Android News App that isnt hot garbage?

Using the Samsung News app on my tablet now and it's one endless clickbait article after another. Plus they inject ads onto the page too.

I know it might not be the apps fault if the source of the news is shit, but there doesn't seem to be a great way of culling all the terrible sources. I can remove them individually but wondering if there is a better option. Something that takes advantage of the larger screen that a tablet has over a phone would be especially welcome.

What about using an RSS reader and retrieve the news from multiple sources of your choosing?
- Which one?
  
  I've been using FEEDLY for years. Love it.
  
  I use Pluma and Feeder. The latter is open source and on F-Droid. The former performs a little smoother for me though, and I tend to prefer it's UI.
  
  Personally I use Inoreader and it works well for my needs, although I pay for the Supporter subscription to be ad-free for roughly $20/year.
Inkl is excellent but it isn't free, but because it isn't free you don't get clickbait articles
I use Ground News. You can see coverage from multiple sources on the headlines, so you get a more complete picture.
A FOSS lemmy app!

Or use RSS/Atom feeds.
