Good News Network

I really like everything about the app and the content being aggregated, it is a noble and kind deed the developer has done. I also understand that new subscriptions and retention are essential to run the organization and maintain a business. My gripe is the tactics, do the pop up ads have to completely overtake the entire screen as your reading every few minutes? A banner ad I understand, but the fullscreen pop up ad doesn’t entice me to subscribe as much as it irritate me into not using the app. It makes it feel more like browsing a spam filled random site than a legitimate news app.

I love news networks that only talk about positivity. I HATE NEGATIVITY. So it’s so relieving that there’s news networks out there that truly want to make the world a better and much more fun place to be. Something I’ve noticed is that bad news shows usually look for the biggest city to look like it’s dangerous, like Detroit Michigan. I now know that they’re just targeting them to make them look bad. They always look for the biggest local city because they know they’re gonna get more bad things out of that to make the city look dangerous. You guys are nice enough to make the world look good instead of bad, and you never target a specific location just because it’s bigger and has, as it seems, more bad things. I’ve now turned away from all the negativity and I’m now focused on letting the positives control my life. Part of that is because of people like you that truly make the world a better place to be. Thanks for all that you do, it means a lot to this world.

For the past couple of months now, I’ve been getting constant anxiety over our regular news headlines. I thought that by downloading an app solely dedicated to good news, I’d finally be able to see what good news there was in the world. While most of the stories on this app are definitely heartwarming and eased my anxiety a bit, there are some issues I have. Mainly, there are just some topics that I was hoping I would never see on this app. However, not only do they show up, but there seems to be a bias toward favoring one side over the other. While I actually agreed with some of these stances, I’m very disappointed because I wanted something that didn’t take any clear stances on controversial issues. All I wanted was stories about great news without any sort of conflict. Now I might have to look elsewhere.
