News app screenshots with a percentage

A percent sign in the words. A percentage puts a size on a claim: a saving, an improvement, a share of users.

From the top 98 free News apps on the US App Store, read on October 9, 2026. Screenshots are the developers’ own, shown from Apple’s servers with a link to each app.
