Top Pcmac Reviews

Links are like the Blob!! Take over everything!

By Carolyn Inkwell (Pcmac user)

I love the this app app for the most part, but they started this new practice of placing links to other news stories throughout every piece they post. I don’t mind having helpful links to additional information, but this is ridiculous. It is nothing but clickbait! I find it impossible to scroll through a story to read it on my phone without accidentally clicking on other stories at least 5 times throughout the piece. It’s so aggravating that I sometimes leave this app to read a similar news piece in Politico instead. Honestly, its a virtual minefield! I’m either accidentally clicking on the ads or the links to other stories. I’ve found that the only way to get through a new piece is to gently touch the very right edge and totally avoid the underlined text, which is very interruptive to one’s comprehension when reading. I don’t mind a link or two, but when you review your analytics, I’m sure you note that those clicked upon stories were only viewed for two seconds. Google algorithms don’t just count clicks; they count times viewed too. Please stop this annoying practice of adding links to nearly every line. It’s really trashy.
Great app, but constant freezes and crashes

By Fyodor314 (Pcmac user)

The app’s design and news coverage are great! However, it freezes and then crashes on my devices extremely often. This still happens, even though I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the entire app multiple times. It’s particularly annoying when it makes it impossible to read certain articles or watch certain videos. As an iOS developer myself, I’d bet money that the ad service this app is using (or the way it’s integrated) is to blame. It seems like when certain ads are loading, they tie up the main thread, so that the UI stops getting updated. The developers could probably address this problem by reconfiguring the ads to load on a background thread. If that doesn’t solve it, they may need to switch to a different ad provider or service altogether. Once again, I’m very happy with the app’s design and news quality—just disappointed that the app crashes so frequently. It’s been this way for years, and I keep hoping it will improve, but so far I’ve been disappointed.
Constantly opening links and ads

By Qweerty1 (Pcmac user)

I’ve used this app for years but I’m deleting it over a recent dip in usability. I can’t read the articles anymore because the links included in them open if I tap my screen even slightly near them, it is constantly opening new tabs, ads, or sending me to other articles when I’m just trying to read the one I’m currently on. I haven’t been able to make it to the bottom of an article in weeks because I inevitably give up in frustration. Normally links in an app require you to tap and let go and then they will open. If you tap and then hold your finger and move it down, most reading/news apps seem to realize that is the movement required to scroll and don’t open links. this app doesn’t work this way anymore. Sometimes there are so many links there is nowhere for me to safely tap to scroll down. Since this is a recent change I’m assuming this is to increase ad revenue. I don’t mind ads but if I’m being forced away from what I’m reading I’ll get my news elsewhere. On a separate note: I’ll also get notifications for articles, open them, and be taken to an article unrelated to the notification. A lot of times I can’t even find the article I wanted to read initially.
To the developers of the app

By Bms270 (Pcmac user)

Please understand the difference between UIControlEventTouchDown and UIControlEventTouchUpInside. You need to stop using the former. It drives people crazy when they are scrolling while reading. UIControlEventTouchDown is triggering the navigation as soon as a finger is placed on a text/ad. This leads to unwanted navigation away from an article while scrolling. This is so ridiculous. Any junior dev should know this and avoid using it for links. I end up going to multiple places at least 10 times while reading one single news article. This has been happening in this app app as long as I remember. If you are doing this intentionally to get more clicks, then shame on you on your bad practice. This is sacrificing user experience to mislead the advertisers. 2nd problem, the ad videos should only play once for a given reader. I end up having to watch the same ridiculous video ad 10 times a day for a month. Maybe you are not getting more diverse advertisers due to the bad practice mentioned above? Think about it. I hope someone reads this. I really like to know your rationale on the first issue above that you persistently are doing and not changing it?
