Ratings and Reviews
THE BEST WAY TO GET NEWS QUICKLY.
I know there are news articles and such but sometimes you can easily read something and it doesn't make any sense. Shades breaks down the article and explains what is going on in the world efficiently. Before their rebrand, I was a huge fan of this app and then when they rebranded, I couldn't get into the app. I contact their support through instagram and they replied back quickly and said they will be working on it. Today, they messaged me and told me they made a new update and it should fix the issue, and it did! I am now able to get into the app, as it is one of my favorite apps to use. The people behind this app are great people and you can tell they appreciate the users of this app with the way that they remembered me. 10/10 I recommend this app. ❤️
cant believe more people don’t have it
i think this app will get really popular very quickly. it’s pretty easy to use, it has seemingly endless stories to scroll through. and it gives sources and good information. news sites are so confusing now and most of them overload you with information. this app sorts through it so u can read anything from story about California gun bills to will smith and the oscar’s to weird laws that are still in place. it has stories for everyone. everything is sourced as well (which i would expect from any news site). it’s fun to scroll through. my only complaint is when going from the home page > clicking on a story > clicking on a subtopic in a story > scrolling down through the story, scrolling down through the story gets a little glitchy. sometimes i’ll scroll down through it and it will go back to the top when i haven’t even pressed anything. this is quite frustrating when i’m trying to read a story. it should only move back up if i physically use my finger to swipe up.
otherwise it’s a great app and a great concept, just has a few glitches.

News that doesn't feel like work!
Unlike other news apps which often feel like I am taking my vitamins or eating vegetables, shades really makes it fun. What sets this app apart from the others is its simple and easy-to-use interface, which makes navigating through the app a breeze. It’s super familiar to social apps and doesn’t feel like work to go through.
The content is kind of like axios for everything, where it gives you just what you need to know and nothing more nothing less. Super convenient, and fits well within my day of when I have a few minutes to kill and just want to learn something.
Definitely worth trying out!
