Best iPhone News Apps

When it comes to apps, news agencies certainly have the clout to put together a decent piece of kit for your iPhone and the following listed below seem to have delivered.   Aljazeera
Price: Free Based in Doha Aljazeera is the first international news channel broadcast from this region in English and one of the more refreshingly impartial news channels to watch, except when it’s aired in the Middle East where it faces certain restrictions. With the Aljazeera app you get 24 hour access to live news, updates through their twitter account and viewable portrait and landscape. You will also find news stories that you won’t see on regular news channels, either through censorship or lack of interest.     BBC News
Price: Free The BBC news app has been upgraded a few times with certain recent bug fixes so sports lovers will be pleased to know that highlights streaming should work flawlessly now. The interface replicates that of their website so it’s especially clear and easy to navigate around where you get all the breaking news, features and analysis and refresh controls to get the news updates. A solid news app.     CNN
Price: Free With the latest CNN upgrade you get not just the news but you can submit your own video reports from your iPhone along with sharing your favorite stories to social websites. One slight downer is they’ve taken away local news from this app so if you’re from the US, you’ll need to look for a new app.     France24
Price: Free France24 has a less stiff approach to reporting than the BBC and doesn’t have the chiseled face journalist celebrities over at CNN, so  you get something different with this news channel. Debates are sometimes quite off the cuff and it also likes to feature a lot of the art and cultural news. With their geolocalisation function, you get to click in any area whether close to you or abroad to see the latest news stories unfolding. Its latest version has corrected a few minor bugs.     Reuters News App
Price: Free Reuters is normally the first news agency to get the breaking stories before the news agencies listed above do, so it’s quite a handy app so as to keep right on the ball. Thomson Reuters has become the world’s leading source for business and news professionals and for the news junkie, you get to customize your news geographically like France24.     NY Times
Price: Free & Subscription Fee If you are all about content and not too interested in how beautiful the design interface looks then the NY Times app for smartphones is one media outlet which dishes out some of the best journalism. However, the paper is now charging $20 a month for an in-app upgrade which hasn’t gone down well with reviewers. $20 a month is pricey and there are few apps out there that charge this much for a subscription fee – something they may well decide to change shortly. The paper also uses flash player which isn’t native to iPad’s so this is a strange choice by their developers. There’s also a ton of ads with this app – as would be expected with the free version – but when you upgrade they aren’t removed.     Pulse
Price: Free Pulse gets five stars out of five from three and a half thousand who have installed their latest version so it’s rated quite highly. With Pulse you literally get social media, news, sport, politics and more all thrown into one gorgeous interface. You can pick and choose news stories in one “fluid experience” as they like to put it, keeping your content unique and relevant and of course you get to share it with whomever. You used to have to pay for Pulse but now it’s free many users would still argue it’s was worth the price.   Reprinted courtesy of www.Apppicker.com
