### 2/5 — Lacking

*2017-09-09, version 3.4.1*

Why can't i like or save or bookmark articles?

### 2/5 — Better but far from good

*2017-03-06, version 3.4*

They've improved the ad blasts that once crippled the app. But it still crashes when you leave and return to the app while it's open (double tap). The content is great, the functionality is terrible.

### 2/5 — Fix the ad problem.

*2017-02-26, version 3.3*

I remember Alex saying this would be fixed a year ago on Reddit but it is not. I like the content but I hate not being able to read the articles

### 1/5 — The refreshes are major issue

*2017-02-26, version 3.3*

The app is borderline unusable. It refreshes continuously as you read articles. I'll stick with the website if I want their two cents.

### 2/5 — App does not do website justice

*2017-02-09, version 3.3*

Been a follower of COS for 10 years now, but they have yet to make a quality app that does the website justice. I usually use my browser on my phone for COS rather than the app they offer

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-02-06, version 3.3*

CoS is a solid website.  I stress the word website.  The app is a joke.  The site's writers are incredibly (and more often than not, rightfully) condescending towards the over-commercialization of music, yet the app is so saturated with ads that it is hard to take them at all seriously when reading their articles.  And that's only possible intermittently because of the incredibly obtrusive ads.  It's really laughable.  As stated above, the app is a joke.  It should be embarrassing to them - just like Donald Trump should be embarrassing to us all (something about which they also write too much).

### 2/5 — Content can be annoying

*2016-11-19, version 3.2.1*

Can you please stick to writing about music and keep your nose out of politics? We don't come here for op-eds on current events, but we do come for the music. The political scene gets enough coverage as it is. We don't need reminders.

### 1/5 — Consequence of Nothing

*2016-10-12, version 3.2.1*

I'm not sure what's wrong with this app, but it's incredibly slow to respond.  Additionally, once a story page loads and you start scrolling it just jumps back to the top again, and again, and again. It's essentially unusable.

Oh, yeah, you can read the same stories on pitchfork or nme, so there's really not much reason for it to exist anyway.

### 1/5 — Love the content, hate the app

*2016-06-28, version 3.2.1*

The title says it all. CoS has great entertainment news, but the app just does not work well. 

It is slow to open one of the news categories, and when it finally loads and I click an article, I am unable to read it because every time I scroll down the page refreshes as it tries to load an advertisement that will not fully load. I've been dealing with the bug for months now and I've had enough---I will read CoS through Twitter or yo through an Internet browser instead.

### 2/5 — Was good

*2016-06-14, version 3.2.1*

Dear COS,

Buggy advertisements are rendering your app useless. I cannot scroll through the articles anymore.

E

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2016-03-13, version 3.0.3*

Slow.  Does not work.  Crashes.  

Very disapointing.

### 1/5 — Money grab makes it worthless

*2016-02-27, version 3.0.3*

The advertising so dominates the app, and actually disturbs the functionality of the app, that it is a worthless app. Use the website, or go to a website that hasn't tried to become the people magazine of music websites.

### 1/5 — Ads everywhere

*2016-02-26, version 3.0.3*

This app is over-run with ads. Nearly every time I open a news story, I'm redirected towards the App Store promoting one thing or another. This is a decent news site but horrible app.

### 1/5 — Advertising disguised as an app

*2016-02-19, version 3.0.3*

I've never seen an app so blatantly serve as spam. Delete.

### 1/5 — I love COS, but this app is useless

*2016-01-11, version 3.0.3*

Ads cause app to be worthless. Haven't read one article on this stupid app. I'm gonna delete it now. Bye

### 1/5 — Like the App hate the ads

*2016-01-05, version 3.0.3*

Has become so inundated with ads that the App has become worthless.  The ads literally take over and you can't read the reviews or articles.  I like Consequence of Sound and hope they fix this. I will skip the App and go to their website.

### 1/5 — Fix This

*2020-12-01, version 3.4.9*

I do love this app. I really do. “So why such the low rating?” You might ask. This was a 4-5 star app up until two weeks ago, when all of a sudden, I clicked on an article, and the headline was what was written in the icon, but the article was the exact same article from the icon before it. Basically every tab was the exact same story as the first story in the feed. Only the headline was different. I would very much like to love this app again. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Great website / possibly worst ever app

*2020-05-09, version 3.4.9*

Disappointingly the ads still work.
Sell outs

### 1/5 — Fix your app

*2019-09-29, version 3.4.1*

It's a flip of a coin if this app loads and works. Great website, awful app

### 1/5 — Love it when it works

*2019-09-17, version 3.4.1*

I love the app but it’s constantly crashing if it works at all. They really need to work out the kinks cuz it’s a great idea

### 1/5 — Posts fake news based on Twitter rumors

*2019-01-16, version 3.4.1*

They post fake stories based on Tweets.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2018-09-26, version 3.4.1*

You have been warned. The adds on this app make it unusable. You cannot read news, you cannot watch videos. This is a zero stars app right now, and reading other reviews, it looks like it has been for awhile. I guess they have no intentions of fixing this. Shame as I enjoyed  the content (what little I could see through the adds).

### 1/5 — The Crash

*2017-09-01, version 3.4.1*

App keeps crashing on my iPhone 6.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2017-04-30, version 3.4.1*

Update April 29th, 2017: app hasn't loaded since last update. Just crashes.

App constantly crashes, and sometimes you can't continue to scroll down when you're reading a story because the adds are constantly reloading and jumping you back up to the top of the page. It also crashes when trying to access the upcoming releases page. I love the content but hate the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-03-17, version 3.4*

If you like your music news apps to crash & be slow with a dash of PC, Anti Fa bull$h*+, then this is the app for you!

### 1/5 — No stars

*2017-02-28, version 3.3*

I don't think I could hate anything more. It makes me want to throw my phone on the ground and then burn it.

*2017-03-19, version 3.4*

Pretty Decent... updates frequently

### 3/5 — Interesting, but...

*2016-05-20, version 3.2.1*

The app runs extremely slow. The loading time is kind of awful. Besides that, it's to be determined.
