### 1/5 — Downloaded and deleted

*2026-05-23*

Despite all the other low ratings because of ads I decided to try it and see if they’d fixed the issue…. Nope!  It’s an incredibly clunky app to begin with, and you can’t even read partway into an article without ads popping up. It’s a shame because Defense One is a great news source-I had hoped for a lot more out of this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve it. We appreciate your patience and support as we strive to improve the balance of ads displayed, ensuring a better experience for all our customers.

### 3/5 — Latest version

*2025-07-25*

Doesn’t work on iPad.  Very glitchy.  Not opens as a single bar down left side of screen.

### 1/5 — Non stop ads

*2025-05-01*

Deleted immediately. I couldn’t get through one article without several ads popping up.

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve it. We appreciate your patience and support as we strive to improve the balance of ads displayed, ensuring a better experience for all our customers.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-09-12*

Tried this app out and after scrolling through a few articles I just kept getting bombarded with ads. App had potential and posted good stuff, but too many ads.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience caused by the ads. We're constantly working to enhance the user experience and will take your comments into consideration. Thank you for trying out our app.

### 5/5 — Defense News is very informative and relevant.

*2023-02-05, version 3.8.5*

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-12-11*
