Easily the best news platform ever created

Between the UI, endless feed customization options, succinct overviews and political leaning scale, this app is exactly what I said in the title.

I highly recommend spending the time and really fine tuning your content preferences. I took about 20 minutes deep diving into the hundreds, if not thousands, of options. Now, my feed gives me the latest on everything I wanna know about.

To the developers, one thing I’d like to see that would really take this app to the next level is the author/outlet following feature. To follow them, I have to search specifically for them, click follow and then I don’t know where it goes from there. I’d like to see a “Following” page of sorts that only includes news from the people/outlets I follow. Maybe this page could serve a dual purpose between following and explore (where I could see recommendations of authors/outlets to follow based on those I already do). I think the page could live on the bottom navigation. Once there, I’d like to swipe side to side between following and explore. Just a thought. App is incredible otherwise.

Simple and easy to use!

I read about this app online and came to give it a try. After about a day of using it with my iPhone and my iPad it will definitely be living on my Home Screen now. The design is clean and it’s simple and easy to use. Tuning the app to find the categories you want to read was easy and didn’t take as long as it can in other apps. The way it condenses the stories is nice for catching up faster but my favorite feature is quotes. I like being able to see parts of the article directly as references for the summaries I’m reading. Can’t wait to see what other features come to this app.

Best News App Ever tried

I have tried multiple news app and have found some useful (mainly tested Ai news apps) and even some that later got shot down and felt like those were the best. But this one is officially the best one I have ever tried and probably will be the last. It has Ai summaries with multiple options, a useful topic interest selector, very high quality design, voice mode for the news that is continuous, tells you all the articles about a news story, each political party view in that story, lets you write questions about that story for others to read… I can keep going…
