Ground News App Reviews

GROUND News is great at aggregation, offering a diverse array of articles from various sources… however, one of its standout feature - rating articles on a left-right political spectrum - I believe potentially leads its users toward the rabbit hole of tribalism. While aiming for transparency, though seemingly convenient, this approach fits all the articles in an editorial bubble, potentially reinforcing echo chambers and polarization. The app's strength lies in gathering news, but its categori

I recommend to everyone

Really enjoying the perks of being subscribed. It’s really worth it. Really appreciate the app. It’s amazing. (:

Overall great. UI could be better.

It has access to a ton of sources and even seems to get around the pay walls of some them. I learned about it from Kurzgesagt on YouTube. I think it gives me the inside source on everything and then some. Very satisfied

…Free, optional and accurate

I love the idea of this but it’s very confusing to use. It just feels disorganized. Another reviewer said the UI could be better so I looked up UI and thought, yes, that’s the problem.

They’ve implemented the concept of a bias-showing app in a way that’s straightforward and works. I enjoy using it.

Great app! It makes it so easy to separate the slanted far left and far right news from the balanced, non biased news reports. Love it!

I’m suspicious of the new news emails I’m getting since signing up for a premium subscription via a YouTube channel advertisement. I don’t like the amount of notifications I’m getting. I do like the service as a whole. As someone who isn’t on social media this is a nice substitute.

There’s no way to stop notifications despite toggling all of the options to ‘OFF’ without completely silencing this via iOS. Opening an article through this app permits the news site to bypass my Adblock preferences, resulting in frequent video auto-playback and popups. Big old security hole.

Had a very nice interaction with the team personally. They are solid people with good intentions.

I like the direction of the company, and their focus on uncovering and highlighting bias; however, the app continues to have some severe bugs that makes using the service a frustrating experience. I continually have to force close the app to get full articles to pop up. I have no idea why.

The Mac app has improved slowly, but one glaring issue remains: you cannot share headline articles using built-in share sheets like you can in the iOS and iPadOS counterparts. It's the #1 reason I have to deduct my stars... this feature is an essential part of the app for getting news out and about. Thank you!
