  • Get the facts for yourself!

    The Ground News app is how I get my news and I highly recommend it! Modern media lacks transparency and trust as it's often polarizing and sensationalist. Media outlets are always pushing narratives and it can be confusing to understand what's really hapening. With Ground News, I can go to one place to see coverage from both the left and the right. This way, I can get the facts for myself and discover the truth. I also really like the Blindspot feed, which is something I've only ever seen with Ground News. I highly reccomend you share this app with your friends and family as it's a great way to build bridges with people who think differently.

    This is the best news app I’ve ever found. I love the Blindspot feature that shows me articles that might go against my natural bias. I think society has been extremified, and this app keeps me grounded in the middle, and keeps me on my toes. Thank you Harleen Kaur & Sukh Singh for sticking to your guns and finding a way to give back this wonderful gift to society 🙏❤️
  • Not worth it

    I paid for their Vantage plan, and after two months with the service just in the background it’s more an annoyance than a help. A lot of the articles that popup are the usual clickbait (with the extreme headlines that got me to STOP reading the news in my teens) rather than actually informative. To reply to their response to this review; I KNOW THERE’s no editorializing to the headlines! My problem is for the notifications theres no way to pick which kind shows up! It’s only their own “suggested” filtering which may as well be editorializing! Either let me pick what sorting method I want (I’m not sure why it’s not factual by default if that’s what you’re going for) or this is pretty much just a glorified newspaper or RSS feed. My problem isn’t just the headlines, it’s that the notifications STILL show only the most clickbait headline and you have to go into the app to even get the factual headline. What am I paying for then? Also, even though I follow a majority of different topics in various different fields and areas the news this spits out leans EXTREMELY political! I get almost nothing but political news! I get that we’re in a big election year for America, but there are other things going on! I already hear the election stories it gives me BEFORE this gives them to me because I follow people on YouTube (It’s where I heard about this. I’m really starting to think the marketing for this is stronger than the actual app itself)
  • Great idea but too buggy

    I was really hoping this app would work for me. In an algorithm-driven media landscape, it’s becoming increasingly hard to resist getting stuck in a news bubble. Unfortunately, I repeatedly encountered a major issue: news articles not loading, or loading the wrong article. I would estimate that out of every 4 articles I clicked, at least one would be inaccessible. This made the app unusable. I’m back to Apple News for now.
  • The App Has Good Bones

    By anewidea
    The app has good bones, but it is missing some good UI/UX design choices and is lacking customization. Keep up the great work, but please focus on user experience and aesthetics. Especially in dark mode.
  • Confusing

    It’s a bit confusing to navigate at first but I love the variety of articles and the breakdown of who’s airing this news.
  • Love this app!

    UPDATE: I’m updating my review from 4 stars to 5 after learning how to change the bias bar color scheme from the international version of the app to the US version. Thank you Ground News! Original review: I recently discovered this app and have been so pleased! I love the range of coverage, and I appreciate being able to follow topics that are important to me. My only complaint is that left leaning sources are highlighted in red and right leaning sources in blue, which seems backwards and confusing to this American!
  • The best newsfeed I’ve ever seen in my life!

    By Zaldarff
    I am completely totally in love with how this thing breaks down the biases between the Democrats and the Republicans and everybody in between I’m also in love with the whole format of how you can click just about anywhere or anyone or any news feed such as US news or AP news or any of the other channels and be able to go around the world if need be to get news from every angle, and from every viewpoint. There are some accessibility issues, however. I am legally blind, and it would be nice if you could change the font size on somebody’s settings other than that this is the best things I’ve ever seen.

    There’s no way to cancel. And their help link does not work. Stay away from this scam.
