Adware is horrible Don’t Install this app
There are adds that take over your phone and you can’t get out of them. Until these are removed by the Electrek team DO NOT download this Trojan horse app. Do not support their website until this is fixed.
Ads Auto Run
Ads start running without user input causing the screen to go black. Very annoying
Opinionated ‘news’
Once upon a time it was a news outlet, now a bash on anything Tesla.
Anti Tesla rhetoric
The most left wing, anti Tesla rhetoric, given weekly, by your host Fred Lambert.
It is amusing to listen to how often Fred and Seth actually mock Tesla on a weekly basis without fail.
Quite an embarrassing display of contempt for Tesla, considering without Tesla news, the show would be about 5 minutes in length.
An insult to the EV community…

Duplicates
The app has constant duplicates of stories and clicking on one shows a different story.
Pretty good
Content is good but often the link to the full article takes you to a different article and you never get the information.
Too many video ads
The free version became unusable! You open any article and in 5 seconds there’s a full screen video without clicking anything. Disrespectful
Full Screen Blackness
As the previous review mentioned, the app at times becomes pretty much unusable due to it unceasingly launching a full screen video advertisement (which starts off black). You can swipe it away, only for it to come back again and again after few second each time. Infuriating. If this isn’t fixed I will have to delete.

Great site. Terrible App.
I love Electrek so this review is nothing against their content. But the app is terrible. It constantly opens ads in full screen and won’t let me actually read the articles and makes it not only a bad user experience but also just unusable.
No Font Size Option?
Great app but with no ability to increase the font size inside of articles is very disappointing. This is a basic function, apps like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) have this option as a basic setting. Please add this feature because the default font size is small. Thank you
Too many corrupt links
This is a great app for articles of EV’s, environmentally friendly power generation, related (mostly US) government policy and a chance to comment on the article. However, it is constantly plagued with corrupt links to published articles . This is quite frustrating as many articles cannot be read unless you go to the website.

Terrible app
Inaccurate news and buggy app.
Best EV news site
All the news and faster than traditional outlets. Writers are all experts and good at this.
Foolish vendetta
Your personal bias towards Tesla works you.
glitches glitches glitches
the news this app provides is priceless. love the solar, battery, and ev news. but i had to delete the app from my iphone 14 max pro. it’s too laborious to read anymore. every time an advertisement tries to load, the story is lost, story goes black, advertisement survives. it takes 3-4 times to close the story and open it back up before you can read the entire story. so frustrating, and it’s not getting fixed. this has been going on for over a year. goodbye electrek

Home of Tesla haters
Contributors seem to constantly rant about Tesla while speaking highly of companies who ship very small volumes of actual products. They’ve lost their way in terms of objectivity. Sad as I’ve followed the site for many many years.
Seems very bias
It seems that every article that talks about Tesla is against Tesla. It’s starting to feel like another left leaning news outlet that hates Elon. There’s plenty to not like about him, or Tesla, but the bias seems consistent. Considering that without Elon, and Tesla, the overall conversation around electric vehicles wouldn’t have nearly the same validity and interest, at least on the timescale in which it has happened. You can read the articles and decide for yourself.

Is this only a daytime app?
Why does it stop working each night? No text shows each night, then works during the day. I love it when I can read it, which isn’t often currently.

Doesn’t load content every night
Each night the article text doesn’t load (just the ads for the article).
I’m kind of curious what’s going on. I’m picturing someone patting their back each morning with the fix (like rebooting a server), but doesn’t think to fix the underlying issue.
I’m a fan of the content and use it whenever the content loads.
