Top 3 News Apps on iPad

I find myself reading a lot on the iPad.  It’s become my morning paper.  It took me awhile to find apps that made it an enjoyable experience. Here’s the 3 that I like best.

1. Flipboard

I love the look and feel of Flipboard. It’s one of the nicest UI out there for the iPad.  The one thing that gives it the number 1 spot is the fact it will pull in my facebook and twitter feeds and turn them into a magazine like experience.  It’s the most enjoyable way I’ve found to keep up with all the info that flows through there everyday.  They also have a great curated group of feeds you can add, so you can keep up on other news topics also.  It’s also FREE, which is always a good thing.

2. The Early Edition

The early Edition is at it’s heart a RSS feed reader, but it does it in a way that makes it look like a newspaper. It also comes with a nice set of suggested feeds for you, but you can also add any RSS feed you like and divide them up like sections of a newspaper.  I’ve been using it more and more.  It might not be free like Flipboard, but a few bucks isn’t bad to get all my reading in once place.

3. Pulse News Reader

This one is more like honorable mention, but I thought I would add it in here.  It’s also got a real pretty look, but I don’t find it quite as nice as Flipboard.  It also allows you to add in any feed like Early Edition, but it’s much more linear in its presentation of the feeds.  The nice thing about Pulse is that it recently went free, and they also have an iPhone version also.

What’s your favorite?
