• (2022-11-22) Shannon Knight: LEANED LEFT!!! THEN STOPPED WORKING- GEEZE EVERYTHING IS LIBERAL ON CHROME EXTENSIONS!
• (2021-09-01) Stacia Harger: Loved it when it worked. Has stopped working recently and no answer from developer.
• (2020-11-10) Little Dog: It's a neat extension at most. Don't take it seriously or you're gonna shove yourself into a bubble very quickly.
• (2019-10-31) That Guy: You know its loaded because they rate the average news agency as being in the middle.
• (2017-04-14) Camron Watlington (Cam): It doesn't work. My news feed language is set to English, and I am surfing on Chrome, yet I am still being told my data cannot be accessed. The application is a good idea, but it obviously needs more work.
• (2017-04-13) Liza Bender: Very cool idea, good job doing what you've done. Improvements and suggestions: 1. where am i in the data set, compared to my friends? 2. not sure what the "confidence" level is meant to represent... it's not explained anywhere that I could find. 3. the data pages should have some explainers of the data/graphs being shown... what you have is not enough. 4. seems some of the FB pages are not categorized properly... and if you think they are then an explainer of how pages are judged would be helpful. thanks for creating what you have o far and I encourage lots of improvements. Cheers!
• (2017-04-11) James Drayton-Losotov: Really cool idea, but unfortunately very underdeveloped so far. The biggest problem is that it only takes account of very well known news sources and political figures, and almost only US ones. If most of your friends aren't from the US, there's little point using this app. It's also very crude in the way it categorizes things on the left/right spectrum. Apparently The Onion is as far-left as possible and Bernie Sanders is no more left-wing than Obama. Inexplicably, alternative medicine/fake science sites like Natural News are classified as right-wing. It's also a bit misleading that mainstream, moderately liberal sources like CNN, Time, the Washington Post and the New York Times are classified as far to the left as they are. Where, then, would one put democratic socialism, let alone full-on communism?
• (2017-04-10) Lorrie Schu: John Stossel brought this app to my attention. I've always tried to keep my friends balanced. I want to hear both sides...usually the truth is somewhere in the middle lol. I'm almost completely even with my friends, so awesome!
• (2017-03-08) Gail Cammero Reilly: While confident there is a margin for error, I found this to be more accurate than not - I like the way it can keep a user up to speed on their own bias. Thanks! Great extension.
• (2016-12-21) Xander: i like the idea but id like to assign values myself. most on my friends are far more left than liberal and theres no reflection of that here also some pages are miss labeled
• (2016-12-07) Brett Jelinek: I see it shows The Free Thought Project and Natural News as red/conservative, while it lists Washington Post, New York Times, The Onion, CNN, Time, and more as dark blue/very liberal. In fact, someone who only likes The Onion will be on the very far left. Someone who only likes Time and CNN will be almost right next to them. And then it also counts all kinds of fake news sites like Collective Evolution, which shouldn't be factored in at all. This is an interesting tool, but the way they categorize the websites is wrong and, without a careful read of the results, will give you a very skewed perception. Until they fix thix, this tool is not simply defective, it's deceptive.
• (2016-12-06) Works fast! Impressed.
• (2016-12-03) Devon B: Easy to install, no junkware, just informative and insightful graphics that make understanding your social structures so much easier. Highly reccomend (Also i'm uninstalling this when I'm done to be safe)
• (2016-12-03) Steve Dean: super insightful and beautifully rendered
• (2016-12-02) Raj Vir: Fantastic app. Really surprised at how insightful it was into my friends.
• (2016-12-02) Mark Browne: Wow - This shows that I need to get out more!
