Feedly
Other platforms
Feedly is an app for both Android and iOS that consolidates all your favorite feeds into one place. Feedly's interface is simple and easy to navigate. It features customizable notifications for the latest news and breaking headlines.
No doubt the neatest and most efficient app I've ever laid my hands on. I'm not a very organized person, to begin with, but I love to read articles when I'm bored and I have no idea how to keep track of them aside from my messy bookmarks. Ever since I tried Feedly, I got to fix all my "to-read" articles and I'm also able to discover new topics in the process. More

The widget does not update and freezes /crashes all the time!

Tried both Feedly and Flipboard on my Samsung Galaxy S6. For older Android devices Feedly is the way to go as it's lighter on the devices resources. The one advantage Flipboard has over Feedly is the amount of real estate the widget takes up. Flipboard is the best looking and shows the most information in the while taking up the least amont of space, but you pay for it as it will slow down the overall proformence of older phones. If you spend the time setting up your profile and feeds you can get a lot out of the app and widget. Give it a try. More
Flipboard is a reader that allows users to draw from blogs and publications in order to create their own personal magazine. You can also connect to social networks to see what your friends are posting. It's available on Android and iOS devices.

This is a cool widget! I wanted one for daily news, but this brings in from various sources at once, instead of just one. It does exactly what I needed it to do, but better. More

A great app for keeping up with the latest news, plus the interface is really awesome I've never seen anything quite like it.

flipboard has been one of the most creative ways online to put together a nice story by collecting info from different sources
by Nicholas Black
This would be an acceptable solution. The app is specifically news oriented, but it could certainly be used to curate which news the user sees.

Flipboard is by far the best looking news app and easily wins in the widget department. My only knock is that for older Android phones it can be drain on your phones resources and significantly slow performance. For newer phones that can handle this Flipboard is a top option. The following section took awhile to figure out but that could be the user. More

Inoreader is very user-friendly from my experience of using it for almost two years now. It helps me track all the articles i want to read later and keeps me informed with news from all around the world More

I believe that gReader has a lot of capabilities, however its interface seems a little too busy. To me I want a clean and simple news widget that presents the news to me in a chronological order, nothing more, nothing less. More

With the NYTimes app developed by The New York Times Company for Android and iOS devices, you'll get breaking news alerts, morning briefings, a today widget and more.

I always appreciate it when an App provides me with an important update without having to open the App itself. Generally the widgets provided with most apps don't function properly but the NYTimes Widget works perfectly for me. I have a ton of options which allow me to customize how I receive my news outside of the app. It is early in my free trial but I am heavily leaning towards becoming a regular subscriber as this App has been a pretty solid quality of life improvement for me since I started using it.

I wanted to start keeping up with the news since its become a bigger topic due to the political climate in the past year. I downloaded this and dedicated a page of my home screen for the widget. It updates frequently and I get informed about what's going on. Pretty good widget. More

It's important to keep on top of things like news and weather, so I was looking at some easy and unobtrusive widgets that I could periodically check. Since Android is Google-based, I wanted something sponsored by them. I grabbed their News and Weather widget and it did exactly what I wanted. More

by Larry Campbell
I don't like google widgets. I think there are a lot of better widgets for any task, for weather my favorite is probably the weatherchannel weather widget. All in all I'd rather avoid using google products in general and rely on something more specialized for my needs. More

Design your own widgets for your Android apps. Allows more widgets than typical for Android

The Scrollable News Widget is an alright solution for those looking a good app of this kind that works with Android phones, but other options might be better for some, as there are many options in this app category. The interface and layout can be kind of cluttered or hard to read, upon initial installation. That said, you can customize certain aspects of it to your taste, so if you don't like the default settings, try playing around until you find something that looks better to you. More
