what's a good news app

gdiddy · Sep 23, 2013

Hello.
I've tried Flipboard but the content always seems days old.
I've tried DrudgeReport and CNN......but....they seem kind of old too.

Are there any good UP TO THE MINUTE news apps?
Maybe like RSS feeds or somthing like that?

Thank you.

It's not free, but the PURE News Widget is really good - highly configurable, and you can select your own RSS feeds.

Thanks Mr. Lucky.
I like your screen name.

For a free version......I just found the Wall Street Journal app to be really good.

BBC. Because it's good for UK news obviously and I like their tech coverage.

Al Jazeera. Good International coverage and without being too biased to one country.

I use Pulse for my news feeds. I used to use Taptu, but just use Pulse exclusively now.

I use my local news apps...

I like News Republic. It uses a lot of sources and can be set to notify you of headlines for your chosen interests. (Free with small banner ad at bottom)
By the same devs i like Appy Geek for tech news. Works in exactly the same way

I use Flipboard and it can be days old depending on how often you have it to auto update. I manually update mine to have the latest news.

I find Flipboard lacking in subscriptions. I couldn't follow Huffington Post or Vice on it. Pulse let me use both. My favorite for reading and interface is Currents, but I can neither share nor favorite stories withit.

^check News Republic then mate :thumbup:

I like news and weather beta from the playstore.

I usually just go to news.google.com if I'm on a PC, so its a perfect app for me

If you want specific feeds currents is good too

Will do. I find Pulse to be really slow about downloading the information from the news sites even though the app works decently, and the interface to be severely lacking regarding opening articles and navigating.

Outstanding.
Thank you.
Just what I was looking for.

I figured out how to favorite and share Currents articles.

be careful with Currents. i've read that it can be a big battery drain - especially with background sync. keep an eye on it.

Try american freedom radio. It has the latest news from time to time and good discussions.

I haven't had that issue on my Nexus 10 yet, don't use it on my Victory, though. Its the perfect news app (for me, anyway)
