Best way to receive news

I listen every Monday Wednesday and Friday and feel very informed without being overwhelmed. It’s an encouraging way to stay up to date on worldly news without only seeing one side or forgetting that there is hope!

Focused & Informative

This is a great news app. It has a specific design & focus opinion, and is quite open and honest about it. That matters. It has been a great help in breaking the cycle of news overload. Highly Recommended!

Informed and hopeful

The clear and direct news delivery without manipulative language is such a wonderful reprieve. Praying after each news headline is an immediate reminder that this is all in God’s hands. It helps me to stay in my lane and not get lost thinking about how everything could affect my family. Thank you, Pour Over.

Forced to make an account to discover it’s paid only

Edit: There IS a free version, but it was not easy to get to. The gamification of news reading also seems to be opposed to the stated goal of helping us spend less time on news. I’ll stick to the emails and podcast as they seem to distract me a lot less than trying to earn acorns, play games, and decorate a cartoon squirrel.

Original review: I assumed this would be free like the 3x-weekly TPO emails are, so I downloaded it. Those emails are very helpful, and I was expecting the same content at the same price in a pretty format. Instead, they make you input an email address, name, and fill out a whole quiz just to learn it’s a paid app. Who does that? I checked the description to see if I’d missed it, but there’s no price listed. Apple does mention all the personal data they collect. For me, this is a miss, by miles.

Incredible app!

I recommend to everyone looking for unbiased news with a biblical perspective!

App Review

I love having this moved over to the App. It’s so nice to spend 10-15 mins reading and learning and having a biblical lens applied.

Well done

Very well though out, clear, unbiased, and fun games.

Not sensational and that’s a good thing

Just calm facts with the long term eternal perspective in mind

Easy to Use

This is the best news app. I can get my news, and then I can practice a Bible verse. I love the recite feature they’ve created for the Bible verse; amazing. It’s like something from Duolingo but for Bible. Such a fantastic thoughtful way to teach scripture and apply it. The news is clear, concise and easy to digest. Love the prayer feature too.
I tried the little games, I didn’t love them. Word search yes, I’ll take that any day but the others were strange and honestly a little pointless.

Overall, I would recommend the POUROVER App to anyone looking for a news app that will help them get their news life under control and bring Christ into the center of it all. Fantastic.

Wisdom

I am thankful for The Pour Over. I walk away with wisdom but also with peace after reading. God is in control and I am able to pray that his will be done. I am able to pray that righteousness prevail and have confidence in my heart that God will see us through when we stay focused on him.

Fresh and God focused

Although, this world is chaotic and feel uncontrollable. We know with coming back to the Lord and the word keeps us aligned with our Creator in the middle of the darkness that plagues this world . I enjoy getting up to date with current events with pour over !

Godly Way to experience the news

The Pour Over helps me to put the news in perspective. It reminds me that Jesus should be first and that God is in control of the world.

Sign up pain

I didn't realize I'd have to choose numerous answers about myself that didn't fit, then commit to a payment plan. I just want to listen to the Pour Over.

Amazing

Sooo good

Informed not Overwhelmed

Really appreciate how this app surfaces the top stories, keeps a neutral view and includes biblical perspective to keep me grounded when news and the world seem to spiral out of control!

The REAL good news

The Pour Over is like that wonderful smell of coffee on a new morning! It sparks the joy of a new day in a world of anxiety, bad news and sin. It truly puts the news into context. Soooo much better than other social mafia or news sources because it makes the connection to the news and God’s word and reassurance that He is in control.

Disappointed

Not interested in the annual/monthly fee with ads model. When I pay I expect there to be no ads.

Required reading!

It’s great to read news that is followed by prayers that often articulate what’s in my heart. Great job on the app. Keep the news coming, keep the prayers going. You have one of the best teams in the business!

Truth plus joy

I really enjoy the information with scripture and no doom and gloom.
