User reviews

Cuts the click bait!

This app weeds out the click bait, and gives me a feel for the actual content of an article before I click in to read it. Saves me a ton of time and effort reading stuff with no substance.

Plus the “good news” filter turns my doom scrolling habit into something much more productive.
