Straight Arrow News App: Comprehensive Review of Fact-Based News Platform

by Straight Arrow News, LLC

Straight Arrow News delivers fact-based reporting with tools to identify media bias gaps. The iOS app provides video news, podcasts, and comparative media analysis for users seeking balanced news consumption.

Detailed Review

Straight Arrow News positions itself as a fact-based news platform designed to counter media bias through comparative analysis and context-driven reporting. The application serves as a mobile news hub featuring daily video updates, original podcasts, and written articles across political, economic, and social topics, with particular emphasis on stories underreported by mainstream outlets. The app's core functionality centers on its Media Miss™ and Media Landscape tools, which systematically track coverage gaps across right- and left-leaning publications. These features provide visual representations of story selection biases, allowing users to identify which narratives receive disproportionate attention or neglect from various media factions. The queue system enables personalized content consumption, while offline reading and listening capabilities support on-the-go news consumption without constant connectivity. User experience reflects a clean, minimalist interface prioritizing video content and easy navigation between news categories. The design emphasizes chronological presentation over algorithmic curation, with clear section divisions for video reports, articles, and podcast episodes. Real-world usage patterns suggest the app serves both as a primary news source and a secondary reference tool for media bias verification, particularly during breaking news events where coverage disparities become most apparent. User feedback reveals polarized perceptions of the app's claimed neutrality. While reviewer J*Mo! (2025-05-10) praised it as 'the absolute best App/place for news' with 'Zero Propaganda,' others like Kathy Hedrick (2025-07-10) perceived left-leaning bias in Trump administration coverage. The July 2025 reviews show particular contention around coverage omissions, with capn zach2 (2025-07-22) noting absent reporting on Tulsi Gabbard revelations despite the app's mission to highlight undercovered stories. The platform demonstrates strength in systematic bias identification and context provision but faces challenges in perceived execution of its neutrality mandate. Its comparative tools provide unique value for media-literate users, though the absence of transparent editorial guidelines may limit trust among audiences seeking verifiably neutral reporting. The app serves best as a complement to—rather than replacement for—comprehensive news consumption routines.

I’ve been listening to this for a few days and I think I have finally found something that tries to not only be objective, but also explain the biases of media coverage of any given event or story. Far more in-depth than 1440. Seems like a real winner.

After turning down $12 million or more from the illuminati several years ago, I vowed to educate the public as to what is really going on in this country. It is a wonderful experience to be living in this period when Trump is actively cleaning up the planet after millions of years under Satanic rule——as Christ clearly said!

Dispute the claim it’s not bias. Typical lefties can’t control their selves. Check out the coverage on the Tulsi Gabbard revelations. Not there. SMH. Bends Left Dispute the claim it’s not bias.

I thought that this app would be unbiased, but it seems to be that every story is left leaning at everything is reporting negative about our Trump administration which I believe in, and I will follow the truth not the garbage that is spewed by the so I will delete this app and no longer follow the stories!! Too many tales that are left leaning I thought that this app would be unbiased, but it seems to be that every story is left leaning at everything is reporting negative about our Trump administration which I believe in, and I will follow the truth not the garbage that is spewed by the so I will delete this app and no longer follow the stories!!
