Ground News is the largest news aggregator in the world with over 50K news sources and 60K articles added daily.

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

*Very* disappointing for science content. There's very little & too much of that is actually political vs. science. Some glitches: articles not translated, cookie preferences not supported across platforms. The vast majority of 'blindspot' offerings are 'for the right'. Unclear whether this is an attempt by the app creator to convert the right or whether it simply reflects the dominance of the left in the media. Regardless: if you're seeking different perspectives (I am), there's not much here.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. You should be seeing Blindspots for both the Left and Right. This sounds like a bug. Could you reach out to us with any relevant screenshots? Also, I have a few tips to improve your newsfeed, please reach out to us at feedback@ground.news There isn't enough room in these comment boxes to write them out.

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.
