White House App Hits No. 1 in News and Cracks App Store Top 20 as Americans Tune Out Fake News

The White House

September 23, 2026

As of September 22, 2026, the official White House mobile app reached No. 1 in the News category on the App Store and climbed into the Top 20 among all apps. The app previously hit No. 1 in News and, at launch, soared as high as No. 4 across the entire App Store. More and more Americans are gravitating to the app because they want the news straight from the source, not filtered through networks that have spent years distorting the record of President Donald J. Trump.

That demand is rising as legacy networks fall in line behind CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, outlets whose White House credentials were pulled after a long record of false reporting. Other networks have now withheld pool coverage in solidarity. The American people are not waiting on those cameras; they are going straight to the Presidency.

Americans are choosing the source over the spin.

Launched in March 2026, the official White House app carries a 4.9 out of 5 average rating on the App store and more than two million downloads across the App Store and Google Play. It has now reclaimed the No. 1 News ranking in the country and broken into the overall Top 20. That is proof the American people want unfiltered access to the Presidency.

With the official White House app, Americans can:

Get news direct from the source: policy initiatives, key victories, and major developments with no filter and no spin, plus official social feeds, photos, and videos in one place.
