Best news app by far. Unfortunately, the latest UI update made it cumbersome to use - you no longer see the number of sources when previewing a news story, only if you click it individually. This is very annoying, as it used to show how much "attention" each news story has got, but now each story has to be checked one at a time to see the source count. I don't understand why was such a nice feature downright removed for a UI "update" (which, imo, made the app worse off if anything).

Hi Dominykas, I've shared your feedback with the team to see if the source count is something we can add back. The new layout has changed but still includes the same newsfeeds as before with a way for readers to personalize their app a bit more. Here is a video of the latest changes: https://help.ground.news/en/articles/1835265 I hope this helps!

It does a great job. I just wish it had a widget for the home screen so I could get a summary for the daily news without having to open the entire app. People rightly complain about how messy the map is but they give you the ability to find news based on tags down to even local news, even though going to your actual local news website would be better, but they also give you a very functional search bar to find you want. The news reports always have good breadcrumbs to get more info. Worth it.

I like the idea. But searching for topics is extremely difficult. I want to follow some more topics that what are showing up in discover and when I use the search bar it only shows other articles. I want to see the topics I can add too, not the articles right now. It's extremely frustrating. Makes me think I'm canceling after the trial honestly.
