Open the Hourly News app to hear the latest news as soon as you launch it. There’s no need to scroll or search. The app automatically finds and plays the most recent audio news updates from trusted sources, one after another.

Hourly News has been rebuilt in version 2.0 to ensure it's the quickest way to catch up on what's happening. You can use it on an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and even in your car.

You will get updates from some of the most reliable news outlets. Enjoy NPR news podcasts, BBC news podcasts, CBC news podcasts, ABC news podcasts, CBS news podcasts, and ESPN sports updates. You can also listen to VOA news feeds, DW news broadcasts, Marketplace audio updates, The New York Times, FOX news audio, and more. If you have specific interests, you can add custom podcast sources to your list.

One of the great features of Hourly News is that it opens and starts playing automatically. It plays your selected sources in your order, moving to the next feed without any extra effort from you. If you hear an update you've already listened to, the app skips it. Hourly News also downloads upcoming updates ahead of time, ensuring reliable news playback even in areas with weak connections. You can adjust the playback speed to your preference, and you have the option to reorder, enable, or disable your sources easily.

For those who listen everywhere, the Hourly News app is available on multiple platforms. On the Apple Watch, you can control it right from your wrist or play directly from the watch when your phone isn’t around. Home screen widgets allow you to play, pause, and skip updates without opening the app. When you're on the road, CarPlay integration lets you get the latest news updates easily. You can even use Siri news playback—just ask Siri to play the news, and it will do so for you. On a Mac, Hourly News is accessible through a convenient menu bar player.

If you're thinking about joining, try Hourly News Premium free for 14 days. After the trial, you can continue with a monthly or yearly subscription, which is automatically renewed unless you cancel it through your App Store account.

One of the most appealing aspects of Hourly News is that it has no ads of its own. While some sources may include ads in their streams, you won’t have to deal with interruptions from the app itself.
