The app features a black and mint green type of aesthetic style to the app. Upon opening the app, it displays breaking news then it is categorized into sections. Huffpost is better known for reporting news and politics, but the app still caters to other influential topics such as media and business. The app provides easy access to news stories at the tap of your fingers. 

Although the app doesn't have many tabs to click through, it still gives viable and great deal of content. The app keeps you informed with breaking news alerts and top story digests. The sections display all different types of topics such as front page, entertainment, politics, and communities. There is a search bar listed on sections to choose from what news you are interested in. You can also bookmark some of your favorite news articles by logging in or creating a account with Huffpost. The next column features alerts which sends you notifications about the latest news. Overall the app is very beneficial to getting your latest news. The app has a wide range of things to search for as far as news goes. I found no glitches or bad connection with this app. The app provides with the most useful information to detail. The app ratings score an 4.6/5 which contributes to it being a pretty good app.
