Ruined
I have plenty of news apps but this one is by far the most blatant, and sad whe it come to adds. They turned liberal and then become greedy. It’s laughable.
Still use it
It’s free so it leads to subscription articles and I can’t read most of them. They manage to include enough free articles to keep me coming back. Drudge is a great headline writer and that is what I’m most interested in just to see if anything gets my attention for further research. Once again it is free.
Pop ups & 'Dead' Links
This last update with the pop up ad when you click and have to search for a minuscule 'close' button stinks. And at least half the time the headline is linked to a subscription-required site. I've noticed I come here less and less
No Dark mode!
Why isn’t there a dark mode for this app? At night, this app lights up the room too much !
New version is off the chain
New version is off the chain
worst app doesn’t deserve one star
this has become the worst app I’ve ever had. there is an advertisement on every single link that you go to.You can’t get rid of the links. It sucks. Don’t download it post reviews. It’s the worst app. i am out and removing the app.
Gives me the news I want
The title says it all. Don't see any adds blocking me from using the app.
I HATE VERSION 8
Too small on iPhone when you first load the app. When you click on a story you get a giant full screen ad with a microscopic close button in the upper right. You now HAVE to click on the columns icon to read anything other than the top featured stories, but half the screen is covered by an ad. Once you read the article while in columns view and click back to the app it refreshes to the column view but then goes back to the tiny text version of the homepage. Every. Time. This is high school level interface design.
Crashes often.
Downloaded new ap 10/2019. This ap is not very stable. But that’s ok because Drudge appears to be giving left wing writers more say lately and the crashes help me budget my time away from Drudge’s biased LW curating.
Still the best way to read Drudge
This new version loads a lot faster and seems a lot easier to use. I absolutely love the way to three column and single column views act as separate tabs so it's easy to load a news article in one and quickly refer back to Drudge in another.
App sucks
Pop up ad all the time make it unusable love the content hat the app
Perfect, same as on PC
Love it, I can read drudge better than on my PC. It also has tools. Enjoy!
Flakey and quits on iPad
Needs three goes to open. Just seems to be a way of getting ads into your face
Thanks but...
Appreciate the reverse back to the menu bar at the bottom instead of that circle floating menu of death. Couple problems though... Only desktop version is loading for me and still no optimization for iPhone 6.
Great
Lots of options and category choices...after a week or so it hasn't once crashed on a 4s.
Major downgrade
Difficult to manage as the full site on a mobile platform, and the ads are even worse to close. If I wanted to deal with it like this, I could just use a browser. Don’t bother downloading at this time, even one star is too kind. Better to just use the website and make an app yourself pointing to it.
Should be 5stars....
I would give this 5 stars but the app crashes when I try to tweet a story from the app. Fix that & it's 5 stars! Much thanks to Matt Drudge & team for becoming my primary news source.
Not mobile friendly
This app simply opens a web page and allows you to follow up by resizing width to columns. Not much "app" designed to make easy navigation possible.
Needs work, much work, but great WHEN it does work
On iPhone it works for the most part but a lot of links end up having to be opened in Safari. On the iPad Air, with home wifi connection or 4g, it takes forever to load the home page, if at all. Most links then also have the same problem, unless you again open them in safari.
true media news
let me say that the drudge report application is a fantastic source of information. everyone should get it. it will wake you up to the real truth and provide non filtered or biased daily news. it's the greatest collection and collaboration of news media from around the world. well done drudge keep providing us with reputable sources of information. thank you
I can’t think of a worse app
This is the poster child for a bad user experience, and should be taught in every design program for what not to do.
Good and getting better
This app started out quite poor, but the last few updates have made it really good. The push sirens are good to have. I know I'm never missing out on any breaking news!
New update stinks
I love Drudge but the last update is screwy. Used to be able to scroll the stories but now you have to expand it and search. It's annoying
World's Best News Site, but...
...but, this app is constantly crashing, along with linked pages, to the point where after re-loading 3 or 4 times I just shut it off. Please make this app for stable. It is a resource we simply cannot be without!
Awesome
The gov. Needs accountability !
From Gold to Hot Garbage
The app used to be amazing but now it’s hot garbage. It went from being primarily about serving news to now being consumed with serving full screen ads you have to click through to close before accessing any of the news.
Well done
Clean, fast, with an excellent choice of options.
So so
Only the desktop version is loading on my IPhone 6. Also, the "breaking" little red icon won't go away and just keep counting up with every breaking article. And I am unable to open any and all links. This is happening on my iPhone 6 only.
Good enough
A lot of information, but the app lags, very frustrating
5 star
Best news avaliable!
Drudge is just Advertising Now
Every article that isn’t some silly cultural garbage is behind a paywall
Can't share or copy link
I love the app, use it everyday, but since the last update I can't share article, copy link, send by mail, thru the app. Maybe I'm missing something, or idk. When you do huge change like that, maybe do a little 'tutorial' showing where are new options. Bc now I'm lost.
Thankyou
The TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE !
Click and wait
None of the stories are readable unless you download the app the story is on. NYT, Wall Street….. it used to be good but now it’s just headlines and no substance. Look for other news generators that actually allow you to read the story
Do not update to 4.0
This use to be a great site to get news from, very clean easy to navagation. After the last up date the headlines are too small too be seen comfortably.
Great app, great news.
Great app, great news.
It looks like a kindergartner designed this app
The developers of this app have consistently botched the design. You’d think after x major versions, it would finally look and perform well. They basically embedded a web view - what’s the point of the app?
Love drudge, hate his app
I love the drudge report. Best news site online. I do however wish this app would stop sending me to the App Store. I don't even need to be touching the screen to activate the link.
Awesome app
Works great.
Cringe experience
The mobil app is horrible now. Ive moved on to other apps. The ad experience is cringe. I have to zoom in to see what im clicking on then have to zoom out ti find microscopic x to close. The mobil button is a joke.
Ugly and buggy
The font used to display the stories, which is a collection of stories being generated by other sources (just another aggregate app) is ugly and when viewing the stories, the pseudo web browser refreshes the story so often it makes it hard to read.
