There are so many excellent news aggregator apps available for the iPhone and iPad at the moment that users are spoilt for choice. These clever apps help you to stay up to date with all the latest news items, gossip and trends. The best of these apps will allow you to check news bulletins, read articles and keep up with any topics you have expressed an interest in.To help you get started here are what I consider to be the top ten news aggregator apps currently available in the AppStore.
One of the most popular news aggregators amongst iPad users. The app offers a fun, user-friendly interface that allows you to search for and save stories of interest. It also allows you to share sync them between your iPad and iPhone. The beauty of this app is that it can access a monumental amount of RSS feeds, meaning when the news breaks you get it first. Let's face it, the fact that it's free is a big bonus.
One of my own personal favourites. The 'Read It Later' app allows you to save webpages you may not have the time to read, so you can go back and read them later in PDF format or live on the browser. The pages you save are added to a list easily by clicking the 'read later' tab at the top of your browser. Another knacky feature is the ability to download the contents of the app and read offline at any time you want. Another free app, however there is also an option to upgrade to the Pro Version which features additional link sharing and Google Reader access.

Definitely one of the most extensive online news aggregator apps available. With iReddit you can view thousands of pages of interesting topics. The easy to use sub-categories make for an enjoyable browsing experience. Use the 'shake' function to opt for random stories. Free to all!!
Flipboard
A popular magazine style news app. Flipboard works best for those who are involved in busy social media circles and have plenty of link shares. The app does take some time setting up with your account details and personalisation of your preferences, but it's well worth it. Another free app from the AppStore.
Another magazine style news aggregator that makes it so easy to combine Twitter, Read it Later, Instapaper and Google Reader in one place. Not quite as funky as Pulse this is still a great app that offers free news capabilities.
