Verso - The News App

Verso is a news reader that follows events — not a firehose of headlines.

When something big is happening, dozens of publishers cover it. Verso clusters that coverage into one event and writes short AI briefs as new developments land. Major stories open as a timeline of every brief in order, so you stay with the whole event and never miss a turn.

Each brief is a condensed summary of real publisher coverage, written for the phone — swipe, don’t tab-hop. Sources on any story shows every outlet Verso used, if you want the primary reporting.

HOW YOU READ Home shows what’s biggest today — major events ranked by how coverage is growing and how many briefs the story already has — plus Rising, Latest, local Near you, and category rails. Feed is full-screen: swipe through briefs one at a time, save what matters, and skip what you’ve already read so the next story is new. Discover lets you search and follow people, places, and topics. For You ranks from what you follow. Home Screen widgets for Rising, Latest, and Near you put the day’s events on your Home Screen — tap a story and it opens in Feed. Optional alerts ping you for major stories, and for local majors when you set a city. A few per day, not a firehose.

WHAT YOU GET • Multiple AI briefs per event as the story develops • Event timelines so you catch every development in order • Coverage clustered across publishers — ranked by coverage, not engagement noise • Sources on every brief — citations, always a tap away • Home Screen widgets for Rising, Latest, and Near you • Optional alerts for major news and local majors • Optional local news near you (coarse location / city only; precise location stays on your phone) • Guest from the first open — no account required • Optional Sign in with Apple or Google to sync saves, follows, and city across devices • Saved stories and a cached feed on your device, including offline

WHAT VERSO ISN’T • Not one static summary that never updates • Not every headline from every site dumped into a feed • Not a social app — no comments, no clout, no doomscroll loop • Not a chatbot inventing news — briefs condense real coverage • Not affiliated with or endorsed by any publisher

Summaries are AI-generated. Sources are always a tap away.

Follow the event. Catch every brief.
