So this will be my first time suggestions a app on this post.
I have been using a news app called Quartz. It's a very simple app that doesn't have that much customization to it. However that is where it shines.
It's like someone is texting the news to you. It will display a brief summery of the subject. Which you then have a option to see more info or move onto the next news story. Great for when you are on long lines.
