Objectively this is not journalism but more of a product.
This app uses push notifications to send all the most sensationalist stories to you, lacking facts.
I've had it for a few months and it doesn't take a genius to notice that the phrasing of the headlines for the most part is grotesque.
It'll leave you feeling worse off, generally, because of their approach to journalism and wouldn't advise downloading it for that reason.
If you like to be bombarded with the notifications of any pseudo-writer's half attempt at a story (with little or no facts included) this app is otherwise well designed and functions appropriately.
