Frequently Asked Questions:

Why am I still seeing ads with a subscription? Ground News does not actually sell any ads at all. The ads you see come from the external websites you are visiting. We cannot control or remove their ad content as those news outlets rely on ads for revenue. Ground News is subscriber-supported and does not make any revenue from the external ads you might come across.

Can I still use the app's internal browser? Absolutely! The choice is yours. The internal browser makes it easier to navigate between news sources, but if you'd prefer a more immersive reading experience with fewer external ads, try our External Browser by tapping on the icon.

Are there any additional charges for using the External Browser? No, the External Browser feature is free to use. There are no extra charges.
