Software Reviews and Criticism

  • By 10056Ducks

    I didn’t know I needed this

    I learned about this app from an article on the Democratic National Committee website about combating disinformation. I don’t normally pay for apps but I checked this out because the DNC recommended it. Otherwise I’d probably never have considered it because I don’t really look at much disinformation online because almost all of my information sources are quite reputable and reliable. But when NewsGuard presents you with its assessment of a news site you get as many examples as needed to solidly validate the evaluation of various journalistic practices, information about ownership, investors, management structure, the history of the site, whatever is relevant to how the quantitative ratings were arrived at. Every piece of information is backed up with a link to its source

    Must subscribe @$2.99 to get proper service

    Where in the information page does it mention a subscription is required? I missed it. It was not until I tried to use the app (simply, so I could see if it might benefit me), failed to get a sign-on, then moved to the web site for guidance, tried to establish a sign-on account there, that I found I needed to provide credit card info to get a “free trial”...would then morphs into at $2.99 per month charge. No thanks. Only people who fall for fake news give up credit card info for “free trials.”

    No way to login

    I installed this app and it prompted me to login, but there was no way to login. No way to create an account. No link. No nothing. Their useless so-called help menu only took me back to the initial tutorial, Which is useful only if you can actually open the app, which I could not. I deleted this stupid app. Too bad: it’s a great idea, much needed. But they need to hire a UX designer who has actually graduated from middle school.

    How do you decide?

    If you’re not scrutinizing your news sources then you’re just letting any crazy person with an idea infiltrate your life. Best thing possible during a time of misinformation.
