My interest in there being an app cooled when: 1. I could add sources from a pick-list but after each add the pick-list returned to the top; 2. after a few additions, a message told me to use the web edition; and 3. the web design felt outdated like something this important could be more visual and less texty. So I'm deleting this now.

Pros: Great resource. Love the search bar and the inclusion of local news organizations. VERY helpful to understand where various news sites land on the bias chart. Cons: I really wish when I zoomed in it made the icons bigger also. I have decent vision, but I struggle to see some of the wording on the various logos. Since I don't know all the sources via personal experience it is difficult to recognize a few of them. I also am not a fan of apps that are only in landscape mode on a phone.
