### 5/5 — Love Politic

*2020-01-21*

Really enjoy this app. It’s really nice choosing how biased I want an article to be and it’s super convenient!

### 3/5 — Great idea but......

*2020-01-16*

It’s almost as if when choosing articles from left leaning outlets (cnn, etc..) they purposely seek out the one in a million articles that the “journalist” doesn’t add in their own opinions, they don’t even put in articles where the author hides his opinion by saying “well some people say - inserts own opinion- blah blah blah” 

I wonder how much money they have to pay for the man hours it takes to search through “newsstories” from fake news outlets on the left to find non opinionated articles.

There are fake news “opinionated stories” on the right but they aren’t mysteriously excluded from this apps feed like the same type of stories from the left.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2019-12-31*

A perfect app to read news articles while rating the biases of them. Politic has changed my life. If you are lonely or depressed, give Politic a try.

### 5/5 — Politics mainlined into my bloodstream

*2019-12-27*

I am almost angry at this app for stealing all my time. Now I get to rate and debate politics in the very comments of news articles about politics!

### 5/5 — Excellent app by Gavin Wolfe!

*2019-11-26*

I am a huge fan and can see this app becoming big in the App Store!

### 5/5 — My only source for news.

*2019-11-10*

This app is great. I love how quickly I can sort through different articles ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS. If you go to CNN or the grey lady to get your news, all you see is basically a big TRUMP BAD. Ok, lets head to fox or brietbart: TRUMP GOOD. On this app I see a mix of good and bad things Trump does as well as actual news stories from smaller publishers all in one feed.

### 1/5 — Totally one sided

*2019-11-06*

I was just exploring the app and it’s functions. The app only had one sided news and informed me that it didn’t have anything on the other side yet.

**Developer response:** Apologies for this problem. But this is not directly an app problem, it is simply the newness of an app. Because the app is only a couple weeks old, there are a limited amount of users. In your review you said the news is one sided. We have both publishers of both sides, which you can find in your search area.
 The reason you are seeing one-sided articles in your home feed is because not enough articles have been rated with the bias you are looking for. So yes, sometimes while this app is new, if you are looking for a certain side/bias of articles, because no one has rated the news of that day with that bias, they will not show up. We do not judge the bias of news articles, the users do. We just average it for each article.

### 5/5 — Great Bias Tool!

*2019-10-26*

I love the bias tool within the app! This is a such a great way to voice my opinion! I really enjoy using the bias search bar in order to find the articles based on their overall rated bias, this is such a great concept that I have never seen. Definitely going to use this app for looking at news articles!
