Wildcard is effective and beautiful serving the news in this busy world

We live in a world that is constantly sending information to our devices. So much information that it’s actually difficult to keep up with everything going on. It’s probably safe for me to say that you spend a small-yet-annoying amount of time swiping away useless notifications from apps that are giving you news updates because you either don’t care or you already found the information elsewhere. Luckily for you, options exist that aim to deliver just the news you care about. Wildcard, which has been an iOS-exclusive for the last four months, is now open to people with Android devices seeking to get their news a very attractive format.

Wildcard uses a card-based layout that closely matches what you would expect from a news reader app inspired by Google’s Material Design guidelines. Wildcard is effective and, almost as importantly, beautiful. And you can experience Wildcard today.

The app separates content with cards, ones that should look familiar if you’ve used an updated Android device in the last eighteen months or even Google Now since its inception. Everything is neatly broken down and presented in a clear, attractive manner. But Wildcard isn’t just focusing on text-based content. The service’s editorial team grabs collections full of images, videos, and tweets as well. These editors are the people making sure you get what you want.

It seems that the biggest accomplishment for Wildcard is successfully executing a way to keep the news clean and quick. The card-based layout can fill a lot of space, but Wildcard keeps things moving by only offering image and title previews before a user expands a story.

Wildcard is available right now on Google Play for free.
