Best News apps — FAQ
How are the best News apps ranked?
This list ranks News apps by their average user rating from public App Store and Google Play data, counting only apps with at least 50 ratings so the average is meaningful. It refreshes from live data rather than being a hand-picked list.
Are these ratings official Apple or Google figures?
Ratings are sourced from public store listings. They reflect what users have submitted on each store and are updated periodically; treat them as current-as-of the listed update date.
