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 ratings score an 4.6/5 which contributes to it being a pretty good app.
