The Daily Caller User Reviews

Top reviews

Very buggy, and the editors of the content are non-existent

1. Selecting an article often takes one to the opening paragraph, which is then followed by a “read on” link. Selecting that “read on” link takes one to the opening paragraph followed by a “read on” link. Selecting that “read on” link takes one to the opening paragraph followed by a “read on” link . . .

2. Scrolling through the articles can trigger a violent loading of more articles, “jumping” the reference point past the article to which one scrolled.

3. Once in the articles editing is atrocious. Slang, fragments, and cliches abound. Wrong word choice is rampant (e.g., “he through a Molotov cocktail,” when threw would be correct)

I am generally of a conservative bent, and I unfortunately find this app so bad as to be distracting.

I’ve had enough and am moving on....

I’ve been a Daily Caller fan for years. This latest updates is cause for uninstalling and moving on. So many ads many of which are forced redirects to game app download pages and video ads with audio. It’s ridiculous that I could click on an article and immediately be redirected to a video advertisement with audio. So annoying!

Stick to the website.

The loading and linking in this app are horrible. Better to just go to the website so you’re not wasting time looking at old story placeholders while it attempts to load. The Read More links are really just Read The Same Thing Again links. Deleting the app.

It was great until...

The news items are great and not just a reiteration of the same contrite storyline. If I could rate them outside of the app I would give them 5 stars. However, over the past couple of months I had to report glitches through the online email address because I couldn’t find a way through the app. First, the search function wasn’t functioning. It would time out. Then state File Unable To Load. Server Error. I never received an automatic reply email. I suppose they received many emails because the problem was resolved. Second, is the same complaint as many others have written about. You get a couple of sentences and it says Read More. You tap on it and it brings you to another page with the exact same thing. Lastly, I’m don’t like all of the advertising either as so many others have written in their reviews. I noticed that the ads became very intrusive once The Daily Caller News Foundation began to a subscription based service. I feel like it’s a punishment to those of us who have been reading their articles since Tucker Carlson days and helped make them popular. I don’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. I understand that they need to make money but the amount of ads are obnoxious. It’s for all of these reasons why I gave the app a one star rating.

Aggressive Advertising

I understand the need to make a profit. The latest iteration of this app has aggressive pop-ups that do not allow you to exit even after the pop-up has run in order to get to the story. The only option left in several cases is to just exit the app and go to a different website or use a different app

New ads are terrible

I love the daily caller content but the new full screen 30 second video ads with no exit and loud sound are terrible.

If the next update doesn’t change them to something a bit less loud and intrusive, I’ll go back to a web browser with an ad blocker.

I don’t mind ads that are in-line and seamless but these are obnoxious.

Despise the video takeovers

I would love this sight if it didn’t kick on horrifying video ads that blast loud music and sometimes I can’t even find a way to x them out. Infuriating. LOVE THE CONTENT. Usually don’t have the stomach to open the app. Also, as I scroll down, the app will suddenly jump several articles and I have a hard time finding my place again. I even looked to see if there was a purchase app that wouldn’t torment me by taking my phone over with loud ads. Didn’t find one.

Important content - Terrible App

For such an important opinion source the App format is terrible. Chopping headlines to the point that you have no idea what the article is about to make room for an image? The app jumps and you lose you place when the ads reload? I’m sure you paid dearly to create this app. You could have done better with a free template. Professional content with Amateur presentation.

Get rid of these Loud Popup Adds

Love the site and the former app. Please get rid of your new popup adds. If you want to embed them in your news feeds, that’s fine. Just not popups which contain the whole screen for 5 seconds. I end up closing the app and going somewhere else for my news rather than wait. I will not use the app in public because I don’t want a loud video to begin playing.

Love the app: hate the video ads

I spent an hour plus on this app every morning, but now I am removing it because of the ads that blast audio at 4am while the rest of the family is asleep. Auto play ads with sound are a dealbreaker for me full stop.

Such a shame since the Gateway Pundit can’t seem to proofread their articles.
