America Needs This
I find it so frustrating when friends and family are so deep in their echo chambers, they no longer can agree on a shared reality. Ground News helps change that, showing you how every story is being covered by every outlet, right, left, center. They even show you which stories are being ignored by news companies on one side of the aisle. It’s a simple idea that is executed wonderfully.

Ground News is ground breaking.
I try to be eclectic in my current events. I try. But there are too many sources and too many names to keep track of. Ground News has not only introduced me to a myriad of new outlets, but lets me know their particular outlook. I’m from the 3 TV stations era, so Ground News is a total game changer. THANK YOU!!!

Helpful Developer Response
This is an updated and revised review which I feel is appropriate following a very informative genuine response from the developer. My original review complained of annoying ads in linked third party articles rendering many of them unreadable or sometimes being directed to articles that were behind a paywall. I noted in that review that these ad problems are in no way unique to Ground News and that Ground News app itself is an ad-free experience but that I felt it hampered the reader experience. The developer replied with a genuine and sympathetic response but clarified some additional things including the fact that they do not in any way profit from popups. I learned from the developer that there are ways of filtering and adjusting your feed so that paywall articles can be screened. Also, the developer indicates that an external browser function is available to better deal with pop ups and such like. I’ll be trying out these features and settings but overall I am very satisfied with what Ground News does, how it helps when it comes to news biases and the sheer breadth of content. It is clearly highly customizable - perhaps in a way that I didn’t fully understand at first. And of course, any developer who takes the time to reach out personally to address a concern is serious about doing the right thing and their product.
