Recent one-star reviews

Far right psy-opHuge bias, both in ratings and it’s AI overviews. Not unbiased at all.

Shady, billing practice.There is no option to cancel your subscription from within the app. There is no mention of it, even under the manage subscription section. If you do try this service, I strongly suggest you use a virtual credit card number, so you have the ability to cancel the service if you decide you don’t want…

Hidden pay wallYet another app they get you to download it. create an account go through 20 screens and then they hit you with the subscription.

Great News Service succinct, no editorializingGreat sorry hit one star meat 10

Love itGround News is great. It really helps you to make up your own mind about a subject in the headlines, instead of getting fed with news the mainstream media thinks you need to hear.

Excellent SourcesI am new to Ground News, so far I’m satisfied.
