About Posted! – List Pro & Anti Gun

I downloaded Posted! because I was tired of getting my news on gun laws from social media echo chambers. For a buck, I figured it was worth a shot to see if it could offer something more structured. What I found was an app that genuinely tries to present both sides of a heated issue without pushing an agenda, which is rarer than you’d think.

Features & Highlights

The core of this app is its database. I was able to look up my own state’s concealed carry laws in under a minute, and it broke down the specifics in a way that was actually understandable, not just legal jargon. The “Both Sides” section for each major topic is its best feature. For example, when I looked up “red flag laws,” it had well-sourced summaries from major pro-gun and gun control organizations right next to each other. I didn’t have to hop between five different biased websites. The forums are surprisingly active. I saw real debates happening about recent court rulings, not just people yelling at each other. I also rely on the alerts; it notified me about a local ordinance change before my local news did.

User Experience

The first thing I noticed was how simple the layout is. It’s basically a menu with clear options: Laws, Discussions, Saved Items. I never got lost. Searching is fast, but I actually enjoyed just picking a state and scrolling through its laws to see the landscape. One evening, I was having a debate with a friend about magazine capacity limits. I pulled out my phone, found our state’s law in Posted!, and we read the opposing viewpoints together right there. It turned a heated argument into a more informed conversation. The app feels utilitarian—it’s not flashy—but that works in its favor. It gets you to the information without fuss.

Pricing

It’s a one-time purchase of $0.99 with no subscriptions or in-app purchases. For less than the price of a coffee, you get full access to the law library, forums, and alerts. Given the depth of information and the fact it’s updated regularly, I’d say it’s absolutely worth it if this topic matters to you. It’s cheaper and more focused than any magazine subscription or paid news site covering the same beat.

Updates & Support

I’ve had the app for about four months, and I’ve seen three updates. One was a bug fix, but the other two added new state law summaries and refreshed some of the “Both Sides” content with recent articles. That tells me the developer is actively maintaining it. I had one question about how bookmarking worked, emailed support through the app, and got a helpful, plain-English reply within 24 hours. It’s clearly a small operation, but they’re responsive.

Security & Privacy

I downloaded it directly from the official Apple App Store. The app doesn’t have any ads, which is a huge plus and reduces tracking concerns. Their privacy policy is straightforward: they collect basic account info (email for your login) and your forum posts. They state they don’t sell your data. Since the forums are public, I’m careful not to post anything personally identifying there, but the app itself feels minimal and clean from a data-harvesting perspective.
