Russia Today RT

If you live in Russia, are a Russian living abroad, or just enjoy staying up on what's going on there, Russia Today News is an app to deliver the latest news, 24/7.

This smartphone app from the Russian state-owned media company is especially designed for people living outside the country, as RT gives a Russian perspective on events happening all around the world. Headlines are arranged chronologically, so new content will be rolling out continually.

The first thing you'll notice when you check out the list of reports and articles is that it has a very visual system to mark news items as Read. The ones you still haven't seen will stay 'lit up' while the ones you've read will 'switch off.' Plus you can adjust the font size to make reading easier.

The news from this channel has bylines by RT's own journalists as well as from the Reuters news agency, so you can be sure you're getting firsthand information from several sources, whatever corner of the world you find yourself in.
