it's a very helpful app. it tells you what news comes from where, its accuracy etc, and you can see more about YOUR personal news reading habits and how accurate the stories that you're attracted to read are. I love it! there are a few apps kind of like this, they kind of do what Ground does, but it's not the same! ground is the best I've found so far. I highly recommend giving it a shot. they offer a free trial so you can see if you like it or not.

Ready to upgrade to 5 stars when UI improves a bit, mainly in the Discover tab! It's not as interactive as it could be, re: finding or hiding topics. It shows the same topics even after I refresh and follow new ones. (Not to mention, a weird bug that won't let me scroll down to the bottom of the Discover tab) It's also somewhat confusing the way it labels sources. For example, "Blindspot for the L/R" and "R/L/Center" are both in the top left corner of stories, depending on what tab you're on?

Absolutely biased. It's an interesting app for sure, and definitely makes it easier to find different sources for articles and news. The issue is that I'm more of a center-kinda-guy and I've noticed that the app is extremely biased in a left leaning way. 99% of left articles say "high factuality" and 99% of right articles say "mixed factuality" without any explanation as to why. I find myself clicking through each and find no difference except their affiliation.
