Best News app I came across!

Google Play review

best news app ever

Love the format

Aug 26, 2026 · HoldingOn4DearLife

I downloaded this on a whim, and I really enjoy it. I like how it's easy to flip through news catered by my interests. I value unbiased news, which is getting incredibly more difficult to obtain in the U.S. Thank you to the kind Redditor for introducing me!

News from Left Right and Center

Jun 23, 2026 · MissyDu

Personally I’m enjoying this app. It’s just news which is good to see. Fair and balanced. I like that it’s not an echo chamber. It tells you what viewpoint you’re reading. I did ask the developer why a majority of the news seems to be left and center. The developers’s response was they just want the facts of the matter which I appreciate very much. Also when speaking with the developer they seemed to really care about what I thought about the app. If it matters I came across this on a Reddit post.

Google Play review

May 15, 2026 · Google Play user

This app aims to (and currently is) creating an environment where news isn't one sided. It is genuinely taking news and informing you based on the narrative, affiliation and various other things to show where the bias is, which way it leans, etc. Truly this is a needed app to have especially while we live in uncertain times regarding mainstream media.

Great news app

Apr 24, 2026 · mboytwo

This is a very well done and thought out news app that helps me break through the noise of traditional news publications and helps me understand both sides of any given story and topic!

All perspectives in one place

Apr 24, 2026 · Boohyys

This app saves me the hassle of checking left and right sources separately - different perspectives are served up side by side. Plus, I always stay on top of what’s trending without having to hunt for it.

Google Play review

Apr 16, 2026 · Google Play user

This is the best news app I ever used. I wonder what took so long for it to appear in my recommendation. Good job devs.

Google Play review

Apr 8, 2026 · Google Play user

It's very good as a news source, but I don't like how limited everything is without premium. I understand needing to make at least enough money to sustain itself, but I still don't particularly like it

Google Play review

Apr 6, 2026 · Google Play user

This is so close to what we need for news. Just have a few gripes and I will change my review if completed: 1. there are times where the news would fidget a bit. I scroll a little but then two stories get skipped. Maybe it's my 21:9 aspect ratio but it is still an issue. 2. I would much rather have central news sources (not left or right). I want that filter. 3. Maybe it's the AI but some stories repeat themselves as I scroll. Dev seems like he listens so I'm willing to give benefit.

Multi source happiness

Apr 3, 2026 · JustMikesOpinion

This app provides me with viewpoints from multiple sources. It helps you see the same situation in multiple perspectives and allows you to find the real story through all the propaganda. Loving it.

Thank you Reddit developer

Mar 26, 2026 · jp44134

I really enjoy this app. Very user friendly. Informative content and ease of access to content even with the free version as it should be. Thanks again and I recommend this for anyone.

Very useful

Mar 21, 2026 · Peter Markström

As a former ground news user, this app shows promise. Where ground news gets messy, droid is cleaner and a smoother experience.
