The Factual: Unbiased News Briefings for Informed Readers
The Factual is an iPhone app developed by CivikOwl Inc. that provides subscribers with unbiased news briefings to keep them informed on a wide range of topics. As an education and reference program, The Factual aims to deliver the most informative and least opinionated stories from across the political spectrum.
Every weekday morning at 6am EST, The Factual delivers a daily news briefing featuring the most credible stories on the five most widely-reported topics. The top-rated story is summarized, saving readers valuable time, while also presenting multiple viewpoints and long-reads from various political perspectives.
The app allows users to dive deeper into any topic to access the latest updates or search by political leaning or coverage volume. This empowers readers to form their own conclusions based on the news. Additionally, The Factual's artificial intelligence system provides credibility grades for each story, allowing users to understand why a story was rated and recommended.
In addition to the main news briefings, The Factual includes a selection of under-reported stories that are highly rated but covered by only one news outlet. With no ads and full transparency, The Factual app provides subscribers with only the facts they need to stay well-informed.
