Ground curates news from everywhere. I am able to see any and every topic. The app is clean and easy to use and works well between app and desktop. Their customer service is incredible. They're fast to reply and offer great solutions and recommendations. Highly recommend this app and company!

Amazing service. I've always wanted to get more in touch with the happenings of the world but I never knew which news sources to trust, let alone pay attention to. Ground does all of that for me. It aggregates a bunch of different news articles and their biases, or lack thereof, and presents it to me in a VERY easily digestible way. It's replaced Reddit/Twitter/TV for me for news.

Love the app overall but I have some issues with the way the app is displayed on my Pixel 9 Pro XL. There are buttons and text displayed behind my system status bar and camera cutout. The app doesn't seem to respect that as a boundary so I often have content or buttons render behind my status icons making it hard to use them. But again content and feature-wise this app is awesome!
