Great but….
Awesome tool to get the headlines well resumed…missing more locations on the “local” tab
Sound concept, but a long long way to go
The idea of an ai powered news aggregator is neat, but man does this thing have a long way to go to be something that gains mass adoption and real usability. Right now there is no way to categorize anything much less tell the app what you’re interested in, so you get whatever it is they’re serving. And unfortunately what they’re serving is political and pop culture news from all over the globe, which makes 99% of it completely useless.
Such a great news app!
Love the design and function. I love that you can see what both the left and right are saying about particular news headlines too. I'm not a fan of news apps and this is the only one I've used that I enjoy opening everyday. Makes for great conversation with other people too when I want to talk about the news. I think people are sleeping on this app and I'm glad to be able to use it before it gets super popular!
Misleading
I have used this app for about a year. I really liked it but it slowly started leaning more and more LEFT as time went on. The “main stories” that are supposed to be in the middle, have gone far left. I even fact checked 25 stories and ChatGPT confirmed they all leaned 70% left in average. Quite disappointed. Someone must have influenced them ($), because the app was not like this before. Always be careful what you consume! Even established apps like this will promise you one thing, but deceive you. Thanks
Great app!!
Love the concept and I think once some of the kinks are worked out it’ll be unstoppable.
Refresh much?
Top 10 stories seem to never change. There is no such thing as a 24 hour news cycle in which the top 10 headlines are static, frozen in time. This app is another example of a good idea that was poorly executed.
Choose your source
Pick the source and or compare the differences in how news is reported among the various outlets. Very impressive technology!!
Horrible
Horrible UI and no settings to make it look normal. Deleted immediately.
The best news and trends app
I love how you can see right and left prospective, and sources are clearly listed to learn more. Love how simple the design is no distractions only news. Would love more features focusing on trends by industry for example the industry you work in, but also keeping the design simple
Many inaccuracies
App consistently has wrong information. Today it states that Nathan Mahoney was the CEO of United Health Care (he is not). The AI images often have the wrong race for professional athletes. The all AI powered news with no fact checking is dreadful.
Great way to stay up-to-date on the latest stories
BTW does an amazing job distilling the latest news into a digestible format, but also makes it easy to take a deeper dive on stories that interest me most!
Garbage
Title says it all. At least have humans edit the AI generated summaries.
AI curated and balanced news!
I love BTW! This is a fantastic tool to get AI-curated news that’s balanced, and relevant. The user interface is brilliant. The notifications are helpful and customizable. The nightly “bot-tom” line daily news wrap up solved a problem that I didn’t know I had. Get this app!
The perfect news app for people who hate news
I typically hate reading the news. It's depressing, there's so much to sort through, and I never know which outlets and platforms are reliable or unbiased. So I actively avoid it, even though I want to stay up to date with what's going on around the world. That's where BTW comes in. I've been using BTW for a few months now, since it's beta form, and it is the ONLY news app you need. Not only does it rank the most-talked-about topics for you (perfect for trending conversations and news flashes), it allows you to browse different outlets (both local and international) to give multiple viewpoints on each topic. And I love how simple it is - it literally only takes a few minutes of my day to get updated, which to me, is the best way to get informed these days without being overwhelmed. 11/10 would recommend for anybody.
This thing is awesome
I hate the news. Boring, never could get into it. Somehow I know everything that’s going on now and it doesn’t feel like any work. Very cool.
One stop for the day’s top stories
With byte-sized overviews of the day’s top stories and an attractive and intuitive interface, Break the Web is a one-stop app to digest and understand the essential political and pop culture news of each day. Whether for moments where you don’t have time to read a bunch of articles, or for stories that don’t appear in the “top 3” or “top 5” format popular across other news websites, this app perfectly fills those gaps: it covers the top 20 stories, without partisan bias, succinctly enough that you can glean understanding in just a couple of minutes. I also love the vertical swipe use, the color scheme, and that it links to external sources for in-depth coverage if desired. Highly recommend!
