Okay, so what's a good Android app for keeping up with the news if, like, I only have 5 minutes between school drop-off and my first Zoom meeting?

Girl, Newsmax! Okay, so I downloaded this at 2am when the baby was crying, and it's actually pretty good for quick news updates. Takes literally 30 seconds to set up - I timed it!

Okay, so Newsmax is a lifesaver for when you're, like, drowning in mom-life. I needed something where I could just glance at headlines while I'm making the kids' lunches (again!). It's not the prettiest app, let's be real, but it gets the job done. I can check this while making lunch, packing backpacks, and trying to find my keys ALL AT THE SAME TIME. The articles are short and to the point, which is perfect when you're waiting in the school pickup line and trying not to look like a total mess. It's definitely a sanity-saver because who has time to read a novel when you're trying to keep tiny humans alive and somewhat functional? I also like that I can customize the news topics so I'm not bombarded with stuff I don't care about. Basically, it's a game-changer for busy parents who need to stay informed but have the attention span of a goldfish (no offense to goldfish).
