  • 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.

  • Shows the dark and the light side of the news

    Great way to figure out what’s going on in the world without all the fluff and bias of the right wing media.
  • Very good for getting the news

    This app will s amazing if you want to see all sides of a particular story. This app is up there with Ground news and I use both to get the full picture.
  • Love the idea but font is hard to read

    The font used for headlines is difficult to read and I can’t increase the font size in the settings or in the iOS accessibility settings.

    Thank you for the feedback. We just pushed a new version today including increasing font sizes and many other UI improvements.
  • Keeps crashing lately.

    I give this 5 stars because I love its controllability, and neutral nature. I’m a huge fan of Max Tegmark.
    However, lately it’s been crashing consistently.
    Please fix! No update in 2 months now.

  • No notifications

    Where are the push notifications? There are none or they don't seem to work

  • Good idea, but mostly opinion pieces not news

    The general app concept is good, but it’s held back by having too many opinion pieces mixed with the real news and by not having a feature to allow you to include or exclude specific topics based on your interests.

  • Smartless

    Just heard about your app on Smartless! Great app!! I really like the stories and maybe they could live on a separate tab from the comparison story columns so they would be easier to scroll through.

  • Almost perfect

    Would be perfect with:

    - ability to enable reader view for an article or load articles with the reader view on;

    - option to open articles in built in browser or external one.
