Tom’s Hardware has launched a free mobile app for Android and iOS, giving readers phone and tablet access to its news, reviews, and breaking updates. It includes an intelligent search function, customizable feeds, saved articles, and push alerts for major tech stories.
The app also incorporates Bench, the site’s benchmark comparison tool for CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, and laptops. Users receive limited free access to its lab-tested data and product pages, while a Tom’s Hardware Premium subscription unlocks unlimited Bench use plus additional long-form news, analysis, testing, and features.
The app may make expert hardware reporting and benchmark data more accessible to hobbyists, builders, and buyers researching components. By offering some Bench access free while reserving unlimited use for subscribers, it could influence purchasing decisions and raise expectations for mobile-friendly tech journalism. Smaller publishers may face pressure to offer similar tools, though the effect depends on adoption and whether users value convenience over browsing the open web.
