About this app

Ground News is the largest news aggregator in the world with over 50K news sources and 60K articles added daily. But we aren’t a typical news aggregator, throwing hundreds of headlines at you that barely skim the surface. Ground frees people from algorithmic restraints, illuminates blindspots and makes media bias explicit with our one-of-a-kind media analysis features.

> Avoid manipulative algorithms
> Spot media bias
> Discover news Blindspots
> Check the reliability of sources
> See who owns the news you consume

Read daily breaking stories from sources around the world, in real time. Like a modern day newspaper, we show you diverse stories instead of algorithm-driven content that can limit your worldview. News coverage is rarely unbiased, so we give you as much context as possible so you can come to your own conclusions. Compare coverage on partisan topics like politics, and elections.

I like the idea. But searching for topics is extremely difficult. I want to follow some more topics that what are showing up in discover and when I use the search bar it only shows other articles. I want to see the topics I can add too, not the articles right now. It's extremely frustrating. Makes me think I'm canceling after the trial honestly.

Originally, I would give the app 5-stars, and have recommended it to numerous friends and colleagues over the past couple of years. However, the May 2024 update changed the UI significantly, and *not* for the better. Moving through the UI is no longer intuitive and finding what I want to see is now more difficult, while the app attempts to push things the algorithm guesses are of interest to the front. Note to Ground News management: Poor UX will result in not renewing my subscription.

Hi Scott, thank you for sharing your feedback. Please note that we did not change the algorithm at all so the content you are seeing in the new update is the same as it was before. You can now pin topics you're interested in to the main navigation bar. If there's something you're looking for, our team would be happy to help at feedback@ground.news

This application presents news in a disorganized manner and provides irrelevant content. There is no effective way to customize the news feed, even when attempting to reduce the frequency of certain topics. For instance, if an economics feed begins displaying celebrity news that is not of interest, there are times when there are no options to filter out such content.
