Good for Quick Look at What’s Going on
Ground News is a great source for scanning the news with a view to seeing what’s going on in the world without having to wade through everything on offer in the “mediaverse.” As to those reviews faulting Ground News for listing so-called “fake news,” I suggest a companion subscription to Snopes.com

Thanks so much for your kind feedback Wilda, we greatly appreciate your testimonial and we're so pleased to hear you're finding the service useful in seeing the multiple perspectives. Thanks again for your support!
I recently subscribed to Ground News…
I recently subscribed to Ground News because I really liked the concept behind it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much personal value from the platform. That might be because I’m not deeply interested in news in general, and it seemed like there was limited coverage for international topics. Most of what I saw was focused on U.S. politics—especially the usual noise around Donald Trump—which wasn’t what I was hoping for.
That said, I still think Ground News is doing incredibly important work in today’s age of misinformation. Their mission matters, and if you’re someone who actively follows political news and wants to better understand media bias and blind spots in reporting, it’s definitely worth checking out and supporting.
Also, shoutout to their support team—they were kind and cooperative in issuing me a refund. Much appreciated.

Fair news view
Update on july 30th, 2025. I was informed by Ground News team they decide to update the label in Israeli - Gaza for a better content description.
I understand this could seems to everyone irrelevant, but not in the eyes of those who are involved.
Well done Ground News!
Update on July 29th, 2025. In a growing debate over a possible genocide in Gaza they are still sponsoring the "Israel-Hamas Conflict" view. I feel deeply sad for giving them money.
On June the 18th 2025 I wrote:More or less two week ago I subscribed their premium option.
Well, the point is I suspect that under a seemingly neutral app they are sponsoring what's going on in Palestine.
I repeatedly signaled the app authors that among *all* neutral labeled channels of news they expose one isn't. Specifically under "Israel - Hamas conflict" they report news that can hardly be related with wars or conflicts.
In response, my review of their app which was indeed fact based, has been repetedly censored with the accusation of exposing political content.
I offered my five stars if they switched to something in line with their publicly spoken purposes, as "Israeli - Palestine", but never got an answer to my proposal.
As a consequence I reach to a conclusion they're putting on the readers the lens trough which they'd like some facts to be seen.
I simply think their behaviour is not fair.

There is no easy way to unsubscribe
Their sources are too limited. Also, they make it impossible to unsubscribe. I thoroughly regret signing up for this.

Regretted Paying
Regretted paying the subscription almost immediately as it's not balanced in a way that matters.
The US' Left-Right paradigm is not what indicates balance or "fairness". Fox and CNN often spout the same lies, as do BBC, RTE, Euronews.
Balance would come from a West v East paradigm or a Global North v Global South paradigm. That would be worth paying for, especially here in Europe where RT is banned from Television.
Signed up months ago and barely used it, now I find their adverts interrupting my actual news sources.

Hi Gordon, we're sorry to hear about your experience and we appreciate your feedback! I'm happy to clarify that the bias ratings aren't intended to convey balance or fairness, but I completely understand that there are other metrics and context to consider as well. I've shared your feedback with the team regarding looking at different paradigms, and if you have any other specific suggestions for what you'd like to see other than the left/right ratings, please let us know at feedback@ground.news as we're always striving to create the best product possible.
They subscribed me with auto-renew before disclosing the price.
I was watching a Mentour channel on YouTube, and become interested in the Ground News Promotion. I wanted to get pricing info, so I started into the process. I assumed that before actually billing me, they would show a cost summary. Not so. AFTER logging my payment, they finally disclosed that the fee was 60 bucks, and worse, that they had set me up for auto-renew. I am still fighting this. I succeeded in getting Snap-wise, the payment processor, to shut off auto-renew, but I still do not know if I will get my 60 bucks back. Disgusted with Ground News and the Mentour YouTube channel.
Update 21April25
Since I have received a refund from Snap-Wise/Ground News, I have upgraded from one to three stars.

Great service, valuable information
The service makes it incredibly easy to see which organizations are owned by who and where their slant comes from. I really loved the Blindspot feed which shows news items that are only reported by one political side or the other. It was very interesting and telling seeing a timeline of which news items are amplified and which are ignored by certain political leaning. It really opens your eyes to just how corrupt legacy corporate media is.

Hi Cesar, thanks for your positive review and I completely understand your concerns when sources re-publish the same stories as other outlets. If you have any other publishers we could add to the service to provide the coverage you're looking for, please email the team any source websites at feedback@ground.news and we're happy to add them for you.
Not yet the minimum viable product
The app is crashing frequently, or runs very slow and they continuously link to other news pages with ads or a paygate, with an even worse interface. It’s a good idea, but they need to curate their own news better and fix the app asap. It is far from a product worth to pay for.

As Europeans we are objective
As European it’s crazy to se that it’s ether Rep or Dem side. We all work across the borders of the political parties after elections and fight for the goal off the country and Europe instead of undermining the political parties.

DONT DO IT
DONT DO IT! Every article takes you to another website so you can read them regardless of ground news. Nothing is original. It is not worth the money spent and of course, no refunds.

Hi Margaret, we're sorry to hear that you are disappointed in your experience. Ground News is an aggregator, so being able to access original reporting from external outlets is what Ground News was designed to do.
inappropriate twist request for payment
This turned out to be my mistake when signing up for a free trial. I was being told that GroundNews was unable to take payment from my card and I should update my card. It took 3 or 4 emails to sort. Andrea and Bethlehem were incredibly patient and persistent and always polite. A very good experience.

Ground News came as the perfect answer to my increasing concerns about information on social media. The personal control over what I wanna see is very refreshing. It’s the main place I go to be updated now.

Great Time Saver and Interface
I originally thought I'd just give the website a try, as Im an independent so none of the "left/right" political paradigm really fits in with me or my reading anyway, but now I check their app almost every day haha! It's still nice for me to he able to get a general overview of the news quickly, and from a clean and organised location, while being able to quickly see the biases of the media outlets etc., and I also really appreciate the customisable notifications. Job well done.

Hi Ariyan, we're sorry to hear about your negative experience. Ground News provides news content from every side of the political spectrum, so you will find "biased" news on the platform. The goal of Ground News is to help readers spot where bias is coming from, how it shapes narratives, and even cover their own bias blindspots. Any time you click on a headline in the platform, you will be presented with multiple sides of a story – from the left, center, and right of the political spectrum. Most stories come neatly packaged with a "Bias Comparison" that allows you to see how each of these sides differ at a glance. We are sorry if our comparison tools did not meet your expectations, and we welcome your feedback. You can easily unsubscribe by following the instructions listed in our Help Center or by emailing our team at feedback@ground.news.
