Still politically motivated
Yea, sounds good in principle, but when 90% of the articles are from hard left leaning publications and the ones that are not don’t touch politics at all, leads me to believe that this is still awfully bias. Also, there is no way that I have found to remove news sources. For example, if you dont want to get anything from fox or the beast, there is no way to exclude it. Long and short, it takes the sensational language away so you feel more balanced, but it does nothing to change the content.

Amazing!
Very useful, good design, and easy to use!
Great app for those who despise sensationalism
This is a great app, sadly I think it has come too late. Everyone is so indoctrinated in their confirmation biased news cycle that I don’t see this app gaining traction. Which is sad, it is the type of thing we need the most right now, but we don’t deserve…
Refreshing change
I’ve only had the app for a few weeks but I’m well pleased. The stories are timely and well written. It’s a refreshing change.
Inaccuracies
An article from today referred to Trump as “Former President Trump”.
Breath of fresh air
Using AI for good
Outdated news
The news is never new. Just some stale content.
Great except failed to remove stories with no content
The app is good and the idea is great but it’s a bit shocking that the app is several years old and yet still displays articles titles that failed to generate correctly like “No News Article Content Provided for Summarization” and “Report on Inaccessible Web Page Content”.
The news feed generation process should include removal of articles that failed to generate. Instead, currently you will see articles in the feed that have a goofy title like this and a 15 sentence summary about how the article failed to generate.

Annoying
What an annoying app. Deleted immediately
Makes the news readable again
News media is way too sensationalistic these days, so much so that you can’t read the news without a minor heart attack.
This app fixes the issue.
This app fixes the issue.
Best way to keep up and stay sane
I love this app! One of the reasons i avoid reading news is because all the sensationalism and outrage stoking leaves me feeling upset. But this app makes the news very boring, and provides short, bland summaries of each article. I can scroll through the app for ten minutes a day to get a sense of what’s going on without ever feeling annoyed. Would also love the ability to filter out articles by keyword.

Manditory
I never wrote reviews but this app is a game changer.
Just started using
If you ask me for a review when I just start using you get three stars. Stupid time to ask.
Love!
Widget please 🙏🏾
One of my favourite apps
Include widgets and this would be perfect!
Phenomenal
Exceeded my expectations while respecting my time, for the first time in decades I actually feel smarter after reading the News
Great news app
I love this app's design, and I love that I don't have to pay for the news. Perfectly boring and such an amazing idea. A big thank you to the creator(s) of this app!
Biased media outlets as sources
Please stop showing stories from biased Israeli media, including Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel. Why isn’t there a way to edit and remove news sources?
Exactly as the title says - Boring
This is extremely useless. All this does is group a bunch of news headlines. There are like 500 apps that do this already. Do something novel other than just being a summary wrapper around ChatGPT.
