At many news outlets, it seems like their reporter bias is stronger than actual facts. The Pour Over isn’t like that. They don’t write news stories. They just tell you the news – not from a Christian perspective or any other perspective – they just say what is happening. The Christian worldview aspect is their response to the news that is presented separately. And they constantly remind you that Jesus didn’t say, “they will know you by your politics.” They encourage hope, peace, and love in Christ from an eternal perspective. Thank you, TPO. I hope other outlets take note and emulate this style of news delivery. ### 5/5 — Love the news now *2026-05-14, version 5.0.3* It’s great getting unbiased news from the pour over!! Perfect for me, Christ centered and I can stay informed without the stress. ### 5/5 — Changing my perspective! *2026-05-12* As long-time reader of the TPO email newsletter, I jumped at the opportunity to check my email less often. The app has a much more prayerful, calm experience and I leave feeling informed and less anxious in 5 minutes! ### 5/5 — A solid news option *2026-05-09* I got exhausted from reading skewed news articles with skepticism and criticism. When I downloaded The Pour Over, I was relieved to read simple and clean news with a Christian perspective. I can stay updated without being overwhelmed with information and anxiety. ### 5/5 — Love The Pour Over *2026-05-09, version 5.0.0* Great source for most important news. The non biased Christian based tie ins are what I love. ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-05-01* I like this app. It’s easy to navigate and it doesn’t overwhelm you with news. Now there isn’t a search option or a ton of article so if you live for the news this might not be for you. But for someone that wants to know what’s happening but in a non biased way, this is a must. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2026-04-04* Quick direct Information. With all you need and none of the extra stuff to enrage you at another party or group. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-02, version 3.1.0* The Pour Over is a great news source! Gives you an unbiased opinion on the most important news and implements scripture alongside it to keep us grounded. ### 5/5 — Blessing *2026-03-14* I never had much interest in watching news with all the conflict going on. Now this gives a way to have accurate sources with headlines that aren’t meant to infuriate you. ### 5/5 — No drama. Just the news. *2026-02-21* It is glaringly obvious today that the news outlets have changed their priority to emotional manipulation for political advantage and delivering the actual story has taken a side seat if considered at all. TPO gives the stories that matter with a dose of Biblical wisdom to wash it down. No drama, no manipulation. Just the news. ### 5/5 — Worth checking out *2026-01-16, version 1.0.13* Mixes relevant Scripture with daily events. Good effects! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-01-16, version 1.0.13* I needed an unbiased news site and that's exactly what I got. I am so glad this app was made! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-11-27, version 1.0.4* This is the best news app of all time! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Not the same after update *2026-09-02* I used to love the Pour over news and how simplistic it was. You would only get news Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and then not worry about the app for the other days. Earning acorns (points) were reasonably proportional to the rewards you could get. Now, the app wants you to log in everyday to start a streak for more points even on days when they don’t have any news for you. I am confused because the whole point of the Pour Over News is to not be faced with news 24/7 yet they want you to log in everyday and face a news headline. The acorns you have to earn for prizes increased exponentially which also came with more ways to earn acorns but is not as proportional and makes it significantly more difficult to redeem a prize. You can earn acorns by winning the top 3 places in games but the games are very difficult to me and don’t make sense. I’m just not really as invested anymore as when it started. Still a good cause of what they are trying to do as a news outlet but I just don’t think it’s effective. ### 2/5 — Not the Best *2026-02-21* I had a lot of hope for this app. I wanted to find a Christian based, unbiased news source and when I saw this I thought I hit the jackpot. At this time, the amount of news stories is very limited and if I’m being honest, mostly uninteresting. There’s no search bar either. I do like the bits of Christian articles but at this time it does not serve as a good news source and will be uninstalling :( ### 4/5 — Short and sweet *2026-05-30, version 5.2.0* I appreciate getting a shorter report with the option of reading more, plus a Bible passage with a centering prayer. God bless you for your efforts and inspiration. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-05-26* Truly a great app and company! So glad to have access to news but also encouragement through that. My only qualm with the app is the rewards system. It’s nice to offer free items and swag but feel like there isn’t a very good way of obtaining points. I know the main source is the referrals, but feel like should be able to obtain a point each day there is a newsletter and between 5-10 points weekly. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-04-04* Awesome news and awesome descriptions. Really is just stating the facts! I do agree that they should try to continue to cover more stories and maybe add a search bar so you can find coverage on specific topics!! Otherwise, it’s going great so far! ### 5/5 — Changing the Game *2026-07-18* The Pour Over isn’t about telling you who is right and wrong in the news. It takes a “just the facts” perspective and then points you back to Jesus. It helps me keep the right perspective and stay informed without doomscrolling. ### 5/5 — Biblical perspective *2026-07-11, version 5.4.2* News and information based on Biblical views. Fantastic! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-09* I’m really enjoying reading the news which is a first for me! I appreciate the Bible verses and sense of levity and peace about the news. Thank you! Would highly recommend! ### 5/5 — There is no such thing as a liberal Christian *2026-07-05* I appreciate this news channel yet the advertising for “not liberal not conservative” is strange. Jesus knew nothing of acceptance of abortion and the sexual revolution, neither would he have accepted any of it. You cannot be a follower of Christ while openly affirming liberal politics in modern day America. Bad advertising on the company’s part. ### 5/5 — A magnificent balancing act *2026-07-03* This app is great because it helps me stay current on big events, while preventing me from feeling bogged down by things happening around the globe. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peace *2026-07-01, version 5.3.1* I live that i know this is written with a biblical lens and all that i need to know is in these words. I just want the facts and a biblical perspective and this is where i get it. ### 5/5 — Pray. Read. Pray! *2026-06-12* This simple app has been a great boon to my engaging the news through the lenses of the Bible. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to bring devotion and information together in a simple package. ### 5/5 — The only News I’ll read *2026-05-25* The Pour Over trims down the endless information of news into bite-sized stories without trying to sell me on a political agenda. I love it! ### 5/5 — News with a Christian Prospective *2026-05-25, version 5.0.3* I really enjoy the short informative articles with all the hype and the related Bible passages help keep it in a Kingdomly perspective. ### 5/5 — Great App! Keeps me in the loop but isn’t overwhelming *2026-05-19* I used to be completely out of touch with world news and didn’t know where to start. The Pour Over has helped me understand what is happening around the world without being constantly overwhelmed with more articles than I can handle. This app helps keep news in its rightful place. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
