This is stunning. How do you conduct a search for a product or category? ### 2/5 — Okay app, but... *2021-01-14, version 1.2.1* Com’on now, how many reviews are needed to say “make app searchable” does it take? Also would be much better if you could tag an item (like #iPad) and ask for a notification when it falls below a set price point. ### 4/5 — Good alternative to website *2020-10-17, version 1.2.1* Good to quickly look through some deals. Hate the icon colors, though. Pink and maroon? 🤮 ### 2/5 — App is good... but *2020-08-03* I’ve been a huge fan of 9to5Toys but lately these reviewers are getting desperate for readers/users. The review talks about a specific deal but majority of the time the pictures have nothing to do with the item on sale. You have to click the review and read the whole thing to finally realize what is actually on sale. Another is there wording, when your scrolling thru the list of deals they make you think it’s that price but it’s not, once you click the list and read the whole review/deal. Come on be honest and just put the truth. Picture the actual item on sale and stop looking so desperate. ### 3/5 — Icone *2020-03-12, version 1.2.1* Free ### 3/5 — Still needs a search feature *2019-12-15, version 1.2.1* The title says it all it needs a search feature in this app. Fix it already. ### 2/5 — Needs a lot more features *2019-11-25, version 1.2* It’s really just a way for them to send you a daily pester ### 3/5 — Crash too often *2019-11-14, version 1.2* Great contents, but the App just crashes to frequently. ### 3/5 — App crashes when scrolling fast *2019-11-11, version 1.2* on my 11 pro max. ### 4/5 — Crashing *2019-11-08* App is crashing aftet a minute of use or so. Please fix it ### 2/5 — Crashing often after iOS 13 *2019-10-03* Crashes while scrolling on iPhone. In the iPad app, if you open the app and it loads with newer stories above the left side view pane and you tap the top of the pane to auto scroll to the top, it crashes the app basically every time ### 3/5 — Indian news *2019-09-30* Please share also india apple news offer and other things ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2025-08-12* I just noticed that this app hasn’t been updated in five years, so it might not be worth the to review. I’m thinking Apple might remove it soon, due to lack of updates. It seems like every link I select opens an article that refers to a completely unrelated item. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2024-04-17, version 1.2.1* Every other link you tap on opens some other random link 🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-09-28, version 1.2.1* Needs an update for iOS 17. Crashes when using Haptic Touch 🙄 ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-04-28, version 1.2.1* And the developers won’t do anything about it ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-04-27, version 1.2.1* App not loading ### 1/5 — Poor is the kind Word for this app /??? *2022-01-31, version 1.2.1* Poor at its best ### 1/5 — Somewhat glitchy for payed app *2020-06-07, version 1.2.1* Payed app etc. Glitchy four ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing iOS 13 *2019-11-19, version 1.2* I follow 9 to 5 on Safari, but this app is pretty worthless. It crashes my iPad continuously and I just deleted app and went back to web-based. ### 1/5 — Very lacking *2019-06-24, version 1.1.1* The notifications do not open to the sorry that they reference. It simply opens the app. You’ll never find the story that you tapped on unless the notification is very new. To make matters worse, there’s no search feature. So you definitely can’t find the story that you tapped on. ### 1/5 — Not worth even looking... *2019-05-04* I downloaded this app because of there was a miscoded url to a product of interest that surfaced in a 925 blog post. The app lets you change the app icon, but no search, no filter...want details it launches a web site, want to purchase - fo to the website...one of the lamest apps out there. The other reason I was hopeful for this app is because of SSO. The store engine gets rebranded for other sites, however account credentials are centralized. So if you have an account for 925, for example, then you at another website that uses the same store engine - you have to figure out to use your 925 credentials because it is all one set of credentials regardless of the partner website. Change you credentials, now you just messed up the profile for the previous location. Hot mess. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great deal finding app *2023-12-04, version 1.2.1* Recommended!!! ### 5/5 — 9to5 Mac best news *2022-04-19* This is my one stop shop for Mac news.
