Quartz has released its own native news app for iOS. The app has a refreshing new approach to keeping you updated on the go in a very interactive way. You’re sent the news in a friendly Message format, and then you can respond with what you think, if you want more on that topic or just move on to the next piece of news.
If you choose to get more info, you’ll be given a short description of the important info, a fun GIF or image to accompany it, and the option to bump in to the full article on Quartz.
You can get push notifications from the app on big news topics and tap on it and they’ll be sent to you like it’s a conversation.
The app, exclusive to iPhone, is a whole new way to experience Quartz. We put aside existing notions about news apps and imagined what our journalism would be if it lived natively on your iPhone. It wouldn’t be a facsimile of our website. It would be something entirely different, with original writing, new features, and a fresh interface.
Quartz for iPhone has all of that. It’s an ongoing conversation about the news, sort of like texting: We’ll send you messages, photos, GIFs, and links, and you can tap to respond when you’re interested in learning more about a topic. Each session lasts just a few minutes, so it’s perfect for the train, elevator, grocery store line, or wherever you have a spare moment to catch up on the news.
Some of our messages will also reach you through fun and relevant notifications throughout the day. You can pick what you want: haikus about how the stock market is performing, important developments in the global economy, etc. These are notifications you will actually enjoy receiving. And we won’t buzz you unless it’s really important; most alerts will just quietly light up your phone
The app is for iPhones only, and you need to be running iOS 9.0 or higher to install it.
