About Perspecs News

Perspecs is a new free app that curates the top news stories from a variety of established regional, national and international news sources. Unlike traditional aggregators and news curation services, Perspecs goes a step further and offers readers 3 polarised opinions of the same story.

How these opinions are categorised can vary. For political stories this could be in the form of ‘left’, ‘background’, ‘right’. For review items the categories could be ‘negative’, ‘neutral’, ‘positive’.

Readers often stick to their regular sources of news therefore often only ever seeing one side of a story. Perspecs will give you the opportunity to see things from a different perspective and allow you to form your own informed opinion.

Perspecs will publish 1 edition per day and each edition will be packed with a variety of interesting and sometimes controversial topics. Most importantly, there will be 3 sides to every story.

At Perspecs we really value your feedback. If you would like to contact us, please visit http://www.perspecsnews.com/

It is a very clean and easy to use app, which not only helps me to quickly find the news of interest, but reveals the controversy in it. I feel on the right way to the true story.

No mixed themes. Particularly a dark theme for the eyes and late night reading.

Q70%
by Q####:

I really want to love the app but in it's current form, it has very bad ux. 1. Pressing back button from anywhere in the app is quitting the app, instead of going back to previous screen. 2. When I try to read a full article, that view is not mobile optimized. Most of the time, I'm getting full desktop version of the article's source website, which is very hard to read on mobile. You should implement a mobile friendly reader view. 3. The app overall feels kinda slow and stutters a bit. That is not at all acceptable on a high end phone like Nexus 6P. Hope you can make it run smoother.

This sounds like a fantastic concept. Unfortunately the UX is terrible. Choppy animation, not using native design principles, makes me not trust the app's decision as to news articles. Please make this app good because I really want an app like this!

Q70%
by Q####:

The app itself is glitchy, takes far too long to get to read a story. You have to wait until it updates stories before it'll let you read. The app response to touch is terrible. The app basically gives links to trinity mirror content. So you click on a story and you must select again to read the full article on the originator website. Add to that the most intrusive pop up ads you can get. Also the supposed different perspectives don't work, I got the same article from different publications

P70%
by P####:

Hard to use, sadly and I really wanted unbiased news.

Q70%
by Q####:

There seems to be one screen with some numbers and you can't get anywhere from there

Q70%
by Q####:

Fantastic idea. Works well. Just can't turn off notifications which is frustrating

P70%
by P####:

Nice concept but couldn't make it work. First screen is days of week with some progress like bars. No idea how to get to news. Nothing is clickable

W70%

Want to see more articles though

Q70%
by Q####:

Just fix the back button guys

S70%
by S####:

Great idea, great app. If I'm being picky, I wished: (1) that the return button on my phone took me back one page instead of exiting the whole app and then having to re-load the app when I open it again. (2) The full article could be expanded for reading within the app itself so that a new page didn't pop up on a third party site with annoying ads popping up in my face on the 3rd party site

F70%
by F####:

Its an excellent idea but only spoiled by the annoying back button closing the app rather than taking you back. Please fix this.

S70%
by S####:

Love the idea of this app. *NOW WORKING*

S70%
by S####:

For or against or do you sit in the middle? Seeing where your opinion lies with the major media news publications is a great idea.

by W####:

Rubbish. Keeps coming up with runtime error.
