We aggregate news, opinion columns, podcasts, research studies, and many other sources of information - in one place. We apply heavy NLP-based filtering to remove all the junk. And we give our users tools to customize their feeds with complete transparency.

This app is incredible This app is incredible. When I downloaded it, I was skeptical. But it far exceeded my expectations. I get my news in the morning on the BBC World Service. I consider myself a knowledgeable person. I am also a high school English and History teacher. I love this app because it allows me to swipe left or right based on the interest level of a current story. I swiped left on articles that I found uninteresting and the app quickly learned to give me the kinds of information I wanted. When the app shows you a headline and you click through, the next page has convenient bullet pointed summary of the main ideas. This is excellent for those of us who are busy and may not have time to read a full length article. Additionally, there is a tab for punditry and the app allows you to select sources. I also has this clever analysis of the quality of the work called the "nutrition label". There, you get information on the tone, relative complexity and neutrality of the language. This function is truly outstanding not only for educators but also for all those who want to be selective about the quality of the information they consume! I often download news apps, find them lacking, and then uninstall them right away. I will not be doing that with Otherweb!

Unique and easy to use news app! For someone that dislikes the massive onslaught of news that is thrown at us online, I really like Otherweb. It's unique design allows you to see what you want to see and skip what you don't; and it pulls articles from multiple news sites, not just one. You can also adjust your interests so it will only show you news articles that apply to those interests. I will definitely be using this app!

I have reviewed the app and noted the… I have reviewed the app and noted the following: * if it is possible better to make more news headline on front page under news tab to easly inform the reader and pick the interesting one. * on news page only screen swipe functionality available to change to other news. To this effect, sometime user's screen may not work effectively. Hence better to have addtional arrow to turn pages and explore more. * I have noted some inconsistent font and formating.

Fun way to customize your daily news! Rather than having to scroll through news articles that don’t interest me Otherweb.com customizes my daily news to only display news I’m interested in. I like the swipe left/right feature that lets me pick the articles I want read and get rid of those I don’t. This feature is similar to swiping on a dating app, which make the process fun!
