CardNews uses Google’s free translation API for headlines and summaries. Make sure translation is on (translate icon in the top bar) and your system or app language is not English. A network connection is required for new translations. In some regions Google may be slow or blocked — try again on a different network or VPN. Already-translated text is cached on your device.

Tap the category label at the bottom to open the feed picker, then choose “Add manually” (or +). Enter a display name and the RSS/Atom URL. After saving, CardNews will fetch that feed like built-in categories.

Tap the heart on a card to save it. Open Collections from the top bar to see your paper board — drag cards to rearrange, pinch to scale, and swipe or use arrows to flip between days. Layout is saved locally on your device.

Lifetime VIP removes interstitial ads. Product IDs: iOS `com.cardnews.unlock`, Android `unlock`. If you already purchased, open the VIP sheet and tap Restore Purchases while signed into the same Apple ID or Google account used for the purchase. Billing issues are handled by Apple or Google.

Free users may see full-screen interstitial ads between swipes (Google AdMob). VIP turns ads off. Debug builds use Google test ads only.

Open Settings (gear icon on the home screen). You can force dark/light mode and pick an app language independent of the system. CardNews supports English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Hindi, and Arabic.

You need a connection to fetch new RSS items and to translate text. Already-loaded cards, favorites, and saved layouts work offline. Opening an article may require network access unless the publisher page is cached by the WebView.

Favorites, unread decks, custom feeds, paper positions, and settings are stored locally on your phone — not on our servers. Uninstalling the app usually removes this data.
