BBC News The BBC has been my go to for reliable world reporting (and even more so now that I have to pay for my NYTimes fix). The app is great. I've had a few hiccups when attempting to stream, but that's it.
NPR When I feel like listening to my news instead of reading it, I simply tune into my local NPR station with this handy app. It's great for when I'm walking to the subway, or chilling in the park.
CNN App for Android Phones If I had to describe this app in one word, it would be shiny (as in "oooo! shiny!"). It's updated frequently, and is loaded with awesome features.
Onion News Network When the real news gets too depressing, run to this super complete archive of hilarity from everyone's favorite fake news network, the Onion. This app can be a little touchy in playback mode, but in general I've had very few problems. And the hilarity is totally worth the wait!
