I like the concept of Ground News, but about the privacy...

According to Exodus, their mobile app contains 9 trackers:

  • Amplitude
  • AppsFlyer
  • Facebook Analytics
  • Facebook Login
  • Facebook Share
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Crashlytics
  • Google Firebase Analytics
  • Google Tag Manager

Also wants location, camera, phone state, and advertising ID access?!

No thanks.

    Could you just use the mobile site?

    Didn't realize they had one, appears a lot of functionality requires an account to use. I'd be cautious overall based on the privacy practices they use in their mobile app, doesn't seem to be a big concern for them and I'd be careful giving them any trust. But if you do wish to use them, their mobile site with a good content blocker would definitely be the best option (preferably without an account if possible).
