About this app
Verity is a free news app created by the Improve the News Foundation (ITN), an apolitical American non-profit. It aims to counter pressure from political forces and click-maximizing AI that have resulted in a news environment with bias, omissions, polarization, and "alternative facts". Verity’s aim is to empower people to discover the complete and nuanced truth behind every major news story. It does this by separating facts from narratives. This even includes “nerd narratives” from the Metaculus forecasting community. Verity is also a powerful news aggregator facilitating viewing news from multiple perspectives.

Awesome New App... Allows a person to Taylor the app left, center, right OR BOTH (both left and right leaning reporting at the same time). Also very cool – there is a SHARE button at the top of each article - super for saving a link for future reference. 👉 This link also allows you to open a version of the Improve The News "article" in a web browser... and when you do that, alternative points of view are STILL present! This opens up countless rabbit holes for further exploration!

Fantastic app to replace all news apps! There is really no reason to use any other news source instead of Improve the News. The headlines are aggregated and things I care about are categorized cleanly. As you know, the revolution comes with the sliders. You can see what the other viewpoints are on the breaking news stories and easily browse through different opinions to break your filter bubble. It’s been a long year with news media becoming even more partizan and dividing us. Improve the News offers a fantastic tool to break out of your filter bubble.

Has not been updated since October 2021. Keeps showing the same news stories over and over for a week on some of them. Refreshing the app does no good, it pulls the same stories I have already seen. If you use the app once a week it may be okay. Any more often and you will see constant repetition.
