Circa to the Rescue

BREAKING: The news is broken. Newspapers are dying, page view journalism is climbing, and people are whining. Circa to the rescue. Circa is a mobile app that revolutionizes how you consume the news.

Matt Galligan, cofounder and CEO, aims to make information more presentable for your mobile device. It’s obvious the app starts with the customer experience and works backwards with the technology. Available from tablets to smartphones, Circa simplifies the news into digestible pieces.

Think of the news as a menu. There are lots of full-course meals. These big meals (long stories) are a disaster to consume on a mobile device. Circa understands you want content to snack on throughout the day. The mobile app slices and dices information into snackable, bite-sized pieces so you can digest them with ease.

I use the app on my iPhone to stay informed and read through articles with ease. I loved reading the newspaper growing up, but it doesn’t make sense in today’s world. The newspaper is likeyesterday’s news tomorrow. Circa fulfills the need for me to stay informed in real-time.

My favorite feature of the app is the simple appearance of stories. The intuitive design allows you to scroll through a story as fast as possible. No pinching or pulling, no ads or distractions. The display of the information preserves your most valuable resource — time.

You can easily share an entire story, a quote, or image via twitter or Facebook, text message, or email. The app suggests related storylines and allows you to follow stories to keep you informed. Circa is refreshing journalism sent straight to your mobile device.

Check out the Circa blog and download the app from Google Play or the App Store. You can even get a downland link sent straight to your phone by visiting cir.ca.
