With today’s Android app introduction, Yahoo is also expanding the numbers of available news editions, which will help more users get news stories that actually matter to them. The new editions – International and Canada – join the existing United States and United Kingdom editions.
While the app works pretty well for US, UK and Canadian users, the same can’t be said for users from other countries as international news items are not always relevant to everyone especially a normal user, who has little interest in international happenings and just wants local news stories.
Here is quick look at the Yahoo News Digest features

- Home-screen widget for quick access to news items
- Notification support for fresh news digests
- Lean and simple user-interface with social sharing support
