User reviews

3rd review.. why do they keep getting deleted?

I have strong negative emotions regarding this most recent update. As this is the 3rd time leaving a review, I am not in the mood to repeat my on the more granular f details of why the update is new updates UI/UX is steaming hot trash.

I’ll simply say this, if it ain’t broke, don’t fkn fix it.

Someone thought they were being a wise, innovation POS. Someone needs fired, and someone was over paid.

AI Schlock

Ground always had a clear AI vibe but it used to be very broad summaries for an article. Newest update goes from short summaries to full interpretations. Clown show to think anyone wanted this.

Horrible News Coverage

Carelessly employs A.I. and calls that reporting. Highly inaccurate summaries clearly biased. Provides me extensive coverage of local reporting in India and I am thousands of miles away from India. I will never pay a penny for this trashy piece of garbage.

Good content, bad AI written English

The concept and topic picking is great, but the summaries can sometimes be difficult to interpret. The algorithm needs to weight more toward ease of reading versus succinctness.

Expensive

I’m too poor to pay for news, as I think most people probably are.
