Description of Verity News

Verity is a free news app created by the Improve the News Foundation (ITN), an apolitical American non-profit. It aims to counter misuses of artificial intelligence that have resulted in a distorted online news environment, where alternative facts often overshadow scientific truths, and biased narratives contribute to social discord. Verity’s aim is to empower people to discover the complete and nuanced truth behind every major news story. It does this by separating facts from narratives. This even includes “nerd narratives” from the Metaculus forecasting community. Verity is also a powerful news aggregator facilitating viewing news from multiple perspectives.

  • Now with Full screen video ads that keep re-opening??

    I’ve been a big fan of this since I heard Max talking about it on a physics podcast. It is my only news app. I love its controllability, and neutral nature. I’m a huge fan of Max Tegmark. However, as of fairly recently the “full screen” pop-up video ads are making it very hard to stick with! The problem is the ads continue to come back (full screen) after you close them and scroll. It’s practically impossible to read articles due to this. I know it’s free and I’ve always been willing to deal with ads due to that, but you close these full screen pop-up video ads and they come right back after another “scroll” I first noticed it with “Daily wire” so, I removed Daily Wire from preferences” (which is a great ability to have!) But, it seems most the other news sites are having the same full screen, re-occurring video ads as well. This is the first time in my life I’ve felt bad about giving a “low star review” because I believe in Max Tegmark and this endeavor. However, it has been frustrating. The developer response has been fantastic for this app so, I give 2 stars just so this gets read. I will change it right back to 5 if I learn that this must be a problem with my phone or otherwise remedied.
