Shades: News & Culture

I used Shades back when if was cf, and redownloaded it recently only to be bombarded with ai images. Almost every single news story cover is made with AI, which makes me concerned that their stories are written with it too. I’m saddened that this company has resorted to the laziness of using AI instead of paying real artists or simply using stock images!

Good app, easy to use.

Shades I feel is an upgraded New York Times app. It is super easy to use and allows for you to easily access news you want to see. The headlines are nice and are what you see as you enter the app, but once you are in your news tab, that is where the news game is changed. Additionally, the app is beautifully designed and nice to look at and play around in. There also are some fun games and quizzes. Excellent app!

I love the idea of a balanced news experience! Too often we are confronted with bias in the news. I love that this app asks questions rather than making statements. Definitely check it out!

As soon as you launch it, it requires registering and verifying with a phone number or email address with no explanation, and then forces you to choose a username, again with no explanation. No way to preview the app or simply browse without an account.

I’ve had this app for almost 2 years now. I downloading it just because of the baw game, but the news stories were a nice touch. Please bring back baw and the word game! I unfortunately will no longer be using this app but I hope you guys manage to get baw to work in the new interface or whatever the problem was. Loved that game

This is a great app to get a variety of perspectives on the same topic. It’s easy to use and has great features.

This app is truly breathtaking. It is designed in a way to receive unbiased news about various topics. Its use of vibrant colors and eye catching news titles is very clever. It allows you to understand everything that is occurring in the world without taking up a lot of time!

I like how this app collects and categorizes today’s news and make it easy for people to skim, react, and explore more. This helps a lot for me to digest news since there is so much news everyday and I am a busy person who doesn’t have a lot of time to keep up with the news that goes on. I also like the visual designs of the app as it’s very engaging and simple that it doesn’t distract me from reading the information presented to me.

This app is exceptionally unique and well thought out! I appreciate how it provides personalized shades alongside top trending ones, keeping you in the loop with everything that’s happening. It also offers multiple perspectives on a topic, which differentiates itself from other news sources. I highly recommend downloading/trying it out because you might just end up adding it to your daily routine.
