VERDICT

7am Review

Worth it

Should I use 7am?

A daily news podcast from Solstice Media, publisher of InDaily and The New Daily. Listen free wherever you get your audio. - 7ampodcast.com.au

· 1 month ago

It is a free daily Australian news podcast, not software — trying it costs nothing but a commute's worth of time. Worth it if you follow Australian news; useless if you don't, and irrelevant if you were evaluating a tool.

Confidence

Low. Based on 4 usable public sources; most '7am' search results were unrelated brands (nail salon, baby clothing, ticketing startup), so confidence is low.
