Google News Daily Headlines Apps on Google Play

Flipboard is our pick for the best overall news app thanks to its flexibility, customizability, and curated content. Unlike most apps, Flipboard lets you customize your experience by following different topics, including everything from world and financial news to sports and entertainment. Flipboard will notify you about breaking news and developments, and you can also find longer articles and news stories. In addition to following major outlets, The App Review Zone you can follow local news sources for more relevant news and weather information.

What People Are Saying

• Most of the apps on this list pull from the same news sources, but you’ll notice that certain apps (like NewsBreak and Google News) prioritize free stories over subscription-only sources.
• Apps like Flipboard and Feedly are great for users who want to customize their experience, while apps like BBC News and CNN News are great for curated global news.
• (Loved you better when news was a public service and not a corporate venture.) But even now you are the one I turn to.
• Case in point, to see how ingrained this was to the algorithm that chooses stories on my main board.
• For the dedicated news reader you can customize the app to fit best with your interests and preferred publications.

Google News is accessible to anyone and is free to use with your Google account. This article was originally published in July 2018 by David Nield and has also had contributions from Kristina Lauren. Instead of being bombarded with lines and lines of text, NewsBreak splits each article into its own card with a large image and title.

We’re never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site—we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review.

The man told police that he used an online dating app to arrange to meet someone at the convenience store, according to the department. Once he arrived, the man said he was approached by a group of teenage boys who “confronted him verbally and battered him.” The police also said the teenagers had damaged the man’s vehicle.

You can also connect your Twitter account (and your iOS and Google contact lists) and see the links that people you follow are linking for a more personalized selection. A premium version of the “read later” app with a permanent library and suggested tags for better organizing is either $4.99 per month or $44.99 for a year. With the premium plan, you also get custom articles recommended to you based on your reading habits, among other things. For instance, it comes with a personalized Blindspot feed that helps suggest news topics you might be missing in your normal news diet.

Featured Stories

It’s not just the commenting feature that makes NewsBreak feel like a social media app; the Creator Portal allows users to record and post their own local videos and build a community. You can switch to the Videos tab for a TikTok-like interface that lets you swipe through content created by users near you. For instance, I got a lot of videos from Atlanta-based content creators suggesting restaurants and places to visit in my area.

When you block a channel your feed remains full of grey tiles for blocked channels (erm… normal behaviour would be to not see channels you’ve blocked, or am I missing something?). Clicking on the suggest less button seems to have no impact on how many stories/subjects I want to completely avoid, it may actually increase them! The thing is, this app was great, it really was, lots of interesting, paywall-free, ad-free articles, it was ace, well worth being a Mac/iPhone user for.
