These are definitely some of the worst. Small-time news sites all push some wretched app they bought off a CDN, and any niche tech news site feels unimportant if it doesn't push an app on every visitor. Meanwhile I have BBC's rather pleasant news app, and consume my other news in-browser or off-phone.
