Ad Fontes Reviews

They have breitbart, Fox News, and the daily wire, as way more reputable than TYT. Absolutely a hit piece. I’ve seen this chart degrade with each passing year. This is almost as useless as using a spoon to cut a steak.

why do you need an app. I won’t even get to the fact that it’s completely broken and the user can’t get past the loading screen. but the most important question is, why do you even need an app? sullying your good name. shame

At first glance you would assume AdFontes simply first goes by how factual the source is and put’s the source as high up the charts based on how factual the source is and then move it as far right or left as the source is. But that’s not true as a lot of Progressive sources that don’t fail fact checkers are ranked lower than other sources that fail a ton of them.

Media Bias Fact Check is a good way to check the number of times a source has failed a fact checker in the past 5 years. The Lever, The American Prospect and Common Dreams haven’t failed near the number of fact checkers that sources like Fox News and CNN do yet Fox News and CNN are always ranked higher on Ad Fontes

This is because Ad Fontes is funded to promote sources who are anti-union and anti-livable wage and who are against the rich paying their fair share of taxes.

Note: I’ve had it out with Media Bias Fact Check too over their take of TYT because they rank TYT on the same level as Fox News even with Fox News failing far more fact checkers BUT to Media Bias Fact Check’s credit they do rank Common Dreams, The Lever and American Prospect high for their factual reporting

When I open AdFontes all I get is a loading screen but nothing else happens. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that ended up netting the same result.

Works on desktop hoping AdFontes works soon 🥲

I downloaded AdFontes because it was difficult and inconvenient to use the browser version on my phone, but in AdFontes, I was met with a never ending loading screen and a buffer animation that circled on for ages and ages.

I gave a 1 star because I want AdFontes to get fixed. The purpose of AdFontes is important, and hopefully more 1 star reviews can amplify the magnitude of the issue and help push for an expedited solution.

Fix this. No excuse for this nonsense

Takes forever to load, unlike the site requires a login and a *nasty* binding arbitration clause that makes me question the integrity. I miss the old days of the chart. Oh well.

Disappointed that it only works horizontally. More disappointed that the text is small and the logos on the chart are mostly unreadable. It needs zoom! Looking forward to an improved version.

I don’t have a paid membership but I do have a membership on the website. I don’t know how to sign in. What’s the point of AdFontes if it locks you out and takes you to the website that also locks you out. Either have me sign in or play ads.

Really want to use this valuable app but it will not load.

AdFontes is hard-coded to load upside-down (bottom on the right), and ignores device orientation.

Why would a developer even take the time to do something like that?

As of 7/24/23 AdFontes is still not operational. I love what Ad Fontes does and being able to refer to their information on my iPhone was important to me. Hope this gets fixed soon!

I can’t get into AdFontes , it just loads and loads

I gave 4 stars because I think AdFontes and mission is incredibly important and valuable.

I have always loved Ad Fontes. AdFontes is handy, but even when I zoom in all the way, I still can't read most of the logos.

Love the online charts. Need this on my phone!

I only use mobile devices and the online version was difficult to use. AdFontes works great for mobile devices.

I am looking for any reliable resource to separate the chaff from the cream. The truth from the Scandalslut sensational stream. This is a matter not only have national security but of sanctity humanity and future. Ad Fontes. We need more like you and we need more impact. And we need constant improvement and vigilance

One of the best resources we have for determining bias in news media making it easier to discern which sources should be trusted, now as an app!

It takes a lot of heart and trueness to do what’s right. This organization encapsulates integrity with its rigorous and methodical media bias research. Thank you Ad Fontes!

I appreciate these ratings, especially during recent times, to help me understand where the news I read/watch comes from so I can be sure to find the best balance that will offer me more facts and less opinion. Thank you! Well done on AdFontes so the most recent ratings can be seen! - clsm
