I’m proud of the traction that Evrybit is making and look forward to its continued growth,” he says. “Evrybit is available in the App Store, new users are downloading the app daily, and we’re seeing stories on an increasing number of news sites, especially local and independent media outlets…. We’re full steam ahead with Evrybit.”
