Only capitalism. *2026-08-29, version 2026.15* Two BuzzFeed originals followed by endless product promotions. Make your money BuzzFeed. Smh. I didn’t submit this review apparently but now the first thing is advertising. F all the way off. ### 2/5 — Upsetting Ads, Meh Content *2026-08-19, version 2026.14* I’m a millennial who loved Buzzfeed back in its heyday and simply can’t kick the habit. Except when the truly body-horror ads that pop up finally get me to close the damn app. Graying teeth and receding gum lines, wax coming out of ears - every two swipes you’re hit with a disturbing, nightmare fuel image while attempting to doomscroll your way to numbness. Don’t download this app. ### 3/5 — Terrible Version *2026-08-04, version 2026.13* This update of BuzzFeed is terrible I don’t like it take it back to the old version to many colors and the setup is dumb especially for my quizzes. ### 3/5 — login issue *2026-07-24, version 2026.13* since the new update, i was logged out, and now it wont let me log back in using my Facebook account. every time i click on that option, it just takes me to the Facebook app, but doesnt log me in on the Buzzfeed app. pleaseeee fix this! it works fine on the website, just not the app. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable until it’s political *2026-07-12, version 2026.12* I have used BuzzFeed for years. I love the articles, the quizzes, the shopping recommendations (alot of my amazon purchases come from the shopping articles), etc. It has gotten to a point now though, where every article or story has some political commentary (sometimes it’s not even needed). I get there is a lot going on politically and there is a lot to discuss, but we don’t need to keep giving spotlight on Trump, please. If it’s an article about politics, that’s fine, but I don’t need a political reference when I am looking at recommendations for shoes. ### 3/5 — Daily quiz *2026-06-27, version 2026.11* There are pop up ads that block the next button and have tried everything to fix. This is frustrating and ridiculous . ### 2/5 — No news. Only capitalism. *2026-06-25, version 2026.11* Two BuzzFeed originals followed by endless product promotions. Make your money BuzzFeed. Smh. ### 3/5 — Has gone way downhill *2026-06-06, version 2026.10* I used to use this app addictively. The first sign it was slipping was when the same images started being used for every article (SO sick of that one woman’s leg up crotch shot…). But now the content is 50% quizzes, 40% lists of things for you to buy (for which they get kickbacks), and the rest titled along the lines of “people are saying…”. Do buzzfeed journalists even write their own content anymore? Not to mention the ad pop ups now on every article! I’m close to deleting this and falling back on Reddit or something that actually has content for me to read. ### 2/5 — Bad upgrade *2026-06-04, version 2026.10* Remove the videos from my reading!! I don’t need a auto-playing video while i read an article ### 2/5 — Way too much on the screen *2026-05-03, version 2026.7* Really need to pare down the content. It's overwhelming on the app and makes me not want to use it. ### 3/5 — No more actual editorial pieces *2026-04-22, version 2026.7* All that’s in my news today feeds are lists of things to buy. Have we run out of catchy lists and scary stories or lists of crazy facts. Essentially all BuzzFeed has now is Ads. All of that should be under the shop button. ### 2/5 — Crashes my phone *2026-04-09, version 2026.6* All the ads make it lag and it overheats my iPhone ### 1/5 — Buggy for no reason? *2026-03-29, version 2026.5* I’ve been a buzzfeed fan since like 2014, but for the last couple years it has been so buggy, freezing and glitching out, blanking when I’m halfway through an article, and it seems like they just aren’t supporting it anymore? Such a waste of time ### 2/5 — i used to love buzzfeed… *2026-03-27, version 2026.5* buzzfeed is an app that i have not only used longer than basically every other one but in my mind used to rank far superior to all others. it used to be filled with unique, thought provoking, educational content. i would constantly send my friends the articles and it was a multiple times a day checked app for me. i used to scroll it every night before bed. for months and probably more than a year now i have laid down in bed to scroll buzzfeed and within minutes i am closing the app. i have never in my entire life seen more gross consumerism than what fills the feed these days. every single post is about purchasing something. and no im not in the shopping tab. its absurd. you used to be a rare gemstone among the masses. and now sadly i cant stand you. i dont need 75+ shopping articles with a different title but the same items. it’s gross and frankly boring and lame. people can’t afford gas or groceries we don’t need links to buyout amazon. i expected more of you. you were capable of more. be better buzzfeed. you sold out and it sucks. a long time lover turned hater. ### 1/5 — Used to be for entertainment *2026-02-25, version 2026.3* I used to really enjoy BuzzFeed. They would post some news but you had to realize to take their reporting with a grain of salt. I enjoyed their listicals, quizzes, celebrity news, shopping tips. Now every post is so political. They have moved away from entertainment and moved to one sided “news stories”. I know I’m not their target audience, but I still enjoyed their site and would scroll past the political posts, now it seems to be 90% political and maybe 10% entertainment on a good day. Christian republicans need to stay away. I don’t mind a little one sided stories, but it is to the point now of aggression. ### 1/5 — Lil Snack is ruined/who wants to pay for Buzzfeed?! *2026-02-14, version 2026.3* Lil Snack has a different format now. No community, no prizes. Scattergories and Wheel of Fortune are gone. Just 4 mid games every day. Plus, every other quiz I click on asks me to subscribe to take it. Not when it used to be, but what should I expect from a big company in 2026? ### 1/5 — Ads ruining the whole app *2026-02-03, version 2026.2* I’ve always loved scrolling through buzzfeed articles but their ad placements are so very annoying. They make it so you accidentally click on them constantly. I get needing ad revenue, but come on. I shouldn’t get taken out of the app every 10 secs by some random ad ### 1/5 — Review *2026-01-24, version 2026.2* It’s an LGBT app that is very biases in the news and articles the publish ### 1/5 — Not functional *2025-12-31, version 2025.25* Everything either crashes or won’t update (especially the daily quizzes). You care more about stealing other peoples content from other apps, and claiming them as your own, then you do about have a functional app. ### 3/5 — Games Issue *2025-12-03, version 2025.24* The app has worked fine up until a couple of weeks ago. Now I can’t play the games because the screen isn’t in sync with where I’m tapping. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb decision to remove in-app notification centre *2026-08-02, version 2026.13* Getting Rid of the in-app Notif... Removing the notification menu that was in the app, the little notification bell that you could click to see who interacted with your comments was the most ridiculous and unnecessary decision. I don't even want to comment and interact now because I can't see the replies or likes unless I dig through the "all comments" section on my profile. This was such a stupid thing to take away, because interacting was my favourite part and now that I can't even really do that fully I don't even see myself using the app anymore so great work buzzfeed ### 1/5 — been going downhill for years *2026-07-25, version 2026.13* most quizzes don’t load. app consistently crashes. nowhere on the app to ask for assistance, and if i use internet browser instead of app, it causes my computer to glitch. do better ### 1/5 — Booty nana app *2026-06-29, version 2026.11* This app is so nuts and it always lags when im trying to do a gyat dang quiz. Get the makers of this banned immediately. Buzzfeed more like booty feed. ### 1/5 — Adorava o app *2026-06-11* Poderia voltar o idioma português, adorava o app! ### 1/5 — Woke App *2026-06-09, version 2026.10* 0 ### 1/5 — Ad pop ups *2026-05-30, version 2026.9* Love the daily games but the ads keep popping up over the games so can’t play them. It’s been getting worse with every update and no way to close to ads making it impossible to play ### 1/5 — Stealing art and selling to AI *2026-05-27, version 2026.9* Stole the creation of a former employee and uploaded it to AI. No integrity for its employees or their work. ### 1/5 — Changed for the worse *2026-04-24, version 2026.7* I used to do quizzes on the app every night before bed as a way to wind down (I have ADHD/insomnia and I get anxious about sleep). However they’ve changed it recently so instead of the usual inane quizzes and trivia, it’s now pushing rubbish Wordle-style games. And they took away the infinite scroll so you can hardly browse for quizzes at all. A pointless update that’s made me delete the app. Bye bye BuzzFeed x ### 1/5 — My review *2026-04-12, version 2026.6* Too many quizzes and shoppings for me. Now there’s an ad that pops up when you actually find something to read and it’s really annoying. One thing I’ve noticed, that has nothing to do with this, is on the shopping posts there’s this Vampire Exfoliant thing that been posted for years. I don’t think it sells that good if they’re still trying to get rid of it. Maybe it does work and that’s why it’s ALWAYS there but I’ve never seen it at someone’s house or ever been talked about. Doesn’t seem like anyone wants it. Again that has nothing to do with anything though, just my thoughts. ### 1/5 — So buggy, so glitchy, so sad *2026-04-04, version 2026.5* Remember old Buzzfeed? When it was entertaining? Before they lost their soul? Anyway that’s not the point here. This app is a no for me. Freezes, glitches, blanks out randomly halfway through an article, basically all the same things their website does. They tell you to do the same thing they’re going to do when they reply to this review… contact support and they’ll walk you through resolution! Super helpful :) Support acts as if it’s the first time they’ve ever heard of these issues even though we’ve all just been living with it for years now. They ask you to refresh cookies and cache, reset your phone, uninstall and reinstall the app, the whole deal. Poor Buzzfeed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it *2025-10-13, version 2025.20* Can some of the quizzes be guy friendly lol everything is about females ### 5/5 — Buzzing for this weekend *2025-07-04, version 2025.13* The most important part about the project and is how well you do your research and your research ### 5/5 — Amazing app would recommend *2025-06-27, version 2025.13* Personally. I love it. I love quizzes and drama articles but the thing I love most about this app is that you can pick what you wanna read and quiz about if that makes sense. You can type whatever you’re in the mood for and find everything on that topic. 10/10 Would recommend ### 5/5 — Good for Shopping *2025-06-23, version 2025.12* When I’m bored, I enjoy leafings thru shopping; unfortunately, liberals with TDS make their news suss. ### 5/5 — Buzzfeed *2025-05-21, version 2025.10* Five stars..This app has everything from news to fun pics, to trivia and more- there’s no other app like Buzzfeed and it also has brain teasers- wow!! Buzz Feed has it all..fun photos, and news, trivia..this is my-go-to- fun-app!! There’s something for everyone!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-05-01, version 2025.8* It's not just a quiz app but a learning experience ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-03-21, version 2025.6* Best app ever ### 5/5 — OMG I love BuzzFeed *2025-02-26, version 2025.4* BuzzFeed is the best .I love when people have one of the biggest smiles on their face . And they also get more knowledge by reading and answering questions whether they get it right or wrong. #bestappever ### 5/5 — Leftist but good *2025-01-22, version 2025.1* I love the articles, but the only thing I’m not liking is when they try to force their leftist ideology on people, so I just take whatever they post about it with a huge grain of salt and move on. ### 5/5 — AWFUL update *2025-01-20, version 2025.1* I loved the Buzzfeed app, but the new update is AWFUL. No one asked for this. The app is now visually overwhelming to the point of being almost unusable. The colors are over-stimulating and overdone. The articles, specific sections, and ads all just blur into one another in a long scroll of nonsense. There is nothing eye catching about any of it, nothing that draws your attention to any specific thing.
