Aaven — News & Audio
News you listen to, not scroll through
What is Aaven — News & Audio?
Aaven is an iPhone app that turns the news topics you pick into a natural-voice spoken briefing — for a commute, a walk, or making dinner.
Pick topics (Top Stories, Technology, Business, World, Science, Health, Sports and more) and sources once. Press play and Aaven fetches the latest headlines, summarizes them and reads them aloud one after another. Tap any story to open the original article. Reading speed is adjustable, and there's a sleep timer.
Free tier: daily curated top stories plus Wikipedia's On This Day and Word of the Day, read in a natural voice — no account or sign-up at all.
Aaven Plus (monthly or yearly subscription): unlimited sources and categories, a higher-quality neural voice, offline listening and playback customization.
The app and narration are in English, so it can also double as listening practice with real, current news.

When you run web campaigns and app install campaigns on Meta at the same time, you're not reaching the same pool of users twice. Meta's algorithm finds different user profiles for web objectives versus app install objectives. It's genuinely additive inventory.
Running web and app install campaigns on Meta simultaneously reaches different people, not just more of the same
Petit's most counter-intuitive finding: web and app campaigns on Meta do not cannibalise each other. Meta optimises each campaign type differently — web conversion campaigns find users who respond to landing page CTAs, while app install campaigns find users comfortable tapping directly to the store. Running both simultaneously expands total reachable audience rather than just splitting budget against the same people. This is why ROAS on web often holds even after scaling app campaigns.
facebook had become like kind of a drug for them i mean it's just like they were addicted to it and it was just so easy to only use facebook... that's a classic sort of blunder from a from just a commercial perspective you never want to be totally dependent on another platform
Single-Platform Dependency Is a Classic Blunder — ATT Just Made Everyone Experience It
ATT devastated teams who ran all their UA through Facebook because diversification felt unnecessary when the machine worked perfectly. The lesson is not specific to ATT — it applies to any distribution channel. Single-platform dependency means you are one policy change away from a business crisis. Build multi-channel capability before you need it.
