The Pour Over

I am absolutely tired of the polarization of politics in the United States. At many news outlets, it seems like their reporter bias is stronger than actual facts. The Pour Over isn’t like that. They don’t write news stories. They just tell you the news – not from a Christian perspective or any other perspective – they just say what is happening. The Christian worldview aspect is their response to the news that is presented separately. And they constantly remind you that Jesus didn’t say, “they will know you by your politics.” They encourage hope, peace, and love in Christ from an eternal perspective. Thank you, TPO. I hope other outlets take note and emulate this style of news delivery.

I used to love the Pour over news and how simplistic it was. You would only get news Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and then not worry about the app for the other days. Earning acorns (points) were reasonably proportional to the rewards you could get. Now, the app wants you to log in everyday to start a streak for more points even on days when they don’t have any news for you. I am confused because the whole point of the Pour Over News is to not be faced with news 24/7 yet they want you to log in everyday and face a news headline. The acorns you have to earn for prizes increased exponentially which also came with more ways to earn acorns but is not as proportional and makes it significantly more difficult to redeem a prize. You can earn acorns by winning the top 3 places in games but the games are very difficult to me and don’t make sense. I’m just not really as invested anymore as when it started. Still a good cause of what they are trying to do as a news outlet but I just don’t think it’s effective.

I used to be completely out of touch with world news and didn’t know where to start. The Pour Over has helped me understand what is happening around the world without being constantly overwhelmed with more articles than I can handle. This app helps keep news in its rightful place.
