Review summary

Users praise AllSides for aggregating news from multiple political perspectives in a clean and ad-free environment, which helps in understanding media bias. However, many report stability problems including crashes and loading errors. The app's sensitive horizontal swipe gestures interfere with vertical scrolling, causing accidental article switches and ad repeats that disrupt reading. Despite some feature limitations and occasional connectivity issues, users find value in its balanced news coverage and clear presentation.

Pros

Provides news from multiple perspectives (left, right, center), helping users see bias and form balanced views.
Clean and easy-to-use interface appreciated by many users.
Allows users to stay updated on major national and international news without ads.
Free access to diverse news sources without requiring payment.
Helps users understand media bias through side-by-side article comparisons.

Cons

App frequently crashes or fails to load properly, leading to stability issues.
Scrolling functionality is overly sensitive; vertical scrolling often triggers unwanted horizontal swiping between articles, causing frustration.
Presence of frequent and sometimes repetitive ads disrupts reading experience and can lock up the screen.
Some users encounter issues with the app only working on mobile data, not on WiFi connections.
Lack of advanced features such as account login, widget support, or ability to open articles in external browsers limits usability.

2026-04-07	Br*****	The app is generally fine, but the mobile website is 100x better. I need the app allow individual articles to open news in my browser where an ad blocker blocks the obnoxious amount of ads that plague every modern website. I don't know how people can deal with constant flashing ads, pop ups, etc.

2026-01-09	mi*****	I love this app! I want news, not bias. This app both gives me facts as they are known, AND access to what all the major news agencies are saying, and how they are saying it. 10 out of 10. Thank you, AllSides.
