Jun. 17, 2017

There is no industry which undergoes such rapid transitions as the technology industry. Every month or so we see new product launches which blow away the competition until it’s their time to settle in the shadow of a new product. Frankly, it’s hard to keep up with all the new happenings in the world of technology. But, we techno-lovers don’t want to lose on the latest and greatest releases. That’s why we need something which keeps us updated of all the changes, we need a good tech news app. Understanding this need of all the technology lovers out there, we have curated a list of apps which will help you remain on top of everything related to technology. So,here are the 5 best tech news apps for Android and iPhone you can get today:

1. Beebom

Yes, we have our very own app at the Play Store and trust me when I say that the Beebom app is the only app you need for all the technology related updates. First of all, the app brings youall the news from the tech world in a crisp format, so that you can read in a jiffy. However, if you are someone who loves reading the full story, you can just tap on the“Read More” buttonthe bottom bar to get a detailed story of the same news. Plus, there’s the much loved“Trending Today” sectionand some really cool gestures. You can swipe left and right to get through different news items and swipe down to go to the home screen. These gestures are super handy.

With the new Beebom app v2.0, you not only get news stories, but alsoexclusive portrait videos, which are crisp and look really good. There are gestures here as well.

Apart from the really cool videos, the app featuresa “Dark Mode” option, which is something a lot of people love. There’s a lot more, like the ability to bookmark articles, like articles, etc., and all of that in anad-freeMaterial Design experience. Plus,the app is free. Honestly, if you are an avid reader of all things tech, you should go ahead and install the Beebom app.

Install:Android (Free)

Whether you are looking for short news or looking for long in-depth articles, Appy Geek has got you covered. While you can find the news articles in the home section of the app, itsdigest section features editorial articlescovering reviews of products and gadgets. One other cool feature is that you can post a comment to all its sources websites from right within the app itself. Also, apart from English, it also supports various regional languages such asEspanol, French, Spanish and Chinese. You can either use the app for free with featured ads or you can buy the Pro version to get rid of them.

Install:Android,iOS(Free, with in-app purchases)

Unlike Flipboard, Feedly is a proper RSS feed reader which makes it really simple to subscribe to your favourite technology sources. When you launch the app, you can just select the Tech option and you will get a list of popular tech news publishers you can subscribe to. If you cannot find your favourite source in the list, just search for them and add them to the list. One of my favourite Feedly features is thatyou can create several personal feeds. This allows me to create separate spaces for different categories of articles. For example, I have created different feeds for iOS, Android, and Windows articles.

Install:Android,iOS(Free, Pro version starting at $5.41/month)

Tech News Tube is a simple app which lets you subscribe to different websites and deliver their content through its app. It is a pretty basic app but does well when it comes to extracting the feeds. One of the unique features of the app is that not only it shows you the written content of the articles, it also shows all theaudio content published on the websites you follow. It also has aninbuilt dark mode. However, its strengths end here.

The biggest problem with this app is that when you tap on the article, it redirects you to the article website. There isno inbuilt parsing feature,which is available in apps like Feedly. Also, it isheavy on ads and cost a lot more than its worthto remove the ads. It’s an app which is better used as an information aggregator and not a reader.

Install:Android,iOS(Free, with in-app purchases)

Drippler will not strictly fall into the tech news app category, but still, we have included it in our list because it serves a very specific purpose and we think it will be helpful for our readers. While it does cover the latest news and trends in the technology industry, that’s not its primary function. The app’s main focus is to deliver youtips and tricks related to your mobile device, so that you can get the most out of it. I was surprised to see how quickly it recognised my phone’s model, its OS version and the network provider I am using. The app is easy to use but the UI does feel a little crowded. You should give this one a try if you like to discover new tips and tricks for your device. There’s no harm as it is completely free.
