  1. 3/5I don’t know why the app exists.

    I don’t have a paid membership but I do have a membership on the website. I don’t know how to sign in. What’s the point of the app if it locks you out and takes you to the website that also locks you out. Either have me sign in or play ads.

  2. 1/5Reliability Rating Isn’t Based on Fact Checks

    If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that factors in how often a source passes or fails a Fact Checker then you need to look somewhere else. Ad Fontes Reliability rating has nothing to do with how factual the source is. CNN for instance is listed as a highly reliable source even though they have failed a lot of fact checks. WSJ is another source rated high that has failed a good amount of fact checks. Common Dreams which hasnt failed any fact checks is rated on the same level as Fox News which has failed a ton of fact checks. Matter of fact if you click to open Common Dreams sample scores, the articles they provide don’t lead you to a fact checker like Politifact, it leads you to the article itself. If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that uses number of passes or failed fact checkers to determine how factual a source is, go with Media Bias Fact Check. They show you exactly which articles that the source failed a fact checker.

  3. 2/5Locked up my iPhone

    I’m a long-time follower and fan of this service via my laptop. I have shared the Bias Chart and link in dozens of posts and DMs, especially on LinkedIn. But this app needs work. First time I used it it worked great but immediately got stuck in landscape mode without any menus. It took over the phone and I could not swipe up and exit the app. I had to do something rare on any Apple OS. I had to power of and restart my phone. I have not attempted to relaunch it since. So have only used it once. I’ve beta tested software and realize updates are always necessary. Hoping the issue is resolved and I’ll gladly update this review. (I’m running iOS 18.6.2 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max)

  4. 2/5Per usual lies spread freely while truth is behind a paywall

    This is actually a great resource to compare news sites and share info with others but unfortunately they decided to limit the searches and direct you to their website. The chart on the website straight up doesn’t work on mobile. The app is so much better. They say they have a membership but you can’t even login on the app. So they purposely gimped their app and then broke their website and then still ask for money? I’m sorry as good as the information is it’s not worth it.

  5. 5/5Where does the news I read/watch project from?

    I appreciate these ratings, especially during recent times, to help me understand where the news I read/watch comes from so I can be sure to find the best balance that will offer me more facts and less opinion. Thank you! Well done on the app so the most recent ratings can be seen! - clsm
