Wonderful

Must read

One sided

You only get the mainstream media in this app, so what you see is all “ornage man bad Biden good” stories.

Kind of worthless if you want a well-rounded viewpoint. Not really the apps fault, but the developers could add some right leaning sites to the mix to help alleviate this problem. If they wanted to, that is.

Good start, needs more...

To escape from the Red vs. Blue Facebook phenomenon, I tried out this app to keep an eye on stories from various sides of the political spectrum. It’s helping! Unfortunately, the app doesn’t seem to allow you to add news sources and doesn’t yet link to thinks like Jacobin or some of the more progressive & socialist news outlets. I will share the heck out of this app to my fellow politicos if more progressive news sites are added in the future.

Very Left

When I saw this app I thought no way could a news source be a somewhat even mix. I downloaded it hoping I was wrong. I was not. Don’t waste your time. Reading these articles is like looking at the back side of the tower of Pisa. It’s pretty left leaning and it’s claim of neutrality is completely false.

Great

Delivers sharp up to the minute political news.

The best news about politics

Many different sources. Appears unbiased. Makes you think and form your own opinions.

Perspectives from everywhere

Love to see political viewpoints from the entire spectrum. This sight brings it together in one place for easy, convenient review.

Scam popups

Couldn't get it to work without several popups in chains. Even one saying my iPhone was full of viruses... Unbereable. Removed

Unusable Now

I've used this app for a long time and really liked it but lately it's become unusable. I paid $3.99 for no ads and as others have noted it only took ads off the main page. You would still get pop ups within articles while trying to read them. This was annoying but wasn't terrible in its frequency so I tolerated it.

But now I keep getting the same pop up over and over that looks to me like a scam to infect my tablet. It has a Google header but in poor English it declares my iPad is 28.1% infected from "four virus" and prompts to click the blue button for help. If I try to exit back to main page it doesn't let me & another pop up prompts me to go to AppStore(doesn't look legit) which I refuse to click on leaving me to exit the app entirely & start over. It keeps repeating every few minutes on multiple articles. It only occurs in this app.

I contacted politomix support with a pic but have received no response. I really don't like feeling like someone is trying to scam me into infecting my device or is phishing or whatever. Regular pop ups were bad enough but this is just too much.

A five star app reduced to one star. Fix the app and I'll change my rating. Assuming I haven't deleted it before then.

Ad Free is not actually Ad Free

Great app but I gave it one star because I paid 3.99 for the ad free version. DO NOT bother doing this because it only removes the ads on the main page, all articles you click still have ads everywhere and even pop up ads still come up sometimes when I click on an article. This is a huge rip off and intentionally deceptive.
