For news, I downloaded an app called Cryptocurrency News (available on Android, I don't know about iOS). It aggregates the feeds of so many crypto-oriented news websites + mainstream financial newspapers' articles on crypto.

To monitor prices I use CryptoCompare which allows you to track your own portfolio. You basically add all the bitcoins and altcoins you purchased and specify the date and price, then CryptoCompare keeps track of your profits or losses based on the quantity bought and the price of acquisition. But make sure you don't make your portfolio public (some people do it but I think it's a good way to signal yourself as a hacker's taget). CryptoCompare also provides data on prices, market cap on hundreds of cryptos.
