The removal of news from Facebook has prompted a number of news media outlets to start promoting their own apps. It should be kept in mind you don't need to install an app to use these sites. Both News.com.au and ABC News are promoting their apps when people visit their websites.
There's no need for another app that may or may not be tracking your movements. You can simply bookmark the sites and visit the sites when you want. No app required.
Whilst there's a big outcry with Facebook removing news content there is a bright side. If there's no news sites that means all news on Facebook can treated with suspicion. Right now people are getting tricked because they often can't tell the difference between real news, self promotion and scams. Now all articles can be treated the same and if you want to check the facts on something that interests you, you can visit a news site.
