Just a web wrapper filled with ads
Not even a native app. Riddled with ads. Content also seemed less cute and hopeful than I remember. Save yourself the time and just check it out on a web browser with ad blocker.
Ads ads ads ads ads ads
Memes - great. Occasional warm fuzzies - nice, other half - junk. New constant pop up ads - unusable app - deleted.
Using less and less due to pop up videos
I find myself using this app less and less due to video overlays popping up. App freezing as well with iOS 26.2 on a 17 pro
Trash Panda
This previously fun app has recently become utter garbage. I used to read at least 2-3 BP stories each night before bed. It was a sweet way to unwind. I consciously chose BP over Facebook because watching videos about ‘Puppies Learning How to Do Stairs’ was more relaxing than the heartless mindrot at FB. Additionally I’d tap in whenever I was waiting in line, or just bored, like the App title. I even read some of the revenue producing stories endorsing products. And even bought some. There were sometimes annoying ads. And occasionally I had to close the App due to a long ad.
But now it is literally inaccessible due to the constant ads and pop-ups.
And they have ads/news from sponsors that look just like BP Posts. I resent being tricked. I lived with it for a short while. But tonight it forced me to play a stupid game to proceed. I’m deleting and choosing something else. 👎

Used to be a fan, now unusable!
I’ve been a daily user of bored panda for years, lately more and more ads creeping in to the point full page adds pop up every 2 seconds or everytime you put your finger on the screen to scroll down the page! If I see ONE more BERTAZZONI kitchen add I’m reporting them to flipping trading standards for harassment! Such a shame. Bored panda has now becoming annoying waste of time panda 👎👎👎👎

Painful
Used to be a fun site and app to visit but now bloated with ad interruptions. Can’t even read an article without ads popping up constantly. Had to delete.
Horrible
So many adds popping up you can’t get through an article
Not worth the FRUSTRATION
The format has so many bugs, crashes and pop up adds that make this app unusable. The web interface is only slightly usable, but not worth it.
Love this app, but…
The ads on this app are seriously out of control. Sometimes as many as 3 pop up at the same time and you have to close them out, and this happens literally every 2-3 seconds. If I were able to get past the ads, I could probably give it 5 stars but unfortunately, their advertising is more important to them than their content so that is what I’ll focus my review on.

Ads are overbearing!
You can’t even read 3 lines of an article without an Ad popping up no less than 17 times. Even if you try closing it out, the ad reopens.
The ad is now useless which is disappointing as I used to scroll through this when I had time to waste.
Time to delete the app and find something better and more user friendly!

Used to love it, but now the ads are overwhelming.
I love Bored Panda, and now I cannot use the app at all. The ads are overwhelming and will not go away. No matter if I watch them or not, they keep popping up and I cannot read the articles. I wish they would fix this!
Update to old version
Why did you change your application? The old version of this application was very useful and enjoyable. Once upon a time, I was here all day, but now I don’t want to open up the application. It’s really “ bored “
Poorly designed app
Just as useless as their web page. Ads every five seconds, articles constantly refreshing to the top of the page before getting through 1/4 of it, overall just a very annoying app to scroll through
Well, that was the quickest app I’ve ever deleted
Couldn’t scroll 5 seconds without an ad popping up, which is in full screen, you can’t close, and have to suffer through to its end. Same thing with the articles too. Kept closing and reopening the app thinking something was wrong. Nope! App is cluttered with ads that make reading anything as unenjoyable as possible as to force you into a subscription to avoid such nonsense. Terrible concept and horrible app.

Crashes all the time
Absolutely dreadful and frustrating. Every time I open an article to read it crashes after seconds. The website version is no better. This used to be fantastic but there are so many videos embedded into each page that it crashes as it can’t cope.
Disappointed
I downloaded bored panda app as I enjoy artificial I read via Facebook…. But the app crashes halfway through reading article all the time …please fix
Dark mode needs removal from paywall on premium.
I used to read this article daily about a mouse village and I could switch my dark mode on with my desktop and tablet through its settings since it was made available. I have read this article to my dog and teddy bear daily since 2019 when it was still light mode. Then they added a dark mode switch on google and I used that. Then the worst happened last year. They paywalled dark mode and used stripe gave no other options for payment. Dark mode should always be free. I find having to pay for dark mode pretty lame. I’m not gonna lie I have sensitive eyes and I have dark mode on practically everything. I find that I’ve been using the site before you had to pay for this was wonderful. Whenever you can release dark mode from its pay wall shackles it would be awesome. You should understand that some people have severe sensitivity to light mode and have a hard time with it. There’s plenty of people like me who have complained about this as well. I’m sure I’m not the only person. You should really consider getting it removed from the paywall. I don’t really appreciate it. You at Bored Panda should already know about people who have sensory disorders. This doesn’t help matters. I really wish you would have thought about that before putting a paywall behind dark mode. I’m personally not happy about it. Until it’s resolved to where everyone can use dark mode without a paywall I will no longer use the site or app. It’s unbearable. I’m typing this on an app that has dark mode on without paying for it. Next time maybe try and think about the people who have this disorder. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this either. Please fix in the future. Please and thank you. 🐣🧸

This app is awful
I’m not sure why this app exists as you can’t actually read anything on it. It centrally scrolls to the top or completely out of whatever you are reading. There are numerous pop up ads that interfere. I can’t get through a single item and actually complete it without being either booted out or scrolled somewhere else.

Absolutely horrible
I used to enjoy using the app but now it is completely unusable. Uninstalled and unfollowed on social media since even non app articles are unreadable due to adds and glitches.
Useless unless you really love ads and getting completely frustrated
What is the point of the app? I opened it after not using it for a while and found a bombardment of ads and odd choppy video news segments and more ads. I could barely get through one article. After a few minutes of this I am going to delete this app. I used to enjoy opening it when I was actually bored and it was a little entertaining. Now it seems like some kind of device to drive you insane. No thanks!
