### 5/5 — Useful news app

*2019-10-03, version 1.5*

This is going to sound like one of those paid reviews you see on Amazon, but there is really not much more to say than this app is very helpful, provides a good cross section of articles and essays from sources I typically read, and I try and look at it every day. Each time I use it I am glad I did.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for!

*2018-12-30*

All my favorite lefty news put on one app with a beautiful flawless interface.

### 5/5 — Jeffrj58

Great collection of high quality information 
Thanks

### 5/5 — Good stories

*2018-10-19, version 1.3*

Interesting left pov without abuse or fanaticism.

### 5/5 — Exceptionally good signal to noise ratio

*2018-10-16*

More communalist content, please! Left and right must unite to usher in a new era of common good. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Best news app for lefties.

*2018-08-29, version 1.3*

Good stuff here, ladies and gents.

### 5/5 — Good source for leftist news

*2018-05-05*

Really great aggregator for leftist news and articles. Whether you’re a leftist or not. Great way to discover new websites and publications, as well. Love it.

### 5/5 — Great App, Improvements Requested

*2018-04-17*

This is really excellent app. Two improvements suggested to developers: First, have stories open in the app rather than in the separate browser app. Second, allow specific sources to be filtered out or excluded.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2018-03-25, version 1.0*

Easy and problem free

### 5/5 — LeftTimes rules!

*2018-03-23*

I've been waiting for an app to collate leftist news into one place. Not only does LeftTimes do that, but it organizes it exactly how I'd hope, and gives intersecting issues valid categorization. May the revolution blossom.

### 5/5 — Worthwhile app to have

*2018-03-16*

Terrific sampling of Left articles on a regularly revolving basis. I very often don’t have time to visit a lot of sites for Left news and this app makes it very easy to sample the wide array out there. A go-to app

### 5/5 — great news app

*2018-03-03*

this is one of the best news aggregation apps I’ve used, I prefer checking an aggregated news app than getting my news from a social media feed for a number of reasons and this app has a really consistent collection of articles

### 5/5 — Must Download

*2018-02-23*

In today's crowded news environment - it can be hard to know where to turn to find insightful and informative news.  This aggregator gives you the news, sorted into relevant categories, from a host of notable outlets- without any of the b.s.

Needs more VICE News and UK stuff but overall excellent and great UI.  Well done.

### 5/5 — A must for a well-read progressive!

*2018-02-22*

This review is vital for anyone excited by liberal and progressive politics who is looking to broaden their horizons and stay on top of some of the most pressing news that you may not see elsewhere through other media sources. Stop digging for the truth and start living in these modern, left times.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2025-07-25*

When I try to open the app , it immediately closes. It’s not just me, the same thing happens to my husband. He deleted his, and I guess the same for me.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2019-03-28, version 1.5*

The app no longer loads any news. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it but no luck. It was great when it was working, but is now DOA.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-10-30, version 1.5*

Nothing works when you touch any link.

### 4/5 — Best of its kind

*2021-07-24*

I am grateful for this app and hope the developers continue to improve it. The app aggregates left leaning news stories from numerous sites which I would not have the time or patience to track down. I have found many of these stories are the illuminating. What I have not seen, so far, are the positive news stories of the good things human beings are doing on this planet to create a better world. So much of the news cycle for most news organizations is negative. Can we also celebrate the the positive work many of us are contributing to our communities and the world?

### 4/5 — Left news for an independent

*2020-07-03*

Both sides left and right very seldom talk about what and who really runs the world 🌎 
💰💰💰💰💰and the 💵💴💶💳people 🤑

### 4/5 — Good Aggregator

*2020-06-22*

This app is a good aggregator of news from the left. I like how you can choose the categories you’d like highlighted on the front page. My only complaint is that too large a proportion of articles come from The Intercept. I’d like more sources to be included.

### 5/5 — Best resources & news from a progressive view

*2023-11-06*

Dfinitely 5 Star; too many to claim, Read their About page, you’lllve it if you’re a critical thinker.

### 5/5 — great app

*2023-10-18*

I love this app! it’s introduced me to so many leftist news sources. There’s a lot of deep and thoughtful analysis of current events like the willow project, protests, wars, etc etc. I can’t open articles from within the app anymore, I have to search them up myself. Pls fix :(

### 5/5 — Best resources & news from a progressive view

### 5/5 — must have

*2022-03-27*

thank you devs for creating this wonderful app. it’s got all my favorite sources in one convenient place. this app is part of my morning ritual and find it hard to imagine life without it now

### 5/5 — Finally

*2020-08-21*

For someone disappointed by the options of left voices available in the standard News App, finding this app was a gift.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2020-07-27, version 1.7*

Genius idea to aggregate articles, essays and editorials across the left wing spectrum. Clean and easy to use, and a great UI.

### 5/5 — Great left wing news and opinion

*2020-07-24, version 1.7*

It’s hard to find any left wing publications these days, so it’s really helpful to have an app that gathers articles on many different topics (a lot that the mainstream media wouldn’t dare touch) from different sources. 
Only thing I would add is more articles from across the world- it’s very America centric right now.
Solidarity comrades!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-07-22*

Really promising app and already unique news source.

### 5/5 — Thoughtful alternative perspective

*2020-06-14*

Extended, informative perspective on current events. I went looking for this when the term anti fascist seemed to be demonized in outlets like CNN. Shouldn’t everyone be anti fascist after the horrors of World War II?

### 5/5 — Excellent Sources

*2020-04-27*

The information in this app is remarkably factual, which is rather refreshing compared to Mainstream News Media.
