Effectively managing mobile information overflow
There are plenty of iPhone apps out there to handle information overflow but Summify really sticks out of the crowd. It’s not just the beautiful interface but also the way it filters your streams for relevant news and updates.
Before I lose too many words on the way Summify works you might as well have a look at the video embedded below
What is Summify? from Team Summify on Vimeo.
I’ve been using it almost since its release in July and the quality of the filters absolutely convinces me. The stories drawn in tend to be on the relevant side and it indeed improves through my reading behaviour.
The design of the interface reminds me of an iPhone version of Flipboard for iPad. Almost everybody who has an iPad has Flipboard and loves it, so it must be excellent at what it does. Summify managed to pack the iPad magazine interface into a design that works very well on the smaller iPhone screen.
Everyone who reads a lot of news on the phone knows how important the reading experience is when consuming mobile news and content. It basically makes the difference between “hitch” or “ditch”.
Another plus are the manifold settings to control your summary, how you share it and which accounts to draw from. I’m a big fan of the multiple account integration which allows me to summarize and share from different Twitter accounts.
Enough said, try for yourself and tell us what you think about it.
