Which app do you use for breaking news push notifications ?

Is CNN the best ?

Are they fast enough with the breaking news push alert

wordoflife · Dec 19, 2012, 03:09 AM

I use CNN. Seems to be fast enough.

Che Castro · Dec 19, 2012, 03:26 AM

I don't even open CNN
I use pulse

But I need them breaking news alerts

SnowLeopard OSX · Dec 19, 2012, 07:54 PM

CNN and CNBC.

cole01 · Dec 19, 2012, 09:31 PM

I use AP Mobile. They always send out reliable push notifications really soon after a breaking news story surfaces.

ucfgrad93 · Dec 19, 2012, 10:11 PM

USA Today.

dw3bb10 · Dec 20, 2012, 04:22 AM

CNN is pretty good.

whsbuss · Dec 20, 2012, 06:33 AM

None. Fox News and CBS News breaking emails. Within a few minutes of any major breaking story.

I, too, use AP Mobile. Also NYTimes and, for local news, Boston.com.

Twitter

I use CNN as well but it isn't perfect. I used AP before but it was frustrating that when I click a notification, it takes me to the app but I can never find the breaking news article, only the alert. CNN doesn't take me directly to the article either, but at least I can find it on top or 1 or 2 articles down in the list.

If anyone knows of a news app that sends breaking news alerts and takes you straight to the article, please let me know.

Jessica Lares · Dec 20, 2012, 09:24 AM

New York Times e-mail and Pushover with IFTTT and multiple sources.

TG1 · Dec 20, 2012, 09:59 AM

Breaking News is great for just this.

Rocko1 · Dec 20, 2012, 10:34 AM

I don't use push but Flipboard is about the best news browser around.

rwilliams · Dec 20, 2012, 11:19 AM

Another vote for USA Today.

yly3 · Dec 20, 2012, 11:51 AM

I think the best way for me is push notifications in Twitter. For news I use NYTimes.
They update instantly; I get a notification on the screen, slide to open, then click on the link if the continuation of the head title is interesting me. Simple as that

bandofbrothers · Dec 20, 2012, 11:53 AM

My children give me all the breaking news I'll ever need !

nburwell · Dec 20, 2012, 11:55 AM

I use NY Times, but that's only because I have a digital subscription with them. They push breaking news alerts to my phone pretty quickly.

KattDaDon · Dec 20, 2012, 12:33 PM

I use CNN & The New York Times

ericg301 · Dec 20, 2012, 01:50 PM

I stopped using CNN for breaking news alerts when they were using them to promote their own programs (mainly the endless GOP debates) and the latest episodes of the Lindsay Lohan trainwreck. Maybe they've gotten better.

But I've used BREAKING NEWS since then without any problems or questionable "alerts."

Marrakas · Dec 20, 2012, 03:21 PM

I tried CNN for breaking news, but I quickly removed it when they spammed me with news that was anything else than breaking.

imacadoo · Dec 20, 2012, 03:44 PM

Email breaking news alerts from NBCnews. Formerly MSNBC.

Che Castro · Dec 20, 2012, 07:20 PM

I tested all 3 apps today

CNN
New York Times
USA today

New York Times was faster and gives more news in push

I didn't get anything from CNN today

I use all three mentioned above - Flipboard, Breaking News, and Pulse. I also use News 360 - guess I'm a bit of a news junkie. Twitter may be fast, but too often it's wrong. And Fox News is waayyy to the left for me.

And then there's Reddit...
