InformedIE is hyperlocal news, built with the people who live there.
Open the app and you get what is actually happening around you: reporting from local newsrooms, short vertical videos from the street, opinion pieces from your community, and the stories your neighbors are breaking before anyone else picks them up.

MODERATED, NOT UNMANAGED
Every post is screened automatically before it goes live. Readers can report anything that breaks the rules, and reported content goes to a human review queue. You can block any user, and blocked accounts disappear from your feed for good. We have zero tolerance for abusive content and for users who post it.
LOCAL NEWSROOMS, VERIFIED
Verified organizations carry a badge so you always know when a story comes from an established newsroom and when it comes from a neighbor on the scene.
IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH
The full app is available in both languages. Switch any time.
YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR CALL
Location is used only to show you nearby news, and you decide whether to share it. You can delete your account and your content from inside the app at any time.
