the tap of a finger.
-The “News” tab is where you can read up on a wide range of organised genres such as: General News, Entertainment, Sports, Food and more.
-The “My Feeds” tab is where we bring you a personalised array of content based on your favourite topics.
KNOW NOW
-When you enable push notifications you’ll receive important news stories as soon as they develop.
-With our ”Scheduled News” feature, you can customise push notifications for certain topics to appear periodically.
SAVE AND SHARE
You can save articles to your bookmarks list to read later. Plus, we make it easy to share your favourite stories with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

-Tips for Use-
■ How to Read News from Your Own Country/Region ■
By default, the region setting of your "News" tab is taken from the language and region settings of your device. For example, if your device’s language is set to “English (United States),” then news from the U.S. will be displayed. If you are unable to read news from the region you are staying in, you can use the method below to change the region setting.
* Please note this resets the app to its initial state, deleting all feeds and bookmarks which have been registered.
1. Go to "Apps & notifications > News Suite > Storage & Cache" in your phone settings and select "Clear Storage".
* This will delete feeds and bookmarks which have been registered.
2. Restart News Suite
3. Select the link for "Terms of service" from the starting screen
4. Choose the region you stay in under "Select your language/region"
■ Setting Up Push Notifications ■
Users can receive periodic updates via push notifications with "Scheduled News," as well as push notifications for important news articles with "Additional feeds and other info of interest"
You can turn notifications on or off, and set timings, by selecting "Settings," followed by "Notifications," from the upper right menu.
