Ground News is a news-reading app that helps you compare coverage from different outlets and understand media bias around the same story.
What is Ground News?
Ground News is a news-reading app focused on helping readers compare how different outlets cover the same event. It brings together reporting from thousands of news sources and organizes stories so you can view coverage across the political spectrum in one place. Readers use it to follow breaking news, spot stories that are underreported by one side, and compare source bias, factuality, and ownership context while reading. The app also offers personalized feeds based on followed topics and sources, making it useful for people who want broader awareness without relying on a single publication. Ground News is available as a mobile app and is also connected to web and browser-based reading workflows.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Ground News is a mainstream news app and its content-browsing features are consistent with its purpose. Because it personalizes feeds and tracks followed sources and reading activity, review its account, notification, and analytics settings if you want to limit profiling or reduce alerts. The listed bundle ID, com.checkitt, does not match the Ground News product name or domain, so confirm the installed app’s developer name, code signature, and download source before trusting it with account access or permissions.
Recommendation: Keep Ground News if you intentionally use it to compare news coverage and follow current events. If this app was not knowingly installed, or if the installed app identifies itself under a different developer than Ground News, inspect it in Finder or System Settings and remove it after confirming it is not the genuine app.
