Best Alternative Apps to Flipboard to Discover news on Android

news-android-appFlipboard is a news application that you can customize for yourself. In it you can choose the categories that interest you most, and there are many available. Its user interface is based on a news feed that may be of interest and keep you informed in your day to day. That is, it works like the classic newspaper of a lifetime, adapted to new technologies.

However, Flipboard has its limitations , and it may not be enough for our personal use, or it simply isn’t an application we like, and we want to look for other similar applications that replace or complement it. Therefore, we have prepared a list of the best alternatives to Flipboard to see your news and stay informed at all times.

Google (discover)

An application that we all have indirectly on our smartphone, and of which perhaps not all users are aware. When you enter the Google search bar or your smartphone’s own application , on the left side we have a section called Discover . This section is nothing more than a news feed of our interest , fully adapted to us and that Google offers and selects the news taking into account our searches in your browser. If any news is not of our interest, we will only have to select the options of that news and indicate to Google that we are not interested, and it will no longer show more news related to that specific topic. It is certainly a very good alternative.
