The app aims to make it easier for the 'digital' Filipinos get access to news. It allows users to be constantly updated on the topics and issues that matter to them with features like alerts whenever there is breaking news or a big news event is being streamed live via the app.

ABS-CBN News app also offers audio streaming of DZMM Radyo Patrol, while the biggest news from the entire force of the country’s largest news organization: ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), DZMM, ABS-CBN Regional, news.abs-cbn.com, and Patrol.ph, are also accessible.

We want to give our diverse audiences the flexibility to get the news exactly the way they want it and be in the know about the things that they are concerned about. We want to empower them with credible news and information so that they may be more involved in issues in our society and nation, said Ging Reyes, ABS-CBN Integrated News and Current Affairs head.

There is also a personalized news feed feature where users can customize and choose topics relevant to them—whether on current affairs, business, sports, entertainment, or lifestyle.

Filipinos who prefer getting their news in video form can opt for the video feed, which features the content from ABS-CBN News’ YouTube channel, while those who want to save their data usage can opt for the app’s Lite Mode that features all-text news.
