5/5Much needed
I love the complaint feature. We need mechanisms to hold media accountable. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Ali Rehmatullah · 6 Aug 2026
2/5Subscription based only
I got the app before they decided to have it be subscription based only. I enjoyed it a lot, I actually got to see stories that weren’t biased, and the whole app is very clean. There’s bugs when it comes to the notification system, but with a new app, that’s to be expected. However, I am giving a two star review because now I cannot access the app anymore. I loved having the app because it could send me notifications about news stories. Now I cannot access my account or do anything unless I wanna pay. Everything is a subscription these days and it’s such bs.

5/5Finally!!
The app that we all desperately needed as we strive to better navigate the complex world of blurred lines between news, propaganda, and western hegemony.
