I recently scoured the internet for news apps. I wanted something that gave me breaking news notifications for important things and less junk. I also wanted something that was more an aggregation of news sources, to try to alleviate bias. I'm still searching, but here's what I'm using-
News Break has been pretty good. It has a nice "local news" ability that seems to pull articles from my area that I've found interesting. You can also add categories so I have "world news" "US News" "Politics" and a few other cities I used to live in. It has a comment function which I believe resides within the app- I don't use it though. It also has the morning/evening digest option too.
Yahoo News Digest- this app is so beautiful. Actually does a pretty good job as a digest. You set two times during the day to get the digest.
I also use IFTTT + Pushbullet to get pushes of "Top" links in r/worldnews r/news r/live every hour. I wish there was a way to do it like every 4-6 hours, but there aren't many settings. I like this because I like reading the comments on Reddit. It'd be cool if someone made a News on Reddit app or something that just pushed the top 6 posts to you every now and then. I gotta figure out how to do that.
Feedly is an RSS service, unlike the Apple News app. I like them both, but I don't have an iPhone anymore. I can't really think of an alternative unless you're looking for something like News360 or Flipboard. Try out Bundle or News Break, they are both good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.particlenews.newsbreak
