Disappointed
I have been finding a lot of value in these news apps that provide an easy way to read narrative from the left and the right on current events and topics. This app has some great potential, but it is showing the exact same article from the exact same source as being left biased and later when I scrolled down as being right biased. I wish I could provide screen shots. The article is definitely written from a left leaning bias. There are better apps that do a great job of truly providing narrative from the left and right without confusing the two.Show lessxolto

I saw Max Tegmark on Lex Fridman and respect the work both are doing. When they mentioned this, I had to download it. Awesome!Escva

I've only recently discovered this app and it's already risen to the top of my news app collection. I've found that, being asked to consciously choose whether I want to read articles that care about being factual or not so much, that lean left or right, that skim quickly over a topic or take a deeper look, has made me more mindful of the information I'm allowing to influence me and led to better choices, which has in turn made reading the news much more enjoyable. I've kept the sliders in the middle when it comes to political perspective, because after each full article is a selection of stories dealing with the same topic from different venues and I like to see what all sides are thinking. I believe the problems people adopting the extremes of the political spectrum are having with this app is that they want those extreme ideas but they also want to have the slider all the way over to pure fact to validate them and are disappointed when it doesn't happen.Show lessRevelationAdept

It seems even though you’re able to split, conservative, liberal stories there always seems to be a liberal slant. Meaning they show the conservative headlines that could possibly support the liberal side. There are plenty of hardline anti-conservative headlines, but on the right side there aren’t hardline anti-liberal slants.Show less36Loverman

Hello, thank you for the review and feedback. Usually, for either side of the sliders, there should be supported articles that correctly reflect those ends of the political spectrum. In any case, we have reviewed your report about the sliders and are taking steps to eliminate any observed slider bias.This is NormaL. Or is it?
So now a days Gossip passes as news.
Here’s the guide folks. I’m responsible for my thoughts my feelings my actions and their consequences. What John dip did or didn’t do is his business. I will look for what happens in tabloids where Gossip is the name of the game.
Second thing with this app is divisiveness so I am either right or left. ? What if I am a rainbow and do not identify with all that divisiveness but with what brings people together.
How about that. How about I want to know about the good news as opposed to what this and that said or did.
Come on. Catch up. The old ways are already dry dead.

Hello, thank you for the review and feedback. It is our mission to empower people to rise above controversies and understand the world in a nuanced way. Sliders aren't designed to label the user, but are just a tool to allow users to see the context of stories across the political spectrum. On another note, we are working on including options for positive news like you mentioned :) Thanks again for the feedback!Great Tool for Neutral Perspective
By showing all facets of a news story in how it’s reported, you get a sense for what bias has been incorporated into each article.
The difference in-between the bias is often as close as you can hope to be to an accurate idea of what’s really happening.CaLuM060301
Love the website, App never works
Improve the News is a fantastic service. It really has positively changed how I read the news. I love the website and the news feed in the app works fine. Unfortunately I’m unable to open and read articles in the app. It just spins and never opens.zeke99510
