| 2024-11-11 |  | | en | Doesn't work for Forbes at the moment of me writing this review |
| 2024-10-21 |  | | en | It doesn't work. I bought Ground News subscription. I installed this extension on my Chrome and it never works. I go to a BBC article for example and the auto information on the top doesn't pop up. If I try to manually click on the extension the extension says "This doesn't look like a recognised news article" (BBC, really?!). What's wrong with all of this? How do I make it work like in this video? |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | en | Small team. Outstanding communication. The opposite of today's norm.......you should check this app out. You will be amazed how accurately they detect bias. Thanks, Harleen. |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | en | I really like the idea of this extension, however, it just seems to not load on or recognize major outlets regularly. I can't see any info on any NYTimes articles, also issues with BBC, CNN. I assumed these large outlets would have been easiest to confirm this is working properly. |
| 2024-08-14 |  | | en | I like your app a lot, however i dont need it working on every page i visit. Thus when i set the permission to 'this app can read site data' > on click or only on allowed sites i expect it to sit quietly in the background until needed. However the domain name 'extension.ground.news' is still the top queried domain on my dns server whilst browsing. I didnt get my wireshark out try see further details... I think it should respect permissions, and be quiet in the background unless it has access to a page. |
| 2024-07-26 |  | | en | Good to be aware of the bias of the news sites we read on the regular. My only criticism is there's too much going on in the UI. It would be nice to be able to see the owner of a news site at a glance as well since some sites are owned by one conglomerate. |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | en | If youo want one browser extention to handle your news, this is it! I read ALOT and the extention helps me prioritize what I am reading so I don't end up caught in other people's fantacies... |

| 2024-04-11 |  | | en | An amazing tool for understanding the news behind the news and most of all, a healthy way of understanding any media content, by the narrow or wide angle, the freedom of expression may or can take. |
| 2023-12-21 |  | | en | I would Like to see web version for windows of your app in dark mode, these are just low hanging fruits. Other than that - love your app! |
