I've tested a bunch of news apps and I'd say Al Jazeera English is one of the better ones. The live video stream and on-demand content are great features, and the app does a solid job of surfacing important stories from around the world. Sure, it's got some issues like ads and a learning curve, but it's free and offers a lot of value if you want global news coverage. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for an alternative to the usual suspects.

Description

I’ve been using the Al Jazeera English app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that covers stories from around the world. You get breaking news alerts, a home screen with the top stories, and you can watch their live news coverage or catch up on programs on-demand. Pretty solid if you’re into international current events.

So here’s how it works – you can browse through different topics and news categories, follow the shows and reporters you’re interested in, and there’s also a live video stream if you just wanna watch what’s happening. It’s got a clean, easy-to-navigate layout so it’s not too complicated to use.

Look, if you’re into staying up-to-date on global news, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does a pretty good job of keeping you informed. Worth checking out if that’s your thing.
