There’s a calm serenity about BBC News that’s lacking on other news organizations, and the BBC News app is a great way to view the day’s stories. While we think it’s a bit cluttered in horizontal mode, it’s great in vertical mode and caches stories so you can read them offline. There’s some doubt as to whether this app will be available on the UK store, due to concerns voiced by rival news organizations, but we’ll soon find out.

While most news apps are busy rethinking a newspaper or website-based experience, The Guardian has taken a different tack.

You get a real variety of modern news photography, and it’s regularly stunning.
