Understand your paywall premium content. That’s your prerogative. But including stories in your updates that are behind the other sites paywall always disappoints ### 5/5 — Real Clear Politics *2024-10-20* RCP has the best and broadest collection of news and opinion articles and election polls! I rely on RCP every day for my comprehensive daily news! ### 5/5 — Real Clear Politics worth a look *2024-10-19* The app is well designed, offering easy access to polls, maps, news and editorials, and more. The articles are evenly distributed between conservative and liberal perspectives. This is what a good app should look like. ### 4/5 — Good compilation *2024-10-05, version 2.0.8* I enjoy the compilation. I would give more stars but I hit a lot of paywalls when I click on articles on RCP’s app. RCP seems a little leaning conservative, and I would like a compilation where I can read more of both sides of issues. Still, RCP is a helpful resource. ### 5/5 — Balanced, Trustworthy News Coverage *2024-09-17, version 2.0.7* It can be hard to find trustworthy balanced news sources in today’s media environment. RealClearPolitics lives up to its name and delivers. I appreciate that both sides of controversial or breaking news and events are represented. Excellent coverage, delivered by a competent team of professionals. Thank you! ### 5/5 — RCP is the BEST *2024-08-21, version 2.0.7* The best website/app for news. Nothing else even close. ### 5/5 — Best Political Site *2024-08-13, version 2.0.7* Real clear is the absolute best source for all things related to US Politics. Effectively represents most viewpoints and gives them voice ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy Crash App *2026-09-01, version 2.2.2* This application crashes constantly. Often when you open an article, it pumps ads to you and when you close the ad it just opens again in a never ending loop. Many links are to articles behind paywalls, so you waste a lot of time clicking and not reading the article. ### 1/5 — Holy bias *2026-07-09, version 2.2.2* I was looking for a helpful app for politics and stumbled across this. First thing I do when I open the app is look under “polls” I click to see how my states midterm election is doing and the app freezes, I try again and it freezes. I move on and click under the “trending/hot” tab, and I am bombarded with straight propaganda. I am not a Democrat, nor a republican, so seeing headlines aired like “Trump became a legend this weekend” and “Dsa is ruining America from the core” just made me laugh. Do not get this app if you want real and honest news. ### 1/5 — Views *2025-04-04, version 2.0.8* I like it because it doesn’t just offer one view they’re not just sold out to Trump. You know Trump is not the normal. I’ll be all I support. Makes mistakes I enjoy watching Fox News and looking at different websites but I need to know different point of view and that’s what makes this website so great ### 1/5 — Not real and not clear. *2024-11-08, version 2.0.8* Actually thought this was an unbiased news app. Heads up for anyone looking for the same thing, this app is NOT unbiased. ### 1/5 — Website is great. App is unusable. *2024-11-04, version 2.0.8* I can’t read one story without ads and videos popping up and not letting me continue. Their “This day in history” video is ridiculous. It takes over your phone. I’ll just stick with the website and delete the app. ### 1/5 — This is unusable *2024-09-18, version 2.0.7* Not even 10 seconds into my first story and an ad takes over my screen. If you want people to not use your app this is a good way to do it. ### 1/5 — Garbage Browser Message from RCP *2024-09-01, version 2.0.7* I downloaded your app on my iPad (an Apple product) via Apple’s App store. Very soon after I opened the app for the first time, I removed a message that browser is not supported. The browser I use is Safari, Apple’s browser. This browser message is garbage. If Safari is not going to be supported, then RCP should not be in Apple’s app store. 👎👎 This is very curious because a pop-up from X.com says Safari is supported.if X.com is not you, then that raises the issue of whether this app is infected. ### 1/5 — Mobile UX *2024-07-23, version 2.0.7* Needs improvement. Simple - table stakes things like click targets and responsiveness. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-07-22, version 2.0.7* I wanted to try it out. But the constant pop ups made it frustrating. I could read for one minute without something else getting in my way. Sorry guys, I will not be subscribing. ### 1/5 — Pop-ups are crazy! *2024-07-21, version 2.0.7* Used this app for about 2 minutes before getting sick of the pop-ups. Every time you change to a different page, you get a pop-up trying to get you to purchase something. Very, very annoying and would otherwise be a good app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelent Politics App *2025-05-19, version 2.0.8* Is an excelent app to see the most recent news about politics in the world. ### 5/5 — Both sides *2025-05-04, version 2.0.8* Where else can you get both sides of every debate every day? ### 5/5 — Best News App *2025-03-14, version 2.0.8* Balanced views, superb polling, updated daily with news and opinion across the spectrum. Books and Culture column is excellent as well. ### 5/5 — Relevant! *2025-02-20, version 2.0.8* I love Steve Bannon! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-02-19, version 2.0.8* A++++++ ### 5/5 — The Best Source for Balanced News *2025-02-12, version 2.0.8* There is no better source for balanced news. Whatever your politics may be, go to RCP to read about the issues from both sides. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-01-24, version 2.0.8* RCP is a terrific app. I look at it multiple times a day for news and opinion ### 5/5 — Politics *2025-01-23, version 2.0.8* Fantastic Polling ### 5/5 — Charles Bunnell *2025-01-20, version 2.0.8* Outstanding site for fair coverage. I depend on it every day thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent source for news *2025-01-18, version 2.0.8* RCP is a nonpartisan aggregator of (mostly) political news, analysis, and commentary. You will find all sides represented on the platform, with many of the nation’s most talented reporters and opinion makers writing in its pages. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
