About this app

OUR AI MODELS FILTER JUNK OUT
20 cutting-edge models, with source code and datasets open to the public. Full transparency and no hidden biases. Effective detection (and filtering) of misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and clickbait.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND CONTROL YOUR FEED
You have complete control over sources, categories and the amount of articles in each category. You can enable and disable publications as you see fit. You can see how we customized the feed to your preferences, and manually adjust every single thing we did. There are no black boxes - you are in control.

A SLICK USER INTERFACE
If you like the topic of an article, swipe right (and you’ll see more articles on this topic over time). If you find the topic boring, swipe left (and you’ll see less). If you want to listen rather than read, click a button (or say “listen”) and we’ll play the summary for you. If you want to comment or share, it’s one button-click (or voice command) away.

A BULLET-POINT SUMMARY FOR EACH NEWS ITEM
Save your time and effort by reading a few short bullet points instead of giant walls of text. Most articles don’t need to be 8000 words. We summarize them for you in a few sentences (and then link to the source).

A NUTRITION LABEL FOR EACH NEWS ITEM
Our food comes with nutrition labels. Shouldn’t our news have them too? Well, now it does. Every article comes with a detailed nutrition label that helps you decide whether something is worth consuming -- before you consume it.

HANDS-FREE NEWS READING
Use voice commands to control our apps, and ask to listen to news articles instead of reading them. All the slick interface features described above - swipes, customizations, etc - can be done hands-free!

Experience all these benefits and more by downloading our app today. It's free, ad-free and junk-free.

Try it out for yourself, completely free of charge.

App itself loads VERY slow and clicked news opens very slow even if the newsfeed content itself is nice, maybe coz they keep pushing their Ai Marty which slows it down. Wish it could just pop open the Browse news feed instantly when you click on the app

Tldr: meh, good content, poor ux. I like the way you can choose content types, but the reading experience is poor. I should not need a second tap to continue reading. Just give me 1 page to scroll, and I don't want the reading to happen in a different app, especially one I do not have installed. And if I do have it installed, then the font size and style is different from the otherweb app.

Best app, but could you just open the articles inside the app? This is changing the usage experience. It shouldn't feel like we are just reading the headline here and explanations on other.
