About this app

Read your news or even blogs in a special Columbus, Ohio,app. Busy Columbus will always give you the best recommendations for news sources. It is up to you what you add and choose to read. Busy Columbus is not a news station, it does not produce news, but it is a reading tool. Our app is a news feed reader directed at Columbus area, configured to search the web for reliable local RSS feeds that you may choose to add and read.

You may also enter any website address and the app will try and find if it has a public RSS feed, that you can add.

Busy Columbus offers two reading modes, List mode and Live mode.

In List mode, all sources you add are listed vertically and you may browse news by source.

In Live mode, we will group all news titles from all the recommended feeds that you add and you may read titles as they are published by the sources in one big flow. Even more, the Live mode groups titles by topics.

So, you can read all news and other topics of your interest in one place.

Busy Columbus has a dedicated team that constantly monitors public feeds related to Columbus area and updates and filters our feed suggestions to offer a civilized and comfortable reading experience. We are also monitoring our Live option solution to keep a good flow of titles mix for your selections.

Terrible.. not sure what this actually does, as there's no instructions, but a huge privacy acceptance letter, which explicitly claims it will allow you to opt out, but then gives you no option or way to opt out. Seems like a scam..

Please actually read what you are reviewing. For full transparency, we show our privacy policy first for you to read (hit ok when read) and we offer an option to show or not personalized ads (you may answer with yes or no). After that, you may use our app to add news sources of your liking and start reading.
