### 3/5 — Favorite watch magazine, but unfinished app

*2025-10-12, version 1.00.01*

I really enjoy the content within the app, but the app itself needs some work:

- badly functioning picture viewer
- no search
- no dark mode 

I hope the app wasn’t abandoned by the devs!

### 5/5 — app was not working, now it is

*2024-08-15, version 1.00.01*

The app was not working for several weeks, but now somehow content starts showing again. Overall a great app if it’s working.

### 1/5 — Seems to be dead

*2024-08-08, version 1.00.01*

Doesn’t show content. Seems to be dead.

### 1/5 — Dead App

*2024-08-04, version 1.00.01*

Not worked for weeks.

### 1/5 — Home page rarely loads

*2024-07-24*

App is pretty worthless for viewing news content—it won’t load 99% of the time. Not what I expected from the Fratello team.

### 2/5 — Serious issues with app

*2024-07-23*

Like a prior reviewer App stopped displaying news or any content other than shopping.  Tried deleting and reinstalling with same problem.  Tried logging out but can’t log back in—error message. Exact same result on iPad and iPhone. Fratello website works fine.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-07-22*

Doesn’t work any more. Stories don’t show up at all

### 1/5 — Used it a lot until recently - no content anymore

*2024-07-22, version 1.00.01*

I used this app regularly, re-read bookmarked articles and explored the wide variety of Fratello articles. Worked almost perfect, besides sometimes forgetting login-credentials or bookmarked articles. 
Since a couple of days unfortunately nothing is shown anymore…

### 1/5 — App routinely doesn’t pull content down

*2024-07-18*

App routinely doesn’t pull content down, even after deleting and reinstalling. On multiple devices. It is functionally useless.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-07-16*

Not articles and logins fail with nslurldomain errors. Previously worked well although the top first photo was always cut off in odd ways.
