Hidden pay wall
Yet another app they get you to download it. create an account go through 20 screens and then they hit you with the subscription.
Fair, balanced, and eye opening.
I am a huge fan of Ground News. I’ve grown to trust them to offer access to a broad spectrum of news stories and outlets. I love the fact that they source from worldwide media, and that their app and website are easy to navigate and understand. It’s clear that the so-called Left and Right are being fed news catered to their biases, but at Ground News I can cut through that noise to learn what each side is hearing, and hopefully be better placed to offer both sides when talking with my friends or strangers.

Great idea, but
I downloaded Ground News as a potential moderate alternative news aggregator after becoming frustrated with the bias of others. I love the idea, but the stories are presented with the left bias articles first. There does not appear to be a way to change this setting. As a consequence, the default doesn’t look all that different from other left leaning sources without a lot of swiping. Allowing users to choose the bias that is presented as the default or simply defaulting to the middle would better align with the mission of the app.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!!!!
I genuinely loved the idea of this, but after accessing the free trial I realized it truly wasn’t worth the money. I cancelled my subscription BEFORE the free trial ended, yet they’re still trying to pull $42 off of my card. I keep my money in a separate account and only move what I need, so I’m now getting “card declined” messages on a daily basis. Since the app runs their subscription through the App Store, I’m now soft banned and can’t update any of my apps because I refuse to pay for a subscription I already cancelled. Absolute scam.

Frustrating as hell the moment you want to read source article
If the point is to restore credibility to the news by comparing coverage across political views it delivers (for the most part).
But credibility rises and falls on the readers ability to simply visit a source to verify it or research deeper… and her GroundNews fails miserably.
Try using the mobile app to read a GroundNews article and then navigate to an individual article *outside* the app. This journey is an exercise and frustration.
GroundNews wants your data, so they keep you landlocked. They would rather keep you and your data than let you travel freely and the verify sources with ease.

THIS IS AN AI APP
AI is destroying humanity & wild life. Rather than using our brains this app took the AI approach.
Great concept of an app, but when I saw its all AI I deleted it

Claims to be unbiased but
Every ground news ad on youtube promoting lies against Israel. Previously sent me to news article it declared “center”. First paragraph whined about “election lies”, second about “election deniers”.
Real journalists would say “disputed claims.”
This is just more fake news pretending to be a fact checker.

Communist Organization
Your summaries are total bias towards their socialist agenda. Defending criminals and terrorizing organizations and countries
Excellent news source!
I love being able to review the headlines and see how things are being reported from both sides of the spectrum. Helps me have a more balanced view. I hate how polarized we’ve all become.
Excellent app except for subscription issues
(Just changed my rating from 2 to 5 stars now that my subscription works, but ngl it was frustrating.) The Ground News app is very well designed and is a pleasure to use. The concept is brilliant and I consider it to be a reliable news source. Assuming no more glitches, the premium version is well worth the fee.

Great News Service succinct, no editorializing
Great sorry hit one star meat 10
Love it
Ground News is great. It really helps you to make up your own mind about a subject in the headlines, instead of getting fed with news the mainstream media thinks you need to hear.
Not What it Seems
Ground News is not the app you think it is. In an effort to avoid bias they dig their heels into bias by using Ad Fontes’ bias chart which is wildly biased against the left putting Midas Touch as less truthful than Fox News which is objectively false. There’s no way Ground can be unbiased when aggregating from such biased sources.

iOS 26.5.2
Frequently, when I try to open the app, it will not load past the splash screen. I'm using an up-to-date iPhone. This is frustrating.
Cannot unsub
Information is fantastic. Does exactly what it says. However there isn’t a button to unsubscribe through the app nor on their website. To me that completely ruined the experience. I intended on coming back when I could afford but now I’ll just sort through information myself again and save the extra $100.

Excellent Sources
I am new to Ground News, so far I’m satisfied.
Getting worse
Initially I enjoyed the bullet-point summaries of the stories but as 2026 progresses, the summaries are taking on an increasingly left-leaning bias. I already cancelled my paid account and my give up on it all together.
Psychological operation
Do not trust their non-bias news, it’s very biased. Just because they market as known by doesn’t mean they’re not. They consider Fox News more reliable than many other more reliable outlets.
they gave me a refund
i like ground news, i use it, but i dont have the money right now; i had an automatic payment go through for 100 bucks, which was bad for me, but they refunded it no problem. these guys are great and if you can afford it its worth it
Love Ground News
I absolutely love Ground News and they are my go-to morning news routine! I love that I don’t have to jump around to many different websites and stories because they are all right here. And I really love how they break down all the news information on who the story is sponsored by and how it’s bias leans (left or right)! If you want the best access to all the news in one place come check out Ground News! They are the best and have excellent customer service!!
