This week, News Break and SmartNews, two news aggregation apps that allow you to easily access both your local and national news, have reached all-time highs for daily downloads.

SmartNews and News Break first broke their existing records on March 14 and 15, respectively. Each day since then, the apps have continued to beat their previous numbers. Yesterday (March 17), their biggest day so far, News Break was installed 225K times while SmartNews was installed 142K times. If you compare these numbers to their average daily downloads in February, News Break’s downloads are up 214% and SmartNews’s are up 222%.
