Довольно предвзятое ранжирование СМИ, удивительно было увидеть некоторые абсолютно леволиберальные агенства обозначенные как "правые". Даже до смешного доходит - идеологические наследники левых идей (ТАСС) к примеру обозначены как правые. И таких оказий много, особенно в отношении не американских СМИ. Французским, испанским, итальянским изданиям на английском наверно было бы интересно узнать что у них несколько радикальная позиция. Зато большинство американских СМИ (судя по этой выборке) - почти все центристы, со взвешенной позицией (конечно пример FOX очевидный, но это лишь отклонение от нормы). Ах да, это всё алгориитмы, никакой политики. Вот как надо преподносить информацию в новых реалиях - не важно, кто объективен, важно чтобы был консенсус.

Easy to use, you could actually see how information could be seen through the different lenses

Ok when one is mainly interested in (delayed) US news or sports. The app is often late compared to DR, The Guardian or the BBC when it comes to reporting important events - it even creates alerts on yesterdays news. It’s also very sports focused when it comes to local news without the ability to set preferences (sometimes one can select a preference on fewer news from specific teams but never from a specific sport or sport in general). There are few instances where a news story is a blindspot for the left, it seems like most news are reported by all outlets or have blindspots for the right. So overall not so useful.

The concept is great, there is definitely a product/market fit and a real need for such a solution. However, for European target audience, it’s pretty rubbish: Despite customising the feed and my interests, the news I get are just not very relevant to me. With a such diverse nation landscape like in Europe, there needs to be a higher degree of customisation l. The devs say they pull 50,000+ sources - well, then let me select some of the countries around me. I still end up with US this, US that, Ottawa this, Montreal that …

10/10 product. Will recommend. It not only highlights the political biases in an article, but it also shows whether an article is factual or not.

Ground News helps me stay up to date while evaluating fact vs misinformation. Insights into the degree of bias in the information we receive in news, are a rare thing these days.

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.
