This means that many users have chosen Flipboard as their favorite app. Flipboard also allows you to save the news and read it on another device.

Reddit may be one of the best news sources out there, thanks to the thousands of subreddits on different topics. If, for example, you are interested in reading the latest news about Android, r / Android is the best option. If what interests you is technology in general, that is what r / Technology exists for.
In addition, thanks to the voting system, the best posts of each day and the most important news will appear directly on the cover of Reddit.
Although Reddit’s default app leaves a lot to be desired, luckily, some third-party clients provide much more functionality in addition to, in general, having a better design. Among the most popular, we can find Sync, Boost my favorite slide, or Relay.
