Shades: News & Culture Reviews

by TheOnlyEmmy

i think Shades will get really popular very quickly. it’s pretty easy to use, it has seemingly endless stories to scroll through. and it gives sources and good information. news sites are so confusing now and most of them overload you with information. Shades sorts through it so u can read anything from story about California gun bills to will smith and the oscar’s to weird laws that are still in place. it has stories for everyone. everything is sourced as well (which i would expect from any news site). it’s fun to scroll through. my only complaint is when going from the home page > clicking on a story > clicking on a subtopic in a story > scrolling down through the story, scrolling down through the story gets a little glitchy. sometimes i’ll scroll down through it and it will go back to the top when i haven’t even pressed anything. this is quite frustrating when i’m trying to read a story. it should only move back up if i physically use my finger to swipe up.
otherwise it’s a great app and a great concept, just has a few glitches.

I’m giving Shades a four because I love absolutely everything about it and I highly suggest anyone interested in learning about current events to download. I’ve been looking for an app that is as down to the point (while still giving a ton of information and links to articles as well), but looks clean and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. However the only downside I have is that the topics don’t refresh that often. I already read most of the tiles and there’s nothing new (for example in the today section) for me to read.

it’s a great app with a great concept, and i started getting news here since last week and i loved it, but i have had some issues with baw and the display area for the iPhone 12 mini. i’ve only had issues with baw not loading sometimes or the coin splash not going away or barely moving, and i can’t click the back button because it’s too far up on the screen so i have to relaunch Shades . nonetheless, it’s a great news app.

So detailed and interesting. I really like all the stuff you can look through and the stories that go along with everything. People need Shades.

Shades does an amazing job of curating different viewpoints on the biggest topics of the day, all from reliable sources. It’s like Reader’s Digest updated for the digital era (and much cooler-looking — the interface is sick)

quite legitimately Shades we need for the internet we need. Everything there is to know, is there.

Hard to describe what it is. You’ve gotta experience it for yourself.

I’m biased, but Shades isn’t. You should try it!
