User reviews

Whitewashed

In their fake news section they focused on Russian news and nothing else.

The problem is homegrown and avoiding the real culprits make it obvious that you’re not going to get the truth here, just the safest middle ground.

Healthcare internationally

My first SIFT article!
This style really appeals to me! No BS or ads flooding in between every sentence or paragraph.
Give it a try, not for everyone, but I really like it! Reminds me of early NPR in the 70’s.
Thank you SIFT!!

Interesting x2

I like the concept but hiding content/information behind a paywall can be problematic when the idea behind this is to curb emotional distress in today’s news climate. The design is also not very friendly in that it seems less like a news app and more like a luminosity type app. Solid idea.

I love this app

Sift is a great way to learn about the central social and political issues of our time. It’s extremely accessible to read, and we get the whole picture: history, sources (proof), fun ways to interact and learn. Also, these issues are always evolving and growing as we grow as a culture, so I really appreciate when they let us know what parts of the issue don’t have a clear answer yet. Thank you, I’m a proud subscriber now, and look forward to reading new topics as they are released.

Sift for a news outlet? I want the whole story

This sifts out the facts that support their argument and removes the counters leaving a very biased story. Sad. The layout is nice it’s just sad they aren’t looking for the truth.
