Breaking News, the well-known news app from NBC is closing its service down on 31st December, 2016. The app was widely utilized, because of its excellent notices (which it didn\u2019t overdo), fast updates to breaking news, and real-time alerts about nearby events that were unfurling. If you were utilizing the app as your leading source of news from around the world, you ought to look for an option. So, if you\u2019re looking for some news apps like Breaking News,\u00a0here are the 7 best Breaking News app choices\u00a0we found for both iOS and Android:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Flipboard<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Flipboard is an awesome app that you can tailor to\u00a0show stories related to the topics you\u2019re interested in. The app has an extraordinary interface, and you\u00a0can even\u00a0save stories<\/strong>\u00a0that you like, into your own\u00a0magazine. When you initially\u00a0launch the app, you\u00a0can\u00a0pick topics<\/strong>\u00a0related to the kind of news you need from the app, and then, the app will essentially demonstrate you stories that are related to those topics.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

Flipboard, like Breaking News, makes an awesome job of aggregating news from different sources, into one handy location. It aggregates news from sources, for example, AP, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian<\/strong>, and a lot of other big\u00a0names in the news industry. You can also share\u00a0interesting articles\u00a0from within the app itself. It is certainly a great method to stay updated about the latest happenings in topics that you care about. Plus, with the\u00a0companion app for Apple Watch<\/strong>, you can stay updated, on to go, without having to take your phone out.<\/p>\n

Download Flipboard for\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iOS<\/a>\u00a0(<\/span><\/strong>Free)<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

2. InShorts<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

InShorts, or News in Shorts, as it was previously known, is another app similar to Breaking News. The app aggregates news from an assortment of sources, and you can even\u00a0pick topics that you\u2019re most interested in<\/strong>.\u00a0Another truly extraordinary feature in the app, is the\u00a0categorization\u00a0of news<\/strong>\u00a0articles by an assortment of filters, such as \u201cAll News\u201d, \u201cTrending\u201d, \u201cTop Stories\u201d, and so on.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

If you discover a news article that you\u2019re fascinated in, but can\u2019t read at that very moment, you can effortlessly\u00a0bookmark<\/strong>\u00a0it from the app. The item will then be saved in the bookmarks section of the app, so you can read it at your leisure. Like Flipboard, InShorts also has the choice to\u00a0share articles<\/strong>\u00a0built-in the application itself, so you can effortlessly share important news with your friends, and family.<\/p>\n

Download InShorts for\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iOS<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(Free)<\/p>\n

3. Bundle News<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Bundle News is one more good Breaking News alternative that you can check out. One of the good things about this app, is that it permits you to\u00a0choose the region that you need to get news for<\/strong>. You can select international, or you can select from the four supported countries, which include the USA, and United Kingdom. You can always change this settings from\u00a0the app settings, if you want to.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

Once you have picked the region of interest, the app asks you to\u00a0select the news sources<\/strong>\u00a0that you need. This is a good feature, in my opinion, as it lets you select the sources that you hope, thereby keeping the information as relevant, as it possibly can. Similar to Breaking News, the app comes with\u00a0Apple Watch support<\/strong>, so you can simply\u00a0keep a check on the latest news while you are on the go.<\/p>\n

Download Bundle News for\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>iO<\/span><\/strong>S<\/a>\u00a0(Free)<\/p>\n

4. News Republic<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Another great Breaking News option is the News Republic app. Much like Flipboard, the app lets you choose topics that you\u2019re interested in, and afterward demonstrates news related to those topics in your \u201cMy news<\/strong>\u201d feed.\u00a0It\u00a0gets news items from numerous services, such as The Guardian, BBC News, and more, and accompanies a\u00a0\u201cDigest\u201d section<\/strong>, which demonstrates a selection of the most important articles from the topics that you\u2019ve chosen.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

You can tap on any story in the\u00a0app, to open it in full screen, and read the entire article. The app\u00a0additionally offers alternatives to share the story on different social networking platforms like Facebook, and also gives an\u00a0choice to\u00a0email the article<\/strong>\u00a0to anyone you want to share it with. The one issue I see with the app, is the advertisements that it\u00a0shows online with the news articles, which makes for a less than enjoyable reading experience. Luckily, you can remove advertisements with an in-app purchase. The\u00a0Today gadget<\/strong>\u00a0is definitely helpful, and can even be customized to demonstrate the type of stories you need to see.<\/p>\n

5. News 360<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

News 360 is\u00a0one more news accumulation app that lets you pick your interests to customize the app. You can choose from alternatives like \u201cTech<\/strong>\u201c, \u201cSports<\/strong>\u201c, \u201cPolitics<\/strong>\u201c, and significantly more. You can even\u00a0tap twice on an interest to mark it as a topic you \u201clove\u201d<\/strong>. The\u00a0application accompanies a beautiful interface, and you can just tap on the articles you need to peruse about.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

One of the best features of the News 360 app, is the great \u201csummary\u201d it offers. You can just tap on any article to\u00a0open it, and you will discover a\u00a0summary of the entire article on the top<\/strong>. This is definitely awesome to rapidly catch up on the latest news, without reading through a whole news article. Generally, the app\u00a0is extremely well designed, and functions as expected. It even accompanies an incredible \u201cswipe up\u201d gesture that you can utilize to mark the article as something you like (or don\u2019t), and to bookmark, or share it. The app adjusts as per your utilization, so it gets better over time. It also offers an\u00a0Apple Watch app<\/strong>, alongside an\u00a0iMessage app<\/strong>, which is certainly a plus.<\/p>\n

6. The Guardian<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In case you are not searching for news aggregation apps, but just need an app that has great quality news articles, alongside some other great features, The Guardian\u2019s app is one you ought to check out. The app accompanies a decent interface, and\u00a0gives you\u00a0the headlines that you ought to know about. You can also utilize the side menu in the app to choose from a\u00a0variety of topics<\/strong>, to peruse articles about the things you\u2019re interested in.

\"Top<\/p>\n

You can essentially tap on\u00a0the headline for any article, to open it in the full view, and read it. The app also\u00a0offers an alternative to bookmark<\/strong>\u00a0the article, and permits you to share it too.\u00a0Another awesome feature that the app offers, is the capability to\u00a0increase or decrease the font size<\/strong>\u00a0of the article, so if you utilize glasses, you will have the ability to read news on your phone without having to put them on. From the settings, you can manage things like being alerted for breaking news, and even for the \u201cWeekend Reading<\/strong>\u201d choice that Guardian gives.<\/p>\n

Download The Guardian for\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iOS<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(Free, with in-app purchases)<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

7. CNN Breaking News<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Another extraordinary source of breaking\u00a0news that you can check out, is the CNN Breaking\u00a0News application. While it is not a news aggregation app, CNN itself is quite a good source of news, so you can definitely rely on this app\u00a0to get your everyday dose of breaking news. The app has a\u00a0great interface, and the news\u00a0articles are well laid out<\/strong>.\u00a0You can tap on any article that you need to read, and the app opens it up in the full view.<\/p>\n

Use These Breaking News App Alternatives<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

You can use any of these apps as an alternative to \u201cBreaking News\u201d. While the perfection with which Breaking News used to filter out notifications is not replicated by any one of these apps, they come very close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
