  • Know Your News

    Ground News lets you know the source of what you are reading and how it may or may not be biased and which way. It makes it easy to get a balanced picture of what is really going on in the world and helps weed out political and social bias.
  • Moderates will love it

    If you are a person like me who likes to hear both side sides of the story, you will love this news app. It shows you how factual the reporting is, and it also shows you “blind spots” - things that only Republicans are reading about, or only democrats are reading about
  • Relief

    So tired of deciding which websites are not lying. Almost gave up the news altogether. Ground News gives me a chance to tune into the world again.
  • Really A Piece of Junk

    Lots of things gone wrong, but not much more offensive than to categorize the physical, sexual assault on Mexico’s President Sheinbaum as “offbeat news” — what is this app run by, a bunch of uni frat bros who think sexual assault is somehow “funny” or, in your words, “off-beat”? Grow up, children. This isn’t third grade anymore.
  • Most reliable source of news.

    If like me you’re tired of biais legacy media and being lied to, give a shot at ground news, it really helped me take a step back from all the noise and have a better understanding of what’s going on around us.
  • Finally, stories focused on my interests

    I am finding stories that I would have missed along with all the important news of the day. I’m not sure how they pull all this together, but well done Ground News.
  • Can’t even open

    I had high hopes but the app crashed every time I opened it.
  • Cancelling Soon Too Costly

    I would cancel this today for lack of use - but no where in the account information - do I see a “cancel subscription” button. Just like every other sub I have. Like the Roach Motel - “they get in, but they can’t get out.”
  • Local news

    My only complaint so far is that the local tab is only showing national news even though I have the location set to my town
  • AI Does Cannot Read External Credibility Ratings

    I was a fan of this service for a while, but it shows incorrect data from Media Bias/Fact Check. It seems to translate MBFC’s rating of “mostly factual” to high every time, despite MBFC having a separate rating of “high” above “mostly factual.” This means that many tabloid sources and state-run sources from hostile foreign countries are listed as “high factuality” within the Ground News app, despite the MBFC and Adfontes ratings putting these sources as “mixed factuality.” This issue seems to get worse with non-US sources, and it seems that a lot of Russian and Iranian propaganda outlets are rated as “high factuality.” The summary of credibility is one of the only services this app provides that’s worth paying for, and its AI can’t even do it correctly. I have emailed about this a few times, but got rude and inaccurate replies. I plan on canceling my subscription if I don’t hear back about them fixing this today. I’ll update my review if they fix the issue.
