-

The Daily Mail is having a busy week. The British based print and online newspaper said it is interested in purchasing Yahoo and has now launched a new Universal Windows App to the .

Of course, the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) tag means the “This is Money” app is useable across platform on PC and mobile devices.

As the name rather suggests, This is Money is focused on finance, and more specifically the Daily Mail's own financial segment of its newspaper.

The app features:

Daily Mail and General Trust said earlier in the week that it may be interested in being a partner in a purchase of Yahoo, according to Reuters. has also reportedly been in talks to purchase the struggling dotcom giant that said it is up for sale earlier in the year.
