Major downgrade
Difficult to manage as the full site on a mobile platform, and the ads are even worse to close. If I wanted to deal with it like this, I could just use a browser. Don’t bother downloading at this time, even one star is too kind.
Better to just use the website and make an app yourself pointing to it.

I can’t think of a worse app
This is the poster child for a bad user experience, and should be taught in every design program for what not to do.
From Gold to Hot Garbage
The app used to be amazing but now it’s hot garbage. It went from being primarily about serving news to now being consumed with serving full screen ads you have to click through to close before accessing any of the news.
Drudge is just Advertising Now
Every article that isn’t some silly cultural garbage is behind a paywall
Click and wait
None of the stories are readable unless you download the app the story is on. NYT, Wall Street….. it used to be good but now it’s just headlines and no substance. Look for other news generators that actually allow you to read the story
It looks like a kindergartner designed this app
The developers of this app have consistently botched the design. You’d think after x major versions, it would finally look and perform well. They basically embedded a web view - what’s the point of the app?
Pop ups & 'Dead' Links
This last update with the pop up ad when you click and have to search for a minuscule 'close' button stinks. And at least half the time the headline is linked to a subscription-required site. I've noticed I come here less and less
Cringe experience
The mobil app is horrible now. Ive moved on to other apps. The ad experience is cringe. I have to zoom in to see what im clicking on then have to zoom out ti find microscopic x to close. The mobil button is a joke.
Every Link is to an ad
Also it’s nothing but one over liberal link after another. Nobody uses it anymore. I think someone else took it over and Matt Druge is gone. Worst news all hands down. Unusable
WTHeck
Why go from a mobile version to a desktop version we can’t read? Put it back, please.
Instant crash
First article I opened, gave me the spinning wheels and screen not responsive. Removed app after that.
Ads don’t close
Ads close button so small you can’t even close them and makes the app useless.
Pop Up Ads Ruined It
No need to type much more. The website and app is now bogged down so bad with pop-up ads. It is unusable. Deleting and no longer using DrudgeReport after 20 years.
MSN news
Hard to read-does anybody actually check how these posts look on an iPhone. really app has deteriorated perhaps that’s why you get these low ratings
Ugh
This app used to be good for mobile. Now it’s hot garbage. No single column. Junked up with ads. You’re better off viewing in your browser with full ad and pop up blockers in force.
Zoom out to close out of ads?
This app takes an unusable mobile web interface and does a lift and shift to give you the exact same unusable mobile web interface.. but in an app.
Don’t waste your time
New format is absolutely ridiculous. More than half the articles have a paywall now, you have to pinch and zoom to see a desktop version, and screen sized ads pop up every time you click a link to read. This is garbage. I stuck with drudge for near 20 years and I’m now happily deleting the app. Don’t waste your time with this one. May it die a fast and painful death!

Accessability
Can’t read Drudge on my IPhone. Apparently getting desktop view and don’t know how to change to Phone view.
Can’t get to the actual story because of pop-ups
This is atrocious. Rather than embedded added to the articles, your entire screen opens to an ad rather than the article. After closing it three times then it will open the article. And sometimes it glitches and you have to close completely out of the app. Horrible.
Trash App
They might as well shut this app down. Takes too long to try and figure out how to get by the popups. Not only that but it they are very obviously biased.
