  1. 5/5Can’t recommend enough!!!

    I have been LOVING the Monitor app! I am not really a news reader, so I didn't think that the Monitor App would impact me that much. But now with the app, I find myself reading the Monitor multiple times a day! Truly - morning, noon and night. Something about the user experience on the app makes it so approachable and easy to read. The app has a very calming feeling that isn't overwhelming. It presents just the right amount of information and stories that you feel like you can actually keep up with it. Plus, I love how you can follow topics or you favorite journalists. Highly recommend!!

  2. 5/5Great news app!

    This app is a great news source. It’s easy to navigate, and has up-to-date news coverage that includes US and international news. The reporting strives to be unbiased, offering a variety of perspectives on news topics. The only issue I have is that there’s no “back” button; to exit an article, you have to press “home,” which takes you back to the list of articles, at the article you exited from — so at least you’re where you left the list, but it’s a bit counterintuitive.

  3. 5/5Truly unbiased facts

    I’ve been reading the Monitor for most of my adult life. It’s the most balanced and informative news source around and I’m delighted to now have a handy app on my phone for listening or reading wherever I am. Powerful stories that don’t pull any punches, but without the sensationalism that so many media are promoting. The Monitor reporters always leave me with a sense of hope that truth will be the victor!

  4. 5/5Loaded with features - highly recommended

    The kinds of reader functionality that I've been wanting to see for a while like for example, searching by region, following a particular writer, book marking an article for later recall it's all there and plus more... highly recommend recommended

  5. 5/5Refreshing!

    Clean format, clean content. This is a big upgrade from getting news from social media platforms, no overwhelm of doom. Easy access to podcasts and more. A great way to get the latest news.
