The Windows Store is filled with apps to help you keep up with the news of the day while on the go or parked in front of a PC. The Store shelves are filled with news readers and official apps from the various outlets covering the news.
From breaking news to checking out the editorials, these apps can easily keep pace with the 24-hour news cycle we live in today. We have scoured the Store shelves, looked at several possibilities and these are our best news apps for Windows 10. It’s time to read all about it!
Associated Press
The Associated Press has been delivering the news since 1846 when breaking news came by way of the Pony Express. Today our news cycle moves a lot quicker and the Associated Press app for Windows 10 helps you keep pace with local, national and world headlines.
The Associated Press app has a clean layout that highlights the top news stories, as well as news sections for sports, entertainment, world news, lifestyle and more. When you first launch the Associated Press app, you can also enter your zip code to have local stories delivered to the app’s front page. If you are traveling, the location information can be easily changed through the app’s Command Bar.
News articles can be shared through the Windows 10 universal sharing menu and any related images can be pulled up full screen. Available for Windows 10 PC, the Associated Press app is a free offering and covers the basics nicely.
NPR One
NPR One is an audio news app that streams the latest public radio news and stories to your Windows 10 device. NPR One requires you to log into the app with your Microsoft, Facebook or NPR.org account. The app locates your local NPR station for programing and allow you to listen in on the broadcast. When traveling, you can set the app to another local NPR station as needed.
NPR One’s main display highlights the current story with the ability to view previously played items and view the upcoming stories. Each broadcast story includes options to mark the item as interesting (favorite) for easy reference, share the item and view the printed story via your local browser.
Stories and programming can be searched for archived content. This is a nice touch, allowing you to enjoy content on your own schedule. So, if you missed last week’s installment of “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me”, it’s only a quick search away.
NPR One is a free app, available for Windows 10 PC and Mobile and quite simply a great source for audible news programming.
