★★★★★ be very careful about the free trial.
★★★★★ before I could even explore the app i was asked to sign up for a 1 week free trial and then pay 40/y for a subscription as the only option for access.
★★★★★ I canceled within the free trial time frame but it did not "take" and I was charged $40.29 even though I signed up for monthly fee.

I agree with the review that the app performs poorly on tablets. I've had to uninstall/reinstall three times this week. It's frustrating that I have to do that for one of the best news apps ever! I rely on ground news for all my news because of its way of dividing sources by bias. Please work on this! I beg you.
This is a great service if you are up to the plethora of info they give you, but too much for an 80 year old. Wish they'd been around when I would have benefited more. Still, I will use it some and enjoy it for a year. Probably won't re-up.
Nice to find a news source I can trust. Well worth the subscription.
Doesnt work! Unable to set location or filter through what type of news I want to see. Deleted it.
Small, hard for me to see. Sorry
local news is broken. there's no option to set a fixed location. it insists on using phone location and provides no other option.
Same category, earning about as much.
