7 News Apps to Keep You Informed on the Go ...

My iPhone is currently loaded with more news apps than I probably need, but none the less, I can’t help myself! News apps keep you informed on the go, and for all of our busy lifestyles, they are much easier to read on the go than newspapers are. Certain apps are better than others, and you want to look for an app that gives you multiple categories of news, not just the weather or headlines, to get the most out of your news apps. My personal favorites are easy to use, the text is large enough to read, and updates are given on your phone immediately if set the alert to do so. Staying informed on the go can help you know what is going on the world, traffic updates, events in your city, state or town, or just give you a great weather update so you don’t get caught in the rain. All of these news apps are also available on both the iPhone and the Android, plus they’re all free!

Huffington Post’s app is free, gives you live updates and covers everything you could want to know, plus some. Their lifestyle, health, women’s and world news are some of my favorite sections, and the colors and graphics are also very enjoyable to look at, enhancing the app experience. You can go directly to one page, zoom in or out, or skim the entire section if you want, all separated into nice, easy to read sections.

New York Times The New York Times holds the gold medal, in my opinion, for the ultimate source of news. I’ve been a fan of this app since my first iPhone and it’s never disappointed me yet. Not only is this news app free, but it’s very user friendly, and I love the 24/7 automatic updates you can subscribe to.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Pulse is an amazing new app. It aggregates articles for you in almost any topic (Politics, Business, Religion, International, Food, Art, Music, etc.) you could find newsworthy and provides suggestions based on your preferences. You can pick and choose which sources (WSJ, NYT, CNN, etc.) your articles are pulled from, too. It's really the best all-in-one news app I've come across.
