The app popularity has also climbed across app stores in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and India over the last few weeks too.

Headlines is a time-saver app that solves the issue of ‘information overload' in social networks by giving users the updates they want, right up front, without having to skim every story.

The app organizes your Facebook newsfeed into categories like ‘Top Stories' and ‘Fav Friends', which gives you updates from friends that actually matter to you. The clean, bright interface is another plus.

T.S. Ramakrishnan, a silicon valley veteran and advisor to startups, said, ‘Headlines is a deceptively simple app that solves a very real problem - in the flood of social news from our networks, we sometimes miss the stories that matter. Apps that help prioritize and bubble up important news and information will become increasingly relevant to users and Headlines does an excellent job of that.'

While the current version organizes users' Facebook news feed as per their preferences, future versions of the app will offer the same functionality for other popular social feeds like Twitter.
