BNO News App No More
August 31, 2010
BNO News is ending its association with the iPhone. The news agency is discontinuing its iPhone app to concentrate on providing news exclusively to businesses.
Released in 2009, the BNO News app provided world news to the masses and included both "breaking news" and push notifications.
The Tilburg, Netherlands-based, BNO News announced in November of last year that it would launch an international news wire service and limit its content to media companies, internet websites, governments and other businesses.
According to Michael van Poppel, President and founder of BNO News:
“In 2009 we decided to shift our focus and eventually offer our services solely to media organizations and other companies that want to make use of a news service... Unfortunately, only offering services to our clients also means we have decided to end our iPhone services. However, I would like to thank everyone who relied on BNO News through the iPhone application, as well as our loyal followers on Twitter.”
The BNO News app is no longer available in the App Store.
