  1. 5/5Great journalists, great app

    This app is an absolute game-changer for anyone who values independent journalism. I love how it brings together powerful on-the-ground reporting from around the world—especially from places like Ukraine, Gaza, Myanmar, and beyond. The coverage is raw, real, and provides a perspective you just can’t get from mainstream outlets. The U.S. politics coverage is also top-tier, offering sharp, insightful reporting that cuts through the noise. What makes this app even better is that it directly supports the journalists doing the hard work on the ground—something that feels more important than ever. I signed up for a founding subscription because I truly believe in the mission behind this platform. Wishing the app and its incredible team all the success they deserve. If you care about real journalism, this app is a must-download.

  2. 5/5Clean, intuitive user interface.

    The user interface is clean and intuitive. I like the simplicity. Content still limited as app just launched on Feb 24, 2025. Concept of having direct access to journalists who feed proprietary content onto platform is a brilliant idea.

  3. 5/5Great App!

    I love this concept, and I’m enjoying the way it’s been implemented. Hoping to see an iPad app offered at some point :)

  4. 4/5Very promising Work in Progress

    Refreshing take on modern journalism. Love being able to ask questions to the reporters but this feature doesn't seem fully baked yet. Love the eye-witness aspects and feeling like I'm almost there myself. I would like to see more articles posted per day and better ways to navigate articles.
