I really like the concept of this app, can you explain how the app determines whether an article is good or bad news?

The app uses algorithms of sentiment analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiment_analysis All news classify by their positive/negative features. The set of features was created with the help of deep learning technique. A lot of news sources for different languages were analyzed to automatically extract the typical "good" or "bad" patterns for classification.
