Leave a Review A Starting Point
Good concept! Would be better if…
I immediately downloaded when I saw this app featured on the App Store front page. I watched videos on two topics and was a bit frustrated by the media controls. They don’t match with consistent UI from iOS (play/pause off to one side instead of centered), couldn’t find closed captions, and the video stream stuttered right away for both videos I tried to watch, on a stable Wi-Fi connection. I ended up deleting the app after I heard one politician tell a straight up lie that “marijuana has addictive properties” and that legalization in my state of TX would bring in the drug cartels. (Think about it, if it’s legalized, cartels wouldn’t be in business anymore since their product would be available at common grocery stores and specialty shops, like CBD outlets.) That blatant lie shows me this app prioritizes Both Sides-ism, even when both sides are not playing by the same rules (truth and integrity MATTER.)Show lessObjective Curated Media Feed? Is That Possible?
In a world where moderates are considered indecisive and where politics have become meshed with science, education, faith, health, and our sense of selves in a way our nation has not seen for many years, even the concept of an unbiased news feed is a novelty. The only way to be certain that what you hear is not being put through someone else’s filter is to hear it from the source. In politics, that is the politicians. Not their party, not a journalist who is interpreting the information, and certainly not from random people on the Internet who have an opinion that may or may not be informed. This app has the potential to help deep polarized politics by allow them the opportunity for officials to share their perspective in a tight enough timeframe that they really have to stick to their main bullet points and not wander off into partisan language. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just when I thought there was a little hope of reconciliation in the near future, or any acceptance of a moderate like me.Show lessChanged my perspective completely, in a good way.
Before going into this, I generally favored Democratic morals over Republican morals. After watching just a few interviews, I started to question my previous logic. I strongly recommend this app to anyone looking to get into politics in their future career.
I guess I didn’t fully understand politics before. Thanks to this app, I have a better understanding of how it works and how it affects everyday life.
Thank you, Captain America- er, Andrew Stephen Barber- er, Chris Evans.Show less
