Ever wish you could spot trustworthy news without endless fact-checking?

By giving you quick, transparent ratings right next to your search and social media results, this app takes the guesswork out of deciding what to believe online. Whether you’re double-checking a headline or just curious about how reliable a source is, NewsGuard – News Trust Ratings, built by NewsGuard Technologies, brings clarity to your browsing experience.

App Features

  • Easy-to-Read Ratings
    Look out for color-coded trust labels and scores (from 0 to 100) that pop up next to news links as you browse. One glance, and you’ll know if a news site scores high on credibility—or if it’s wise to be cautious.

  • Detailed “Nutrition Labels”
    Wondering why a site got its rating? Tap into in-depth Nutrition Label reports. These give you the lowdown on who runs the site, where its money comes from, its track record, and how transparent and responsible its reporting is.

  • Real Journalists, Real Reviews
    No bots here—each rating comes from experienced journalists who check sites against nine journalistic standards, keeping things thorough and unbiased.

  • Works Where You Are
    NewsGuard’s ratings show up next to links on your favorite search engines and social media, so you get context right where you need it.

  • Smart Warnings
    Get notified when you’re about to visit a site with a low trust score. The app uses the Accessibility API (you’ll need to enable it manually) to give these alerts as you browse. You can turn off the service anytime in your settings.

  • For Personal Use Only
    NewsGuard – News Trust Ratings is made for everyday folks curious about their news—not for commercial or research purposes.

  • Runs Smoothly on BlueStacks
