News that doesn't feel like work!

Unlike other news apps which often feel like I am taking my vitamins or eating vegetables, shades really makes it fun. What sets this app apart from the others is its simple and easy-to-use interface, which makes navigating through the app a breeze. It’s super familiar to social apps and doesn’t feel like work to go through.

The content is kind of like axios for everything, where it gives you just what you need to know and nothing more nothing less. Super convenient, and fits well within my day of when I have a few minutes to kill and just want to learn something.

Definitely worth trying out!

Great app! Been looking for this for a while

I enjoy that it’s to the point and digestible, as I don’t have time to read long winded articles. It keeps you updated on current events and provides you with many points of view, helping to form a well rounded thought/opinion. Excited to see where this goes!

Great!!

The app makes it easy to swipe through and learn what you need to know about interesting topics. It also uses pretty unbiased and reputable sources, which is reassuring when compared to other ways of getting news. Overall really quick, easy to use, and reputable info.

Great app!

One-stop shop for any topic from current events to meme topics. Also pulls info from news sources for which I don’t have a subscription which makes news more accessible to me. The format is also very digestible so I can catch up on many different topics in a short amount of time! Overall a very good app for news and everyone should get it

Easy to use and interesting quick hitters! 5 stars!

I loved this app as I found myself scrolling and scrolling! It’s an efficient way to get a lot with a little. Only after 5 or 10mins I felt like I had scrolled through hundreds of topics, getting the most important headlines while maintaining the ability to drill into the topics I was most curious about.

Loving it!!

Have been using this app to keep up to speed! Gives a super to-the-point overview but still manages to cover multiple perspectives. Also helpful that it cites the original source so you know where to look for more. Awesome way to stay up to date on the latest!!

Perfect for quick news bites

This app is perfect for staying up to date with the news but without feeling overwhelmed. You get little summaries that let you read about a bunch of different topics and then you can dive deeper into the ones you care about the most. So easy to use too!

disappointed in the update

i loved the old format. it definitely needed an upgrade but this is awful. the name change is forgetful. the new logo is very ugly. and my fav game baw is “coming soon”. so frustrating the colors are awful i miss the old way of navigating the app

Cf??

What happened

shades is the future

this is a major improvement on what was already a revolutionary app. shades is what i loved about cf.: agile, smart, and fair, but now with a more relaxed and warm interface. really happy with the content and where this app brings me on a daily basis.
