The world has changed, and so has the internet. Constant advancements in technology have changed the way people receive news. No matter the halt, a huge number of people still stay on top of everything that goes around the world.

Best and Most Popular News Apps

Apple News (iOS, macOS)

Apple News is the best news app, but it gets points deduced for being only accessible to Apple product users. The app has excellent features, smooth navigation, and installed Siri to suggest news stories based on recent read or browser search results.

Apple News does not hold back in promoting its plan. It has a premium subscription option priced at $9.99 a month (some articles may not be available to non-subscribers). Some users are of the opinion that the pricing needs to be justified, which may have caused leading to non-subscriptions. With Apple News +, you can get premium access to many prestigious news articles, like the Wall Street Journal and TIME, and listen to Apple’s audio stories.

Google News

Google News needs no introduction; it’s one of the most popular apps, especially among gen z. it’s often called Apple News for Android news. Anyone can access Google news. All you need is a Google account which is common nowadays.

Google news aesthetics are attractive and engage users with great unique content- promoting the latest news article on top (of course, with the right SEO practices and website quality). Plus, Google keeps on changing its from-end look to entice users. Also, everyone uses Google for work, so users automatically feel obliged to read the news once a day.

Price: No charges

Ground News

The entire look of Ground News may be a ‘no-no’ for some people, but the app quality fulfills what it lacks in the first place. Plus, the insightful heading gives you room to decide whether to read the article. And every news article comes with a para-long summary referred to as the Ground summary (a good try at establishing a news app as a brand).

The app takes pride in covering a wide range of topics, from health to travel. Although every app covers a sufficient number of issues, only a few offers art, and valuable health articles.

Yahoo News

Yahoo News is pleasing; you can analyze the app with a strong vision.

Even the most popular news app will throw articles your way, urging you to read them. But Yahoo is different. The platform offers you an organized news feed view to choose a topic. Another thing that separates Yahoo from other news apps is that they provide you an option to view your news in the form of a video.
