What Raw Story Is Used For

Raw Story appears to be a news and magazines app for reading investigative reporting, breaking news, and opinion content on an Android phone. Based on the metadata, it is likely used by people who want quick access to current events and article-based coverage from a progressive news outlet, with content organized for regular reading on mobile devices.

The app also includes daily games, so it may serve as both a news reader and a light entertainment app for short breaks.
