I'm the developer of Aaven: News & Audio, now on Google Play for Android.
Aaven is a fast, clean way to stay informed: read your news or have it read to you. Pick the categories you care about, such as world news, tech, business and sports, and Aaven pulls together a personalized briefing from the sources you choose. Read the stories in a distraction-free view, or switch to audio and listen to your briefing like a podcast. It works well for commutes, workouts, or anytime your hands and eyes are busy.
What you get
- Personalized categories: choose the topics that matter to you, from world news and tech to Politics, Travel, Food, Cybersecurity and Good News
- Audio briefings: listen to your news instead of reading it
- Clean, distraction-free reading: no clutter, no popups
- No account required: every feature works immediately, with no sign-up
- Your language: the app is available in 60 languages, and briefings can be translated on your device. Translation is good but not perfect, especially with names
- Privacy-first: no ads, no tracking, no account; nothing you read is sent to the developer
What's new in version 0.9.0
- 11 new categories you can turn on in Settings, including Politics, Environment, Gaming, Travel, Food, Education, Startups, Cybersecurity and Good News (Comedy is satire and is clearly labeled)
- 75 new local-language news sources across 24 languages, plus Punjabi
- Filipino (Tagalog) translation is in Beta: English news can be translated into it
- Better translation of names and headlines, and more top stories in the free version
Pricing
The core app is free and fully usable with no account. Aaven Plus is an optional subscription that unlocks additional briefing categories and removes playback limits.
