Features & Capabilities

Abridge News curates daily, debate-worthy topics and presents four diverse op-eds rooted in facts on a spectrum you can swipe through. Each topic pairs left- and right-leaning arguments, helping you compare perspectives quickly.

For every topic, three salient points and quick facts provide a concise framework, with category filters (Politics, International, Sports, Culture, Business, Science + Health) and an archive search to explore more. Reactions let you see how others interpret opinions, all in service of empathy and critical thinking.

What a wonderful concept, but as of jun21 this app is dead. There are no news stories newer than nov20. The app developer must not have figured out a way to make money to keep this awesome concept sustainable

I think the app is amazing but doesn’t look like new stories are coming in.

I think that Abridge News does a good gob when it actually puts forth topics that are discussed, but it does so very scarcely. It barely puts new topics and could benefit from more ways of engagement.
