Ratings and Reviews
Great news app with refreshingly streamlined approach
This is a really interesting app. It’s whole premise is to both reduce noise from news articles so they can be consumed in 9 seconds (per article) but also intelligently adjusts to only product the facts in order to reduce bias. Quite a feat which it does well.
It’s something the media industry should be doing anyway but until then, I’m glad this app exists. It’s well designed, doesn’t ask lots of personal questions and gets the job done.
It’s a fairly new app so the number of feed categories are a little limited at the moment but the main ones are there and they will no doubt expand quickly as more users get onboard.
I’d recommend giving this app a try and see what you think.
Possible Improvement
Love the app so far. Some feedback and potential improvement: If you exit the app and open it again, I start reading the article/bits that was on the screen, however after 5-6 seconds it automatically refreshes and removes the old article that I started reading. Instead of it refreshing the current article being viewed, it would be better if it refreshes with latest news from the next swipe down (kind of like clearing the current queue and adding a new updated queue)
It’s a bit annoying if I found a headline really interesting, and just as I start reading it disappears and I can’t finish it.
Everyone needs this app!
Great curation, very relevant to the younger generation
Perfectly crafted summaries
Beautiful and easy to use UI
No unnecessary fluff saves me a lot of time
LOVE THE APP!
