Downloading one of the following six apps will help you stay informed about what’s going on in the world. You may already be a fan of one of these apps, or you may just discover your new favorite news app.

Feedly

An RSS feed reader for your news, Feedly is the reader that many people use. It’s also effective because it integrates with your other “news” sources, like Facebook and Twitter.

BBC News

The British Broadcasting Channel’s app never stops reporting news day or night. The app is primarily designed to give you breaking news and topics to follow so you can be continuously updated on what’s most important to you. What’s more, the app has an offline mode.

Nuzzel

Nuzzel is different from other news readers because it takes news stories shared by your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media and puts them onto your app. That way, you can read the news most important to your circle without seeing any of the other status updates your friends post on social media.

AP Mobile

The Associated Press is one of the best organizations in the business, and their app is no exception. With a focus on breaking news, the AP Mobile app doesn’t have any bells or whistles, but still gets the job done.

SmartNews

SmartNews is designed so you can quickly skim headlines and decide which ones are the most pressing for you to read. Different categories are listed at the top of the app so you can quickly navigate to a certain tab and read all the news listed there first.

Google News and Weather

Like everything Google touches, its news and weather app is also very good. The Google News and Weather app pulls news from around 65,000 publications, so you’re always able to access the stories that are most important to you. Further, the app comes equipped with a weather predictor, which is the kind of news most likely to affect you immediately.
