I don’t want to get all my news from a single source. But you can no longer trust big tech companies to curate news feeds. (Google being possibly the worst offender.) Their feeds only feature sources with an extreme left-wing woke bias. It’s all activism pretending to be journalism, complete with over-the-top name calling and editorializing on stories that should be just reporting facts. They only include sources that are in lock step with government censors who try to suppress any journalism that questions those in power. Or it’s all click-bait “outrage porn” that panders to your preferences. It took me forever to find a news app that tries to maintain some balance. I love that they prominently display the leanings of the news source, or feature multiple sources for each topic so you can get the bigger picture.My only critique is that the news feed is too short and prompts you to go to their website for more stories. I should be able to browse most if not all the content from the app itself.

I’m done doom scrolling! This app is great bc it offers an assessment of the bias inherent in the source and it points out the language used to push their bias. If gives choices to read from other prospectives and makes it easier to read center based reporting. It is extremely useful for people to have more awareness around issues and more inoculation to the bias inherent on both sides of the political spectrum. The tools to discover your own bias where extremely helpful to me. Glad I can be more honest with myself about who I actually am and not who I think of myself as.

I have been over the all sides app for a while now but only recently found a better substitute. The app continually glitches out by highlighting certain text in white and blending other text in with the dark background, making it totally unreadable. The app will often go for days without updating, forcing me to rely on biased internet searches for news. I like the presentation of multiple biases, but the write-ups are inconsistent and oftentimes exclude one side or the other. The write-ups have started to become more biased in that they have begun to use some of the keywords they like to call out in sensationalized articles. Also, their AI write-ups are often full of typos, a sign of another company diving into AI “because it’s cool” rather than having a plan or the knowledge of how to use it.Really wish they could have moved forward and improved because I liked the app for years, but at this point Ground News has proven to be the better option.

First off, I love this app and company. AllSides creates a headache free way to sift through the fog and determine what is actually going on in the world. It’s my favorite app on my phone, and I can’t wait to see where AllSides goes in the future. Feedback: I’ve noticed that the social channels and this app are not in sync. Sometimes I want to post something on my Instagram from the app, and I go to the AllSides Instagram and I find it hasn’t been updated to reflect the app. It would be nice if everything could be uniform across the board with news and updates.
