Ground News

I would like to say thank you to Ground News for the following reasons: 1. It’s super convenient to find all news in one place. I no longer need to browse different apps and website which takes lots of time. 2. Now I am less worried about political bias and fake news. Most people don’t have time to review sources and company agendas. 3. The local news section is brilliant. And the maps feature is very cool! Just subscribed for a month of premium. I hope your company continues to thrive and I’m happy to support it. I will sign up for longer if I find the time to read the news as much as I’d like.

I’m very interested and extremely close to using this app to replace all my news reading apps. The single thing holding me back with the app is not having the option to jump straight into the browser view when looking at a full article. I love that it has a button that lets you do this once you open an article and LOVE that it loads straight into reader view and loads all my extensions because I get a dark mode view with my content blockers all working. I just wish we could have a toggle that makes it the default, like other apps have. Something that says “open in-app or use reader mode in the built-in browser.” Short of that little nitpick, I’m blown away by this service. This is what I have been looking for and having to do on my own for years and years. Bless you for making this service. I will be referring ALL of my friends and family to this.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great app and very objective in its mission, but now you have to pay more than double what you used to pay to get the same features. I don’t need the app to get the information I need in my daily life, but it does to make it easier. However the enormous increase in price all of a sudden just put me off so I’ll get my news like I use to for free.

Made the mistake of watching an embedded twitter video on one of your stories and Ground allowed twitter to hijack my audio and it kept playing in the background even after I force closed Ground. Had to completely reboot my phone to get it to shut up. Apparently this is the latest ad strategy. Blare ads from an audio/video source the end user can’t close out of or shut down.

App performs just like the web version. User interface consistency between the two means I don’t have to adapt depending on app vs website.

Highly recommend supporting GN

I understand they use and sort articles from the news agencies as they exist but if they have five headlines to chose from it’s always the left leaning one that’s displayed. I just want unbiased centrist news, maybe one day.

Finally, there’s something out there that gives you a more comprehensive and objective view of media biases. Sadly, I’ve lost some family members to right-wing conspiratorial thinking. It’s unfortunate because so much misinformation and “alternative news sites“have persuaded and lied to them. I hope this app can be part of the recovery program from conspiratorial thinking.

This is one of the most helpful news applications I’ve used. It gives you a summary of a story from the perspective of multiple news outlets whether they are right, center or left in their bias. It will also give you links to each of those independent stories with their left, center or right leaning bias. For any particular summary of a story reporter from numerous news perspectives it also puts these news media on a visual spectrum in terms of their bias. It will also warn if reading a particular article is a blindside for left or right. Very helpful to get to center news that is less biased.

This app makes it easy to see when the Legacy Media tries to control the media by false information and false narratives
