Select the news from a categorised directory of hundreds of news feeds from major sources including the CNN, CBS, Google News, Reuters, Yahoo!, BBC, Fox News and many more. If the news feed is not listed you can enter your own RSS feed by entering the URL.

News feeds in the directory are rated by other NewsAlarm users to help you quickly find the best feeds. You can also submit new RSS feeds to us within the app which we will add to the directory.

Once you've selected your news source, you can customize the number of stories read, the voice used and the speed of the speech.
