“Never again will you wonder when Beyoncé tickets go on sale, what time the State of the Union is on, or when your favorite show is back on Netflix”: The extremely popular daily email newsletter The Skimm, which has more than 3.5 million subscribers (that’s an increase of about 2 million since we wrote about the company eight months ago) on Tuesday launched Skimm Ahead, an iPhone app that integrates with the phone’s calendar to keep users posted on national events from entertainment (concerts, Netflix premieres, book releases) to politics to sports.

“If the daily Skimm is about what already happened, this is about what will happen,” Skimm cofounder Carly Zakin told The Wall Street Journal.

Well done to @theskimm on monetising an app that does what so many newspapers have claimed for years they would do. https://t.co/XpG1qYA7xy

The app will cost $2.99 a month after one free month (“That’s less than what you pay at Starbucks a day”). From the Journal:

theSkimm has tapped 12,000 of its most active and social media-oriented readers — they call them Skimmbassadors — and tasked them with promoting the new subscription product, which will not carry any advertising. TheSkimm is not paying these Skimmbassadors for this promotion, but it is offering them some hands-on training in public relations. One Skimmbassador will get a shot at interviewing for a job at the 18-person company.

Users can also read the daily (free) newsletter from within the app and get a push notification about it in the morning.

Compare @theskimm to a bot. The Skimm informs me daily where I spend time (email) and helps me plan ahead (my calendar).
