The antidote to doomscrolling and echo chambers

The app provides a simple way to get a 360 view on topical opinions instead of using a single opinion piece to form a view. It sources from news both on the left and right of the political spectrum and saves huge amounts of time associated with scouring multiple news pages and googling the same topic over and over again.

For those news addicts, I think you can save at least 30 minutes a day on this app.

Great summaries

Excellent app!

Bite sized news, app constantly getting better

Slick app, all the notifications are very timely. I open the app 3-4 times a week for maybe 2-5 mins each time and am fully caught up on the headlines. You can tell the team is listening to early user feedback and innovating at a rapid rate as the app gets better by the week.

5 stars!!

MUST download this app :)

You MUST download this app! I have been so tired of trying to keep up with all my social media and news platforms, sports and culture, fashion trends and the list goes on. I get so overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything and I have always hoped there would be some sort of app where this information to be consolidated into one place. 10/10 recommend for all ages, whether it be to simply stay in the loop, start interesting convos with friends or colleagues, or simply as a replacement to doom scrolling.

How news should’ve been done from the get go…

I love how this platform pulls together various takes on topics and empowers me to form my own opinion. There are reputable sources and easily digestible delivery for each perspective on very relevant topics!

I don’t normally leave reviews on apps but I think the more people join this wave of thoughtful news consumption, the better off we’ll be. Give it a try…

Best App to get your daily news!!!!

I have to say this app really goes above and beyond to show what your missing in the world! From news about new movies to what’s going on to other countries, this app does it all!! If I could add another star I would!! Definitely the next up and coming news source!

Better with no bias

With the recent movement in the Canadian news sector I’ve been looking for alternatives to Google and IG to get my news. This platform is great for offering unbiased perspectives + a balanced overview.

Finally a way to get a 360 take on news

News today has so much bias based on the author, that it’s really hard to just understand the real issue. Finally, I can just go to Shades and learn about each interesting news item, from all of its shades, whether I agree or like them or not. It’s gives me a complete perspective now, and I feel much more informed now that I can make my own opinions with a 360 perspective on each issue.

I feel like I’ve been looking for an app like this for years now, and I’m delighted to finally have one!
