User reviews

It's a wonderful thing to have some good background on the sources ppl will throw out on SMS--immediately being able to be cautious of bias makes my reading smarter, my decisions sharper.

Check out that privacy policy. Pay attention to the world. This publisher does not disclose your information, or sell it for personal gain. There's no ads, no nonsense, and it works wonderfully. Provides proper real time in line checking - making it a lot harder to get duped by the amount of garbage out there. Keep it up, dev. Watching you create things this magical in real time has been nothing but a treat. Watch out for the gibson <3

An easy way to determine the veracity and bias of news sources that are unfamiliar to me. I can't wait for more updates!
