Flipboard<br />
Create your own magazine with<br />
this app as it allows you to create a<br />
custom feed with your favourite news<br />
sources and sites. The app is also a little<br />
more on the flashier side as it has<br />
animations, large images and a UI (user<br />
interface) that gives the appearance<br />
of a digital magazine.<br />
Buzzfeed<br />
Experience<br />
Most of us know Buzzfeed for its<br />
listicles and viral content. So, if you<br />
want to stay connected to such content,<br />
this app is the perfect match. The app<br />
consolidates everything in one place and<br />
allows article customisation to suit your<br />
taste for news. There's also other fun stuff<br />
to read and do such as its famous<br />
quizzes, videos and being in the<br />
know of what's trending.<br />
Feedly<br />
This app is an RSS reader that<br />
allows you to pull news from a<br />
variety of sites and sources. Feedly is<br />
integrated with other platforms such as<br />
Facebook, Twitter, Evernote and<br />
Pinterest which allows you to grow your<br />
own news network from places you<br />
can trust. The app also allows you to<br />
access your mobile feed on your<br />
computer with their website.<br />
Pocket<br />
Now this app saves your news or story links but<br />
doesn't actually offer any content on its own.<br />
Basically, as you progress through the day, there will be<br />
conversations with friends, family or colleagues that<br />
involve news links or similar links from other platforms such<br />
as Facebook and Twitter to which you will stumble upon<br />
but will not have the time to read. This is where Pocket is<br />
handy. Just save the links to the app and you get to read it<br />
when you're finally free to do so! The app has offline<br />
support and a decent reading experience. If you wish<br />
to sign up for the app's subscription, this will allow<br />
you unlimited storage, text-to-speech article<br />
reading and other additional features.<br />
Google News & Weather<br />
Get your news fix from a plethora of<br />
publications as the app allows you access to<br />
some 75,000 sources. Tap to read, swipe to read<br />
next and tune your layout to any 60-country<br />
specific editions. Personalise the news sections<br />
with your favourite categories or anything else<br />
that catches your fancy. Tip: If you do not<br />
want to be constantly buzzed by 'breaking<br />
news' stories, activate 'quiet time' in<br />
the app.<br />
