So much for level playing field.

E Jean Carrol settlement news buried on their front page. Just more noise.

$40/year for poor news filtering. No thanks!

Save your time and money for anything else. AI could do a better job of filtering news feeds than this waste of device storage space!

One Year subscription only, no monthly

Source Block Quota, why? Oh, here’s why…
Blind Spot is a weak gimmick that depends on garbage MAGA news sources to function. Without those the gimmick breaks, and so does the $40/yearly illusion.

Parrot-source news article repeats are RAMPANT! (a bug, not a feature) It’s 2026 and you can’t filter out repeating sources of the same articles, nor will you let me do so? Lame!

Articles commonly appear in wrong tab, Sponsored Ads and opinion articles posing as news are present in feed daily. Corrupt views of criminals are NOT NEWS. This is a sloppy, poor excuse of an app.

DEVELOPER, do NOT respond to me again in any form other than fixing the above mentioned bugs and I won’t bother making a competing app for $.99/month that makes a mockery of your attempt. Thanks

App Problems

This review is for the functionality of the app, not the content. I like the content in concept, but the app I downloaded doesn’t match the interface in the picture for the app. My friend has this app and got me to download it, but his app is totally different than mine. Also he sent a link that had a discount code, but there was no where to enter it. Finally, I initially signed up as Premium (the only option at sign up) but then upgraded via Apple subscriptions to Vantage (what my friend has) thinking it would get me the app like his with substantially better features, but my app and experience is basically the same as before. I don’t know what I got for the Vantage upgrade. Very confusing sign up/upgrade process

Don’t want to pay for news

As soon as I saw the ad for the app I thought “Wow, this seems great!” There’s a whole section as soon as I open the app to choose what types of news I’m interested in, and it explains about the “no catering” deal with leaning neither right or left, which I think is great.

But then after I make my choices, it hits me with the “Start Free Trial”.

IMMEDIATE. CLOSE.
