Http errors-very annoying

I've used this app for years with no problems but over the past week or so when you click on a link you get a message of "An error occurred: too many http redirects." This renders the app pointless. Is this their way of trying to encourage people to pay for the app? If so, just delete the free app-it would save the time and frustration you're giving to anyone using this app.

Headlines not opening

For the past several days headlines won't open. Instead a blank screen appears with an error message saying too many http redirects.

Keeps crashing

I struggled with this app for several days before giving up on it. The layout is awful, you have to click an article twice to open it (the first click gives me options to share, but why would I want to do that *before* I've read it?) Crashes after reading only a few articles. It's easier to just use the site in a browser rather than in the app.

Awful

Why do I have to tap twice to open an article? Don't like the black background , not visually appealing anymore like the earlier mobile site

Useless

There's a HUGE hideous banner ad which takes up about an inch of the screen on an iPad and the app refuses to accept login details. Why does this exist?

Funny

Funny website but it has slowly gotten way too liberal. A satirical website should be down the middle, not being a Bill Mahre wannabe

Update crashes

New update keeps crasjing

Fark causes head tumor

When Fark is all black and the ads are bright white my eyes are unable to properly adjust while reading and I get an unworldly headache.

My eyes!

Love Fark! This app is great except it's killing my eyes. Please please change the contrast.

Better than the official app, but still lacking

Tab nav is better than other Fark apps, but only font control is on headlines. I mean, if you need larger headline, doesn't it seem likely you'd need larger body text too?

Ultimately, I still prefer Farking in a tabbed browser.
