Front Page View features a newspaper-like layout for maximum space allocation and user enjoyment, and if you have a Touch Bar-enabled MacBook Pro, Alien News also includes one of the most innovative uses yet: top news stories will automatically scroll across your Touch Bar, mimicking scrolling news stories, as if you were watching an actual TV news program!
