Description
Every news organization has its own biases, even the ones who say they don't.
But with Newzit you will always get both sides of a story.
You might see articles that upset you but there is no fake news, because we won't index the sites who produce it.
Pay-walled sites are treated the same as everyone else, although their content will be flagged for users.
In time the home pages you visit most often will be presented to you first.
So far we have indexed 900+ US sites and 200+ UK sites.
Shortly we will be adding news sites from Australia, New Zealand and Canada with Top
Story options for those countries to follow.
Key features:
• You can either use the search bar or browse the day’s 60 Top Stories in the US and UK, picked strictly by algorithm.
• Top Stories are presented for the US and UK. You can toggle between the two by clicking the relevant flag at the top of the page.
• By clicking the 'See more version' button for each group you will be shown the same story as covered by other sites.
• You can also click on any of the most-searched terms of the moment in the ‘ticker tape’ at the top of the page.
• Thumbnails of popular home pages for the US and UK are included so you can see at a glance what is going on in your country and visit those sites directly by clicking the relevant page.
• Enjoy Newzit in dark-mode if you prefer.

Ratings and Reviews
Live homepage screen shots of many news sites
The live homepages feature is a great way to quickly scan many news sources, even ones you wouldn't normally visit. It's like being at an actual newsstand.
It also aggregates links to news sources across the political spectrum, however the app itself is quietly owned by a subsidiary of conservative tabloid the Daily Mail. Make of that what you will.
Great idea
This app is a great idea. I like to see the headlines from different news sources. It gives me a good perspective of the world. And it isn’t curated by what some algorithm thinks I want to see. I like that. And it used to work better on my iPhone. Now it is very unstable. Partway through an article it crashes and I have to start over again. And then it crashes again. And I have to start over again. Get it? It’s pretty annoying. But still a great idea.
Hmmmmm
Just downloaded and after brief usage it appears to function well. Even though it claims to be neutral I personally believe it leans liberal. As an example if you look at the Live Homepages the preponderance of the links are liberal and if you consider placement 4 out of the first 5 are liberal. Also since it is a free download I have to wonder where their revenue comes from.
