Tested CuriousCats AI for a week as my only news source
Okay so I've been trying to cut down my news scrolling because honestly it was getting out of hand. Like 40+ mins a day just jumping between apps and still feeling uninformed lol.
Was googling for a news app without ads and CuriousCats AI popped up in the results. Looked it up, and it seemed interesting enough, so I thought why not commit to using ONLY this for a full week.
The first two days felt weird because I kept instinctively opening Google News out of habit. But the feed was actually decent from day one. Short summaries that don't feel dumbed down and genuinely zero ads, which surprised me.
The thing that got me was the multiple perspectives feature. For the same story it pulls coverage from different outlets across countries. Sounds gimmicky but it's actually not. The framing really does differ. Eye-opening tbh.
Also, there's a Q&A thing where you can ask "why does this matter" on any story. Used it a lot by day 4-5. Hit or miss but when it works it's really good.
By day 7 my daily news time was down to like 10-12 mins. Actually felt more informed though.
Tbh easily the best AI news app I've come across.
Here is the link if anyone wanna try it!!
