Not unbiased

Not unbiased. Has a liberal lean and doesn’t present breaking news either. Beware of their algorithm.

A breath of fresh air

Going down hill

When I first started using the app it was good there was some adds on some stories. Now I can’t even read a paragraph with out the same video add trying to hijack my screen . I can close the add time after time and it just pops right back up making reading impossible! I do like how they rate the sources a lot tho.

Switched to Ground News

I have been over the all sides app for a while now but only recently found a better substitute. The app continually glitches out by highlighting certain text in white and blending other text in with the dark background, making it totally unreadable. The app will often go for days without updating, forcing me to rely on biased internet searches for news. I like the presentation of multiple biases, but the write-ups are inconsistent and oftentimes exclude one side or the other. The write-ups have started to become more biased in that they have begun to use some of the keywords they like to call out in sensationalized articles. Also, their AI write-ups are often full of typos, a sign of another company diving into AI “because it’s cool” rather than having a plan or the knowledge of how to use it.

Really wish they could have moved forward and improved because I liked the app for years, but at this point Ground News has proven to be the better option.
