“Oh, you didn’t see that?!” It’s a common response when someone (like me) says they haven’t watched the presidential debate or the newest viral cat video. But knowing the latest and greatest news is a lot simpler with the NowThis News app.

The app has video after video categorized into politics, breaking news, entertainment, technology, fun and more. After you click on a section, you pick from the list to see the full footage of shorter videos and the highlights of the longer ones. In addition to top news stories, the app includes videos that you probably haven’t seen yet but would enjoy viewing. Plus, the screen has a share icon that allows you to share videos through Facebook, Twitter or Email to all your less-informed friends.

Stop being the last one to see all things popular online by downloading the NowThis News app today. Available for free for all Apple products.
