  • Videos closing unexpectedly

    Since the last update, videos will just crash the app and close it unexpectedly in the middle of the video. Has happened with many different videos. I just wanted to let you know!
  • Great content, terrible app

    The content is fantastic, but betrayed by an app that is incredibly laggy in nearly ever interaction point. It’s slow to register touches, taps or drags and often even slower in displaying the content as the app loads. This leads to often tapping on something then waiting a few seconds for the app to register the tap, only for the app to finish loading content you weren’t aware it was still struggling with, then the app registering your tap on the content that should have been there when you tapped a few seconds ago, not what you actually tapped on. Then it opens something you didn’t mean to open, and the same lag makes it take forever for the app to take you back to the main screen so you can start over.

    The app looks good but is horrible when it comes to the basic functions of being an app and letting people actually use it and view content. It was better when the dev nest was in charge.

  • Great content, appalling app

    I’ve been reading BSS for over a decade and will likely continue to do so in some capacity, but I find myself consuming less content than I used to because the app is so bad.
    Takes a while to load, constantly freezes and crashes, restarts every time I leave the app instead of taking you back to where you were... just dreadful function in every way an app can be dreadful.
    I hope it gets fixed as I don’t want my viewership of barstool platforms to decrease because of app functionality.

  • Super slow

    I am a huge Barstool fan and have been using their app for a long time. Recently in the past 2 months the app has continually got more and more slower. Deleting app and reinstalling does not work. Clearing cache does not work. Would love to see fixed soon.

  • What more funny?

    One or five stars? I’m thinking 1 for the lulz.
  • Ads that auto-open App Store ruin this app

    The recent addition of ads that automatically open your App Store to a dating app or family planning app’s page have rendered this app unusable. If you return from the App Store to Barstool’s app and continue scrolling on a blog, it will open the App Store again almost instantaneously. I had like 4 of these pop ups in about 30 seconds. I understand ads and page clicks are the money maker in the content game but maybe don’t allow these trash ads to ruin your user’s experience.

  • Horrible Audio Issues

    This is the ONLY app I’ve ever experienced that reduces your device volume when active in the app. If you’re listening to music and reading the app, be prepared for the volume on your tunes to reduce by around 40-50%. Likely to do with the banner ads that now produce noise, but completely unacceptable from an mobile application. Either this is an egregious miss by their development/QA team, or a deliberate and known defect with producing audible ads - either way, this is a joke and shouldn’t have made its way to production.... PLEASE FIX

  • Quality App, HOWEVER

    I really hope the team fixes the audio issue in the app. When listening to a podcast, music, or any other kind of audio, the sound level just gets lowered inexplicably by about 50%. I think it’s got something to do with the banner ads that show up and stay at the bottom of the app. Hope this can get fixed, because I want to be able to listen to Barstool podcasts in my Podcasts app while also reading Barstool blogs. Otherwise a great app; it gets better with every update
