Description

For anyone fighting against the rise of misinformation, sensationalism, and biased news, the Ground News Mac app will help you easily compare how a story is being covered by thousands of sources from across the political spectrum and from around the world.

If you are like the many people who feel overwhelmed and under-informed as they piece together patchwork information from social media and conflicting news sources, Ground News will empower you with an array of visualization and comparison tools that makes it simple to analyze, understand, and draw your own conclusions about a developing news story. Unlike traditional news aggregators, which utilize crowd-sourcing and algorithms that reward clickbait and reinforce pre-existing bias, Ground News helps users understand the news objectively based on media bias, geographic location, and time.

Ground News is the world’s first news comparison platform that will help voters make better-informed decisions, drawing from more than 40,000 news sources worldwide and featuring an average of 30,000 news stories per day.

Also, included in the Mac app is our new Safari extension. Try out Ground News Bias Checker for Safari. Whenever you read a news article, our browser extension will show you who else is covering the same news story and compare how other sources from all across the political spectrum are reporting on it.

A must-have if you want to form opinions

I cannot stress how necessary this app is if you truly want to have an informed opinion in today’s world. No other app I’ve used has the UI and support this one does.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review! Great to hear that we are keeping you fully informed.

I like the concept, but the app design and UI is really poor

The app has multiple issues in terms of UI and bugs not being fixed:
1. I can't seem to follow topics
2. It takes ages without any visual/haptic feedback that I've clicked on a search term, yet it doesn't load for ages
3. The default UI is designed for readers of US news and politics, however, given that it's a news reader, it would be nice to customise topics I follow by region

UI needs to be fixed

This is a great app. This has replaced Google news for me. But as other users point out the UI is buggy. For example sometimes, stories load multiple times, on double-clicking, but that seemed intuitive since single click only selects the story.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thanks for sharing your review. We will continue to work on the UI for the Mac App and hope to bring it closer to meeting your expectations. Please don't hesitate to reach out again if any more feedback arises.
