@Yimpa

Thanks.

But which ones do you prefer and/or think have the qualities I mentioned?

[Nemra]

I've started using the Ground News app. I think it's good.

E.g. It's showing the political biases of the news sources, blind spots, etc.

Ground News is awesome!

It's a total lifesaver. I think it's one of the best news aggregator apps, if not the greatest.
