  • Source blocking limit

    By CaelikOfAzeroth
    As a subscriber for several months I have seen far too many sources that have questionable factuality. Instead of having a list available for the user to select which sources to see, the developer forces me to block them as as they appear. That was annoying enough, but when I last attempted to block a source I had a pop-up informing me that I have reached the maximum quota of blocked sources. $30 subscription with that kind of limitation? Immediately cancelled and uninstalled.

  • Great app for learning about the other part

  • Making news palatable again

    Worked in news for some years and learned to hate it. I worked when there was a new ISIS or mass shooting event almost daily. Stopped following news altogether once I left that gig. I knew that if I wanted the real news, I needed to do legwork and compare articles, sources, find a 3rd party commenter, but i have little desire to do this for every story. This app makes it simple to compare headlines, and even quickly read articles from different leanings of sources. Sometimes just for a laugh from fringe stories, but it helps me quickly get a balanced view that I can dig into with ease. I want the devs to keep thinking and finding new ways to accomplish this, but features like blindspot and personal stats are great starts to making me feel like comprehensively understanding the local and world news stories are a few easy taps away. If you understand anything about the news climate, you’ll see the immediate value in an app like this. In its current state it does still feel like a nice beta, but it’s got the right idea and is on a path toward something not just great, but necessary for navigating online news content.

  • What I’ve been searching for

    In the past, I have made it my practice to read stories from multiple new sources and try to piece together how the biases of these different sources affect the journey to the true story, or as close to it as I can get. That’s a lot of work and it’s pretty amazing to have a tool that does that work for you

  • I hate the news ... BUT ..

    this was really the only app I have used for keeping up-to-date when I needed to. I wouldn't recommend anything else.

  • A Great Gateway into Politics and News

    Before I got this app I wasn’t all that locked into politics or the news, I always knew they were important but I felt like I could never find the time to sort through all the news sources to find ones I trusted but ground news does that for me and allows me to better navigate the confusing world of politics and news and get a more clear and honest understanding i oh f what’s going on.

  • Great app, want to give them my money, but…

    Their built in browser has some kind of issue on iOS where the videos playing on some sites force themselves into full screen, repeatedly, making it impossible to view or interact with the article. This is is compounded by their browser allowing videos to autoplay and seemingly no setting available to disable that. If I could use this app without getting stuck in full screen videos (sometimes from the news outlet, sometimes an ad), they’d get my subscription dollars easily. I like how the news is collated and the information on bias and factuality (esp. since you can disagree with Ground’s bias rating and set your own, if I recall). I just don’t like being bombarded with autoplay videos.

    Ground News offers a perspective on the news that I've found nowhere else -- it shares with readers how today's news stories are presented (or not) by a wide range of news sources across the political spectrum. Ground News doesn't take sides or promote a perspective, but it gives insight into biases, intentional or not, from a wide and global range of news providers. It gives me an understanding of how information is presented to the public -- and that's new in itself.
