Amazing application. I really like this different way to learn what is going on in the world.
I posted a story about an auto accident closing lanes of traffic yesterday and received immediate response from other users that my post helped their commute. New is from many sources and verified as not being FAKE news.
Pros:
Great local news coverage, it distills the need to know info
I like the fact that I can see across the map which events are the important or active ones, as opposed to just living in my own North American bubble. The reliability and verification of the source is even more important to me.
Pros:
Verification history (e.g. by the different Press entities) really helps me to trust the source.
Cons:
Will need more users at the locations to really benefit from the live crowd responses.
Great app, great concept! I've following the news-tech domain fairly closely and this seems like a promising concept to get rid of fake news as well as serving location based relevant content to the users. However I feel that this could grow multifold passively serving as the backbone for various news apps across the globe. Do you by any chance plan to open up the API?
