With so many news websites online, it’s quite tiresome to go to each site to see
what’s hot and what’s not. I used to work as a virtual assistant and I was
tasked to be updated with the latest news in the United States and in the
Philippines, so I used to bookmark
websites such as Inquirer, CNN, and
Philippine Star so I can instantly open each site daily whenever I use the
computer to look for interesting news.
But the downside of that method is that it always took me more
or less 15 minutes on each website just
to browse through their headlines looking for some news I could use at work given
that our internet connection and PC specifications were just fairly normal. It’s
just that websites before (and still some today) were loaded with heavy scripts and heavy graphic images
resulting to slow loading time.
Thankfully, there is a new mobile application called “TopBuzz” that I can use to see the latest headlines from multiple current events sources
such as Rappler, Inquirer, The Standard, Philstar, CNN Philippines, and more in just one platform in my mobile phone.
Do I need TopBuzz?
Since I want an application
that can simply organize news headlines from
multiple sources for me then, yes, I definitely need this for business and personal use.
Why do I like TopBuzz?
What I like about TopBuzz is its simplicity or its easy
category selection to be more specific. Once I open the application, I simply
choose which category I would like to browse on. Its categories include Latest
News, Buzz, Featured, News, Sports, Lifestyle, Business, Technology, Videos, Deals,
Jobs, and Events. One of my favorites is the Buzz where the juiciest headlines
from the Entertainment industry in Hollywood or in the local entertainment industry
are featured.

Another thing that I like about TopBuzz that is quite rare on free applications is that it does not
include banner advertisements. I can simply browse through the headlines without accidentally clicking on irritating banners.

Finally, I like TopBuzz because it made my life easier. I
can finish reading the headlines while lying on my bed or while I drink my coffee
at the coffee shop. Plus, I'm currently using a MyPhone Android phone and I did not experience any problems from the app so far.
How much is it and where do I get it?
TopBuzz is a FREE android application that can be
downloaded in Google Play Store. Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=topbuzz.app&hl=en
It took me only a few minutes to
download it.
