  • Good layout and consolidation of news

    I like how this app collects and categorizes today’s news and make it easy for people to skim, react, and explore more. This helps a lot for me to digest news since there is so much news everyday and I am a busy person who doesn’t have a lot of time to keep up with the news that goes on. I also like the visual designs of the app as it’s very engaging and simple that it doesn’t distract me from reading the information presented to me.

  • A must try!!

    This app is exceptionally unique and well thought out! I appreciate how it provides personalized shades alongside top trending ones, keeping you in the loop with everything that’s happening. It also offers multiple perspectives on a topic, which differentiates itself from other news sources. I highly recommend downloading/trying it out because you might just end up adding it to your daily routine.

  • New Favorite news app

    As someone who doesn’t want to spend time reading pages full of text to keep up with current news, this app has saved me time and effort to become current again. I’m loving the fun vibes combined with less biased bits of news from all over.

    And if you get addicted you won’t mind! Mindless scrolling through social media- we’ve been there and after a while you realize you just wasted time and have no useful info! This is not that!
