Ugly. Too small font.
The font size is sooooo small and there’s no option to change it. And it links to weird pages. It’s really cumbersome to use. Y’all should just try again and scrap this junk. BYW I am a paying customer
Great update
This app is now really easy to navigate and a lot more pleasing to the eye. I’ve never had problems with it but now it’s not basic and really stands out. Great content. Really interesting. Thanks
I took a chance, so should you.
I recently discovered their website & love it.
Decided to take a chance on this app due to the most recent review being positive.
Absolutely worth it!
Pages and especially images look fantastic on my phone.
There are two main sections, Latest or Most Read.
There are also several categories like Artifacts, Ancient Places, Unsolved, and more including one for Opinions.
It seems to me there are more articles available through the app, although that may just be due to how easy it is to browse compared to the website.
Previous 1 & 2 Star reviews had complained about excessive Ads.
The only Ads I have seen is a half inch tall static banner across the bottom of my screen.

Great app so far
Downloaded app in may of 2020 - obviously in spite of all the pretty negative reviews and honestly can’t understand where they all came from. I have an iphone 11, and had this before a major update was dloaded and app has worked perfectly and seamlessly throughout. Not sure if these are older fixed issues or some other angle is being put forth - but I would personally highly recommend this and have. Articles are wide-ranging and interesting, can’t agree with comments that these are on an eighth grade level either. At any rate, just my opinion but I’m very pleased overall.

Unusable
As others have mentioned, the articles are written at the middle school level and completely overlaid with advertisements. To the point where is nearly impossible to scroll down a single page before a redirect takes place. The app is simply a tool for click-bait.
VERY out of date app
The app has not been updated in two years and it shows.
Trash
After I tapped on a story, notification about it setting cookies came up. I could not tap that I agree because an ad quickly came and overlapped preventing me from doing so. It tried collapsing the app, then bringing it up, no difference. Next, I deleted, then reinstalled the app. Worse yet, the entire screen went black after opening the app. After I collapsed the app, I deleted it. I don’t know whether you app is incompatible with the latest iOS or has been affected by malware or both; but, it has ceased to be usable. I will try your website, instead.

Zero stars 12-21-18
I read the reviews and installed anyway thinking maybe they addressed reported issues- nope, needs a Zero star rating!
Uninstalled after ten minutes, popup mini-video kept opening to a black, blank screen that played with nothing on it and could not even read one article...
goodbye and good riddance

Ancient Origins Crashes
Ancient Origins crashes on my iPad. Please fix. I am running IOS 12.1. Thanks.
Won’t even load
So excited for this app but sadly it won’t load at all. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Very disappointed
Help
I downloaded the app and it shows the front page. That’s it! No options to do anything, look at articles, nothing. Is the app disabled at this point?
Bug Fix, Please?
Content from AO is always wonderful, application itself is not well-developed. I used to read articles on the app almost daily before it started freezing up on me and would never load. I kept the app hoping for bug fixes, but finally had to delete it today after a year of not being able to use it.
What happened?
I got the newsfeed for several years and looked forward every Tuesday to enjoying articles. Then one day the newsfeed stopped working. I have since tried to resubscribe and also to subscribe under different email accounts. But nothing works. So got the app for iPad and also for iPhone. When I launch it, the splash screen comes up and then either freezes or crashes???
This was a really good source for archeology news. Too bad.

Why?
Doesn’t work.
Won’t go past title screen
Stays on the title screen. Too bad it’s a good website
Still doesnt work
I downloaded this ap over a year ago and couldnt get past the home screen. No menu, no support, just freezes. I thought wth must be better by now.. and still doesnt work. The articles on Ancient Origins are fantastic it is very unfortunate that their tech support or web developer doesnt care. Dont waste your time on this ap.

Downloaded App & It Does Absolutely Nothing

App
Live the content of your site. Deleted the app today. Ad for spectrum pops up immediately whenever I try to read an article.
Please fix.
Please fix.
Great potential
This app has Wonderful potential, but simply does not work. It won’t load past the opening screen, and previous versions have been glitchy, slow, and randomly redirect to spam. This is such a waste on what could really be a great app if someone cared enough to make it work properly.
