WhatsOn - News Stories in Timelines

About WhatsOn - News Stories in Timelines Android App

WhatsOn's official free news app organizes latest world news and content in a Story Timeline format. You can follow these topic based stories depending on your interests and we will update you when something new happens in them.

Why stories?
Ever wondered why all religions have so many stories? Or why we don’t remember news or other content like we remember the plots of our favorite movies, TV series or books?

The answer to all such questions is – Story!
A story is the best way to learn about anything and retain it.

Science tells us how we humans understand, retain and recollect our knowledge by forming stories in our heads, thus giving context to the bits of information that we remember. We forget all other non-contextual stuff.

We at WhatsOn believe that everything in the world has a Story. And so we went about organizing the world in the way it should be understood. We’ll help you discover new stories from around the world.

Following a Story & Get Updates
Unfortunately, unlike the movies, real-world stories take time to happen which results in you missing out on crucial parts if you don’t actively seek them.

To build right opinions, the first step is to be well informed.
Stop searching for stuff you want to stay updated about. WhatsOn app lets you follow these stories thus bringing every update of the story to you.
