      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).

            For sure, I haven’t used them much but I was planning to look into it when I had a chance
