Definitely an app that keeps you grounded in both: far left like CNN and far right like Fox News within a middle ground (no pun intended), it's like any other news resource that provides information to others in day-to-day life. It's news worth checking out! Definitely worth the read in my daily mundane life where I can check up on what's happening and more. The only things I wouldn't do is pay $40.00 a year just to read all the news nor do the free trial but minus that, I recommend this app.

Nearly 2 months before the renewal date I stopped getting notifications on the app and the app links stopped working, the app was up to date so I couldn't cancel the account from inside and the same day it renews everything from the notifications to the buttons to email updates work after an hour of payment. I paid for 2 years when the service wasn't fully active for one.

it has so much potential, but just like other news aggregators they just kill it by their efforts to lock everything down. I'm constantly running into pages that won't load properly in the app, but there's no option to open a page in an external browser (so I can actually watch a video or read a full article)... and they won't let you share links that work for people that don't have ground news subscriptions. If that's not added soon I'm canceling my subscription

Downgraded. Widget not working! Other than that, it is a solid news app. No nonsense Hollywood news clogging up the alerts. Very well laid out, customizable and has articles from multiple outlets for different perspectives. Keep up the great work. No need for another app. There is also a desktop web version that syncs with your account. Fantastic! 😊

UPDATING: I'm updating to 5 stars. Customer service was pretty quick to respond after I sent them an email, and my issue was resolved in probably less than an hour. Thank you Ground News staff for being so quick and helpful. It WAS 5 stars, but now the app just won't work. I can't sign in at all. I've followed the steps that the help articles provide. Uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I may have to cancel my subscription. Bummer this was one of my go to's for news 😕
