Every article is a subscription

What is the point of even opening up this website when every article slowly fades into white when you realise that each square requires a fee in a year commitment just to read each article?. what a complete tease and waste of time. What’s the point of opening up an article Only to be cut off by lack of membership. Butt uptrend subscriptions would break most
Anyone . It’s ridiculous !!! A big no to Drudge

Horrible

The app used to be ok when it first launched, but has become unusable. Literally unusable. Website links don’t open, there are random pop up ads, and you have to find a tiny little “x” to close an ad before being redirected - if you are lucky enough to get a link to work. I am uninstalling now after over 20 years as a faithful visitor. Done!

Deleting after decades of reading

The app sucks. Ad after ad after ad. Do better.

Barely Usable

Enormous amount of uncontrollable pop up ads make every article nearly impossible to read.

Horrible

Too much work wading through all the ads to access any content.

Go elsewhere

Absolute trash news aggregator.

Distasteful

The ads just keep getting more aggressive - automatically filling full screen and no means to close the pop up.

What a shame and large fall from grace this app has suffered.

Greed killed the app

I switched to the Ground News App and deleted Drudge, that I’ve used for a long, long time. The ads have made it unusable- great job getting everyone off your platform!

Gone Down Quickly

Drudge used to be the best ! Not anymore pop up ad appear out of no where ! I have to fight to get to the article! Just not worth it !

Goodbye good riddance

I have had Drudge installed since they first came into being. I just deleted the app and its entirety. The ads are completely out of control. I just clicked on a normal News link and it got me a pop-up entire screen and caused me to have to shut the phone down.
Whoever is running needs to have their head examined. Goodbye and good riddance!

Deleted

WAY too many ads. Buh bye.

Quitting

No content - all ads

Ruined

I have plenty of news apps but this one is by far the most blatant, and sad whe it come to adds. They turned liberal and then become greedy. It’s laughable.

worst app doesn’t deserve one star

this has become the worst app I’ve ever had. there is an advertisement on every single link that you go to.You can’t get rid of the links. It sucks. Don’t download it post reviews. It’s the worst app. i am out and removing the app.

App sucks

Pop up ad all the time make it unusable love the content hat the app

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
