Third-Party Apps Using AllSides Media Bias Ratings
In addition to the AllSides mobile app, a number of app and extension providers have incorporated AllSides into their products. Below are some we recommend. Send us an email if you spot another app using our services.
24U Open-Source "Help Ukraine" Script
Our Russia-Ukraine news feed has been converted into an open-source script that anyone can add to their website.
This was done by our friends at 24USoftware with the explicit objective of getting news to the Russian people and past the Russian government’s news "blockade". If their website is blocked by the Russian government, it will display our balanced Ukraine news feed instead. The feed is available in both English and Ukrainian.
View an example of how our open-source script of the balanced Russia-Ukraine news feed displays on a blocked website, and read a write-up of the project here.
