Okay, so I downloaded this at 2am when the baby was crying and I was doom-scrolling (don't judge!). Anyway, Zip News is seriously great for getting the gist of what's happening without having to wade through a million articles. It's a sanity-saver because I can check this while making lunch, during school pickup (don't tell!), or basically anytime I have 30 seconds to breathe. The alerts are super local, which is perfect because I really only care about what's happening in Austin, you know? Plus, it's not cluttered with a bunch of stuff I don't need. Just the headlines, ma'am! Seriously, game-changer for busy parents who need to stay informed but don't have time for a full news cycle. I also like that it doesn't take up a ton of space on my phone because who has time to manage storage?
