Each app compiles national and local political news from hundreds of sources in a single, tabbed interface, offering content customized for the opposing viewpoints. As the names suggest, PolitiCaster Left pulls a feed from liberal sites and blogs, such as Huffington Post, Daily Kos, and Think Progress. Similarly, PolitiCaster Right features commentary from influential conservative sources such as The National Review, Red State, and Michelle Malkin.

In addition, the apps integrate the top tweets from the respective parties as well as offer the option to directly share articles via e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter. There’s also a “Talk Back” feature that lets users send a personal message or forward any article to elected officials and popular political media personalities.
