My eyes are assaulted and it’s very very uncomfortable to use…. So I don’t! ### 3/5 — Logging in shouldn’t be this hard *2025-02-02, version 4.1.4* This “easy” login process sure isn’t easy. All kinds of headaches ### 2/5 — New UI is not it! *2023-11-09, version 4.0.0* Guys the new UI update is not it! The interface has been compacted so much that it doesn’t even resemble the apps previously simplicity features which made it stand out. Also the new tabs on the side have errors that don’t have an easy return to main page option. The store doesn’t have a return to main page, news, option so I have to close the app and reopen to access it. Please return the app to its original UI, it was simple and direct information. ### 4/5 — Dark Mode *2023-10-12, version 3.0.1* Needs dark mode ### 2/5 — App is broke *2023-03-09, version 3.0.1* Can’t log into it anymore. Have to use the web now. ### 4/5 — Dark mode PLEASE *2022-11-09, version 3.0.1* light mode only makes it rough on the eyes ### 3/5 — I love your app but can’t open it anymore.. *2022-08-02, version 3.0.1* Hey it has been a few months since I can’t open the app. A few seconds after first loading the app just crashes.. Is there anything that can be done? ### 3/5 — Almost perfect but only if… *2022-04-11, version 3.0.1* I’m signed into my account via Web application as well as iOS app how can I bookmark save articles etc. via the app someone help please ### 3/5 — Dark mode *2021-10-21, version 3.0* You guys really need this. White background hurts my eyes ### 2/5 — Great source for Decentralized News but… *2021-07-19, version 3.0* I honestly love all their articles and they all feel very up to date and relevant. They have an awesome feature of tracking your reading and rewarding you with their coin but… on the app it does not keep you logged in…. So I’ll be reading an article, go to react and whoops I need to create an account or login. Ok just log back in… except they use MagicLink and send an email… every… time… 2fa… I’ve logged back into the app on my iPhone numerous times now and it has made a great app, just a little infuriating. Still worth the download just to read but I’d love to keep track of all my reads and gain them coins… ### 4/5 — Dark mode *2021-07-09, version 2.3* Decent app. Decent articles. Every app, website etc etc PLEASE save our eyes and make dark mode the default or at least a clear option. ### 1/5 — NOT WORKING RIGHT *2021-07-02, version 2.3* This app has stopped registering my actions to receive tokens and I was in the top 500. I wasted over 50 articles trying everything to get it to register in “activity” or daily cap after I close but nothing worked. App doesn’t need to be updated, I closed and reopened the app many times, rebooted my phone, logged off and on again, but nothing worked. What a waste of my time, I really wanted to use all my tokens for something cool. ### 3/5 — Decent! *2021-06-27, version 2.3* App has a good interface and idea. However I cannot creat a wallet I’ve tried multiple times. Kind of discouraged you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cookies *2023-12-30, version 4.1.3* To all devs who uses the same stupid cookies management solution asking me to sign….177 vendors ? If not I have manually declick all of them and scroll down to disable the next one. This mistake hurts 5 times more if you are…decrypt. ### 1/5 — This is a web-page ! *2023-11-30, version 4.1.2* What happened to the native app? Why a webpage ? I’m truly disappointed ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-12-17, version 3.0.1* App is slow, Wallet creation doesn’t work properly, doesn’t stay signed in and no way to share to messengers like signal 🤷‍♂️ also opens embedded links in the app with no option to open externally. If this is web3 I’ll pass. ### 1/5 — NO DARK MODE *2022-03-30, version 3.0.1* It’s been over a year of feedback & reviews stating you must add DARK MODE. Still nothing… your roadmap isn’t listening to feedback!!! So for that it’s a 1Star app! ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2021-11-21, version 3.0* Wallet issues, poor scrolling mechanism: why would you alter Apple’s default scrolling? No dark mode. Almost hopeless. ### 1/5 — Still no dark mode *2021-09-05, version 3.0* It should have been done long ago. ### 1/5 — Dark mode *2021-08-17, version 3.0* For gods sake, offer a dark mode! The white is killing people’s eyes. ### 1/5 — Errores *2021-07-27, version 3.0* No puedo cargar mi wallet solo la primera vez ### 1/5 — Constantly prompted to upgrade to v3 *2021-07-27, version 3.0* The v3.0 release is constantly prompting me to upgrade to v3 when… well duh… I’m on v3. Not sure what to do to resolve. ### 1/5 — Issues *2021-07-12, version 2.3* Overall great. Some authors have obvious bias and some write about garbage that is largely irrelevant to crypto. I do recommend 4.5/5 6/7/21 Updating the review as more and more articles are not objective reporting but subjective opinion pieces. Crypto has no political boundaries but Decrypt is just another large media outlet. I prefer the little honest guys even though they are hard to find. Rewards are lame and costly, but I like the concept. 7/12/21 constantly having to re-login with the stupid magic link is the nail in the coffin. I never read decrypt anymore, so uninstall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Back button PLEASE. *2024-12-29, version 4.1.4* Please add a back button so we can stop losing progress on current articles when accidentally tapping another articles in efforts to bookmark. It’s annoying to constantly have to research and find notified articles because you lost progress while trying to bookmark another article to read for later. Other than that, love the decrypt news. ### 5/5 — Super *2023-04-18, version 3.0.1* Das Design ist echt schön und die Schriftart macht die Artikel echt angenehm zu lesen. Finde es super dass die Oberfläche simpel ist und nicht zu einer totalen Reizüberflutung führt. Weiter so! ### 5/5 — Works now *2022-02-10, version 3.0* Update iOS. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2021-10-20, version 3.0* It’s so easy✌️read learn and empower you mind for a brighter tomorrow. For it is the ones who surpassed dreaming to begin the melding of our Binary futures. Hence the age of the e-dreamer ### 5/5 — Wish.) *2021-09-19* Please add russian lang🙏 Now u r loosing G number of readers 👨‍🏫 ### 5/5 — Waiting For more upgrades *2021-08-14* Live this app User Interface and updated NEWS. ### 5/5 — iOS update to V 3.0 where is it? *2021-08-09, version 3.0* Clicking the update link the App Store opens but no update is available. But before kind response of developer the app updated automatically, all is working perfectly thanks ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-06-22, version 2.2* Very Nice app ### 5/5 — Easy as 1 2 3 *2021-06-07, version 2.2* Had an issue at first making a wallet but they fixed it Great app , a lot of news to read ### 5/5 — 1 of Few Useful Crypto Apps *2021-05-11, version 2.1.4* I love this app & have been rackin up on the DeCrypt [DCPT] Tokens. Everything’s great just make it better & use a different font.
