About Otherweb

The internet is full of clickbait, eye-catchers, autoplaying videos, fake news and other forms of digital junk. The Otherweb is a walled-garden where users can cut through the noise. 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.

I love the way Otherweb lets me view… I love the way Otherweb lets me view news. It allows me to select what I want to see so I'm not bombarded with news I'm not interested in. The Nutrition Label tab is nice because it gives you a break down of everything in the articles.

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!

Great News Source With Lots of Potential This is a good source to get news from because you choose what type of news you get to a custom degree and you also get tons of information about the articles such as if they are using propaganda techniques or inflammatory language. There are some features that would make the app better one example is having the full article in the app itself as it would make for a more seamless experience. Another feature that would be appreciated would be tool-tips on the nutrition facts section that can get more information about the terms for first time readers. One final thing that would make this app better is user feedback for the articles such as a user rating and comments like the news from windows on computer. Overall the app is good and there is a lot of potential that could give it an even stronger identity elevating it to five stars very soon.
