This is a great app if you are into the news. It’s been one of the best news hub in the form of the app that I have ever found. I even paid for the yearly subscription on their high tier plan but unfortunately in just a few days, I deeply regretted my act. It’s […]

I really wanted to like this app, as it appeared to have priorities straight. However, the privacy is a major concern with this app. A tracking blocking software reports that within just 10mins of use over 10,000 tracking attempts were blocked and this app feeds 70! companies that collect personal information from within my device: […]
Does not work well with dark mode. It used to, but one of the more recent updates must have broken it. I used to pay for premium, but don’t anymore. I think, other than a few minor annoyances removed, premium doesn’t get you much. You still have pay walls from individual sources blocking access. The […]
I have set my notification preferences three times and the app is still trying to have me turn on notifications. If I can change it anytime in the settings, then stop nagging me. If I want notifications, I’ll enable them. I don’t. As for everything else, most things appear to be locked behind a paywall […]
It’s a great service. The app could use a little improvement. My main issue is when reading articles in the built-in browser, there’s no way to properly go back if I click a link in the article. The links work and will go to the right page, but using the back button/gesture exits the article […]
Seems pretty cool so far; it does what the YouTube pitchers promise. But I don’t like how it uses, as many apps do these days, an embedded browser instead of the one I set as default in my device’s settings. Yes, you can click an icon in the upper right of an article and it […]
Subscibed. Potentially very interesting and valuable approach to the news, but app is NOT easy to navigate. A bigger problem is that they keep losing my paid subscription. I paid for a year but benefits only last a few weeks, app keeps asking me to subscribe and downgrades my account. Customer services corrected this the […]
My favorite news app, good for keeping things clear as things continue to go sideways here in the US. If I could make a request to the team though: it would be nice if we could set more than one location for “local” news. I’m a college student studying far from home, and it would […]
Watched a YouTube ad and then went through the sign-up process before anything was mentioned about a paid subscription to unlock all the features. It’s in the fine print, but they definitely try to trick people into downloading the app before discovering it. If they were honest up front and offered a free trial, I […]
Exceptionally valuable, I use a few different new apps, but ground news is my favorite. It gives me articles I might miss, I can read right, left, and center articles to determine what is fact, what is opinion, and and shouldn’t even be considered. The small subscription fee is underselling it, but I am glad […]
I have no issues paying for my content, I generally have a problem with a new NEWS service saying $5/month, but charges for a year…. I would’ve had NO problem paying for a month, to make my decision, but we’re not given that opportunity.. 7 days, barely enough time to find out what you’re doing…. […]
really enjoy this app. it’s helped me make sure I’m not so stuck in a singular news bubble like can happen with Social media algorithms and the like. It has been awesome and helpful. Hoping to see many more local news channels. Also needs more notification controls such as selecting only certain publications and further […]
The app is good but there are a few issues: 1- why is there no subscription option for Vantage? Can you give an eta on that? 2- it would be nice to be able to read at least a little more from the paywalled articles within the subscription. 3- as many people have already mentioned […]
I signed up for the free trial, which it’s weird that the highest tier doesn’t offer a free trial when you input a promo code. I am actually most interested in that tier, but won’t pay for something that I cannot try first. After signing up, the screen never loaded, so I closed the app […]
has full bias coverage and all the important headlines, the free version works very well (no ads, just less features) but I got the $10 yrly subscription and love it. it also doesn’t encourage “the scroll” like other apps; you get on, you read what’s happening today and thats it, there’s the bottom of the […]
Due to a login error on Ground News end, I did not have access to my account for the first two months of my subscription. I reached out and requested a refund, but was only offered a login solution months later, never directly responding to my request for a refund. My emails to support clearly […]
it’s okay… I don’t really get the hype. Interface is clunky. Articles are often obnoxiously short and riddled with ads, popups and links, everything but substance. The bias trackers and other “features” are mostly useless, and probably biased themselves. I got the pro plan it’s cheap and still doesn’t feel worth it. I thought I […]
it’s a pretty useful app in times like these, but there’s two criticisms I have. the right being blue and the left being red really messes with my brain, since it’s the other way around in america. Also, I don’t know if the app filters out AI articles, and since it isn’t stated, I’m going […]
great tool. would love to use it more, but it slips my mind. one thing that might work would be if the app had like an auto-podcast system. let me specify some rules for generating a playlist, and a Text-to-Speech voice reads off the summary before playing the next item in the list. During play, […]
In general a great app! And even using the free version is fantastic and I learn a lot of news that I wouldn’t have learned without this app. The only thing that frustrates me is that the app seems to have this bug where it automatically unsaves my stories for later and its ones that […]
