If you use notifications you'll be glad you stuck with just a few news apps to save your entire screen from blowing up with constant "breaking" alerts.

All of these news apps are free to download on Android and Apple devices, although some have premium, paid versions available.

1. Apple News

Apple's news service keeps iPhone and iPad users fully informed on current affairs. You can browse top headlines or set up notifications based on certain topics or news outlets. So you could get alerted about every politics story, say, if that's what you reallywant.

Apple News is also available as a web app for Mac laptop users, but it doesn't fully sync with the iOS or iPad app versions.

For $9.99 per month you can also subscribe to Apple News+ for access to a bunch of publications (even those with paywalls) and listen to articles narrated as audio stories. That access is across all devices.

A glaring issue with Apple News: Android users are out of luck.

2. Google News

Google News is basically Apple News for Android users, as you might expect. BUT, even iOS devices are compatible with the Google News app. If you're already relying on headlines from the "News" section on Google Search on desktop you'll probably fit right in with the search engine's news app.

The Week is an IRL weekly magazine that collects and summarizes news from all over, but its accompanying app can catch you up quickly.

You can also read some articles on the app without a subscription, but for full digital issues you'll need to subscribe (50 digital-only issues for $89).

Originally formed as a digital magazine, Flipboard makes news gathering more about topics than individual headlines. It emphasizes community curation to create mini magazine issues customized for you about certain places, categories, or events.

For the dedicated news reader you can customize the app to fit best with your interests and preferred publications.
