All Good Things Turn Bad
When I first downloaded Ground News a year ago, I felt like this was the news app I had been looking for. I was tired of the blatant bias in media on both sides. Ground News was a refreshing alternative where you could see the top stories and how both sides were sinning the news. My feed felt very balanced between stories “For the Right” and “For the Left”.
However, in the last few months, as with most “news” media, the Top Stories and my feed in general have been heavily catered to the left. My feed is about 90% positive left and 10% positive right. This app seems to have a clear political affiliation and it is sad to see.

Exactly as advertised
Everyone should be using this as their main news source
Perfect way to keep up with all the news and to keep an eye on bias.
So glad to have found discovered this app, it more than an app with website is great too. Every morning I get my digest of the last 24 hours, and articles that are generally important.
My only niggle would be the summary tone of voice that is cliché AI.
Otherwise spot on!

Not too useful
Expensive and doesn’t really accomplish anything. Anyone with average critical thinking skills or better doesn’t need this app at all. You still can’t read paywalled articles so the app is pointless if you have basic reading comprehension.
Truly a non-partisan view into today’s news cycle
Ground News doesn’t tell you what to think, it shows you who is covering a story (and how the framing differs by bias). The Blindspot feature alone justifies the app: it flags stories that are getting heavy coverage on one side and near silence on the other, which is the fastest way I’ve found to catch my own gaps in information. Independent, subscriber-funded, no-algorithm BS. Worth checking for yourself.
