Key Points of the Renewal

Quickly grasp important news with the new "Digest" feature

By simply checking the digest first, you can keep up with what is happening in the world—

We have further enhanced its role as the "initial gateway" of the app.

App-exclusive service: "Digest Rally"

You can earn stamps by reading the daily digest on the day it is updated (between 5:00 and 23:59), allowing you to enjoy the fun of building a daily habit.

By linking your account with the Mainichi Shimbun's point-earning service, "Mainichi Point Club," you can exchange seven collected stamps for "Maipo" points.

Manage your interests in one place with "My Page"

Followed series, regional news, and saved articles are now consolidated in the "My Page" tab.

With the "Timeline" feature, you can look back on the past week, making it smoother to "follow" and "review" the news.

Expand your interests with "Search"

You can delve deeper into topics of interest, such as rankings and articles recommended by the editorial department.

Making your daily news experience more natural

Mainichi Shimbun Digital will continue to provide reliable information in a way that integrates seamlessly into your life.

We plan to introduce more services that are even easier for our readers to use. Please look forward to further updates.
