Yahoo News Digest delivers bite-sized chunks of news called "digests" to your phone every morning and evening. Each news item is accompanied by what Yahoo calls "Atoms," which add additional context to stories like tweets, videos, and stock tickers.

Users will only receive up to nine main stories per day and the app tracks your reading status. Once you finish the digest, Yahoo's app will alert you that you've reached the limit.

You can download it for the iPhone here.
