### 1/5 — Lacking

*2023-08-10*

Thanks to Reddits crappy treatment of Apollo and others, I walked away and thought Digg might be a new place for me. Nope. I’ve tried it for over a month and, although some of the content is interesting, it lacks the ability to engage me longer than 10 minutes before boredom sets in. And no back button??? Seriously? It’s actually seriously frustrating. Overall it’s  clumsy to use and poorly designed. I feel like it was a high school kids first attempt at designing their own app. 
I rarely look at it anymore, and now that I’m reviewing it… I realize I just need to delete it off my phone and move on.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2023-07-27, version 7.0.0*

Google is disallowing access due to an outdated login method. Update your app.

### 1/5 — No way to swipe back to main feed???

*2023-07-23, version 7.0.0*

After clicking a link to read, there’s no way to swipe back to where I was in the feed. No back button either. I’m forced to quit the app and start over. 

One star. App deleted.

### 1/5 — There is no back button

*2023-07-03, version 7.0.0*

How can you surf content of a site without a back button? Example: Scroll down the main page until you find something interesting, click the article and read, now go back………you can’t, you have to press the DIGG logo and start the scrolling from scratch. It’s a terrible design.

### 1/5 — App needs to be shut down.

*2023-06-23, version 7.0.0*

Whoever wrote this app has absolutely no common sense. You can tell by some of the articles he’s chosen (Being against scientific debates? Science is about debates) but more importantly, they is no back button after you select an article. So you have to hit the “digg” icon and start all over.

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2023-06-14, version 7.0.0*

Only has social sign in and then tells you it can’t sign you in!

### 3/5 — With everyone dropping Reddit… might want to update!

*2023-06-01, version 7.0.0*

With Reddit being greedy and killing off third party apps, there will be a migration back to Digg…. Y’all might want to refocus your efforts and make this app useful again. Don’t be Reddit. Don’t be greedy trash and you’ll come back from the depths.

### 1/5 — Can't even log in...

*2023-04-15, version 7.0.0*

Okay the 1.4 stars rating makes sense

### 1/5 — “I used to love her…”

*2023-02-22, version 7.0.0*

Like others have said, it used to be a great app. Its so bad that I’m writing my first app review to warn you. This will be the oldest app I've deleted on my devices. I kept opening it to look for updates. It’s lack of functionality or usability make it total garbage. The website is still decent and I’ll still visit there when i want to read something not on mainstream news but this app is gone.
“I used to love her, hm yeah, but I had to kill her” -GnR

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2022-06-15, version 7.0.0*

Navigating this app is a horror story.  Would probably be an easy fix, but the developers / owners appear to have lost interest.
