Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to read the news, stay informed, but avoid the barrage of negativity that comes with it? What about seeing more relevant stories that are cool, fun or feel good? Smile News is a new concept in news, both a philosophy and a powerful tool for the iPhone and iPod Touch: using advanced filtering and major news sources it provides the latest facts and opinions even while avoiding the most negative news. In addition to more positive standard news, it showcases fun, funny, uplifting, and cool yet informative stories. Users can choose how to view their news and what level of positivity or negativity they want on a given day. Why not adopt a philosophy of enjoying the news rather than focusing on the grim stuff? Smile News makes that daily choice the user’s.

We’ve put a lot of effort into making this a great tool. Smile News is also a powerful and fully functional news reader and can act as a go-to source of standard news.

Features include:

* Four different positivity levels (from neutral to high)
* Easy-to-use one-tap emoticon interface
* 16 popular news sources, sorted by category, including: Yahoo! News, Google News, AP, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS, ABC, USA Today, NPR, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek
* An expansive and informative positive news category from the Smile News Mix
* View one OR multiple news sources at the same time
* Assign specific news sources to specific news categories
* The ability to enter feeds of your choice (via RSS)
* Landscape mode for easy reading – just tilt your device and double-tap on the article text
