HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (14 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

What users say

Latest reviews, United States App Store.

★★★★★Sep 13, 2026
Broadly informative

Wonderful little news app. Broad, informative coverage that seems to be unbiased. I took one star away as I am unable to find a way to share a story, or a link to same.

★★★★★Aug 16, 2026
By far the best way to stay informed

I’ve had a number of friends recommend this app to me and it didn’t disappoint! Impartial, accurate, and gives me the opportunity to make my own opinion. Would love to see this have a community board to share personal perspectives with others!

★★★★★Aug 7, 2026
Amazing!

Unbiased news! Love this app!

★★★★★Jul 24, 2026
If you like a completely AI run app, then download it, otherwise don’t.

This app seems to be entirely ran by artificial intelligence. If you click on certain countries like India or China, their flags are wrong, and look to be generated by AI. It wouldn’t be that hard to go in and put the proper flag of each country in its proper place. Some countries that are major players in the world don’t even have flags. France, Norway, just to name a few. This isn’t app breaking, just frustrating. It seems like no human effort was poured into this app whatsoever.

★★★★★May 25, 2026
Articles need to be proof read by humans before released

Clearly no one proof reads what the AI writes before it’s released because some of the articles get key facts wrong
