Your News: Wherever and Whenever You Want It

Quick Pitch:
Overview
Yews (patent pending) is the first app to deliver personalized video news “broadcasts” to watch wherever and whenever you want – even if not connected to the internet. Choose stories from dozens of top news sources and create a timeline: your own curated news ‘playlist,’ and share it with friends. Consumers watch it whenever they like: online or offline. Content providers finally have a way to monetize their video.
