### 3/5 — Last Update Broke the FUNKER530 App

*2026-06-27, version 1.12.1*

Mannn something about the last few Updates wrecked the App for me, I’m not huge on the tech side soo I’ll explain what happens.  Soo the last update broke my ability to watch anything besides whatever is the first homepage video, that is the only clip that will run, let alone respond to me clicking it.  

Anything else- far as comment sections, trending videos, ect wont ever load if by some chance they actually let me click on them.

But either way I’m totally bummed out cuz this was my go-to app if I wanted to zone out and enjoy the content. 

Definitely nervous that my phone & iOS# is considered left behind, that would be sooo wack.  Fingers crossed that this somehow will be remedied but it’s been weeks now

### 2/5 — Not moderated at all

*2025-05-20, version 1.12.1*

Plus crazy bias

### 2/5 — Not moderated well

*2025-03-17, version 1.12.1*

The application is functional and works pretty smoothly outside of some bugs that do get patched when discovered. However, go under any video and you will read some of the most vile and racist comments. I have seen few of these actually removed. Ones of the writers is very great with insights and perspective when provided context of situations. Another, makes comments and produces insight based more times than not with a narrative that has no source or citation indicating a heavy bias based on few facts.

### 1/5 — WHY

*2025-01-06, version 1.12.1*

WHY HAVENT YOU FIXED THIS GARBAGE APP ITS SO BAD YOURE ALL SELLOUTS

### 1/5 — Poor quality, needs improvement.

*2025-01-02*

I love the site and was super happy when they got an app, however, it is the only app i have that will not load videos, with or without ad block, furthermore it seems all versions of the site for mobile are having an issue as any alternative browser used to access it is also unable to load any videos. Yet if i click the same video on my computer i’d be able to finish it before it loaded on my phone.

Tldr: App is unoptimized and performs the same as in browser, save storage on phone and use reddit.

### 1/5 — Paying for premium and and still seeing adds

*2024-12-25, version 1.12.1*

I’ve been paying premium for a couple of months and I’m still seeing adds. Tried to contact you guys about this issue but still no answer customer support is nonexistent. Can’t figure out how to fix the issue so I’m just going to contact my bank to stop all transactions with funker530.

### 1/5 — Used to be so good

*2024-11-30, version 1.12.1*

I don’t know what happened the past couple months but it takes 2 minutes to load any page and even longer for videos. App and website both are ruined

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2024-11-26, version 1.12.1*

I just get a white screen and nothing else if I use a VPN. Great app…

Edit: It was my DNS settings, not the app. I stand by my score though. You need to sign up for login. Just go to their website instead of giving out your email. The app just forwards you to the site anyway.

### 1/5 — Terrible updates

*2024-11-13, version 1.12.1*

The new layout and app updates makes it unusable. Can barely load anything and the functionality is terrible.

### 2/5 — Poor Performance

*2024-10-30, version 1.12.1*

Ever since the overhaul the apps performance has been atrocious.

### 1/5 — Make This App Great Again

*2024-10-23, version 1.12.1*

I would like to watch some of the videos I get emailed about… I remember when this app would work great! I used to send all my buddies links to these videos but now it’s just so bad. I can’t even change my profile picture of me and my ex. Not cool

### 1/5 — No good anymore.

*2024-10-21*

Ever since this new update the only videos I can watch are the ads. The. The whole app freezes and becomes unusable. Haven’t received a reply to this or anything. Third time updating this review. Have tried deleting the app and re downloading. Nothing works. Pretty shitty I enjoyed this app for a bit.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-10-13*

After the recent update the app is completely unusable

### 2/5 — Great app but the update ruined it

*2024-10-06, version 1.12.1*

The new interface looks amazing but it completely broke the app for me. I used to be able to pop from video to video no issue but ever since the new interface was implemented it’s been horribly slow and keeps freezing.

### 2/5 — No good anymore.

*2024-10-01*

Ever since this new update I can’t watch videos. I can’t scroll. Basically unusable.

### 1/5 — Mobile version UNUSABLE!

*2024-09-25, version 1.12.1*

I highly suggest you guys fix the mobile app. Has been entirely unusable for the last month plus! 90% of the time you can’t click anywhere on the screen and it’ll crash CONSTANTLY! The app used to work fine before this major update was done.

### 1/5 — The art of totalling what was perfect

*2024-09-18, version 1.12.1*

Since the new version came up, the app doesn’ work at all on my phone. I’m on an old iphone but the thing works perfect except for Funker. Sad

### 1/5 — Standards for app has completely lowered

*2024-09-14*

The old style of this app used to function well, but this new layout seems to make the app completely unusable on my phone. Most recent review was in December, so if you run an older phone don’t even bother using this app

### 4/5 — Good App. Hate the update

*2024-09-07, version 1.12.1*

Use this to study the conflicts around the world and show it to the men I work with as lessons learned. The update has made it more of a hassle to learn for the videos I’m seeking specifically. Would prefer the old style better.

### 1/5 — What did you do???

*2024-08-28, version 1.12.1*

The new app update is horrendous. Everything runs three times slower, the new homepage layout is disgusting, and everything looks and feels clunky now.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wasted Potential

*2026-06-30, version 1.12.1*

It could have been something cool but it’s slowly but very surely gotten way worse and the guys writing the recaps have clearly bent the knee to certain ideologies. The ads are also very annoying, just bombarding you with the same few at the beginning and end of every video, even extremely short videos.

### 1/5 — Down hill

*2025-07-04, version 1.12.1*

Well, this app used to be good. Keeps going downhill with every update. See ya!

### 1/5 — Staff are biased and the UI is terrible

*2025-05-24, version 1.12.1*

Not only is this app extremely annoying to navigate, but it’s plainly obvious that its creators are not supportive of free news. The home page is constantly riddled with Russian men and teens getting wiped out in Ukraine. Followed by disgusting community comments and poorly researched video descriptions. This app could be described as the military enthusiasts version of bestgore.com. If the playing field was even and there was a fair amount of videos of both sides POV’s this app could be useful for news or war footage, but its not. Absolute garbage

### 1/5 — 🗑️

*2025-05-22*

Nothing loads, says “format is not supported” 
Trash app and trash developers

### 1/5 — Thumbs down

*2025-05-12, version 1.12.1*

Can’t believe they took away the thumbs down button.. anyways it was pretty good site. Same few people always commenting political views or arm chair expertise on all the videos. Not what it once was

### 1/5 — App full of teens and kids.

*2025-05-02, version 1.12.1*

Just read the comments and you know this app is full of silly billys.

### 1/5 — What’s going on ?

*2025-04-03, version 1.12.1*

Can’t log in anymore…Even after changing password !

### 1/5 — Meh

*2025-02-24*

App signs you out every few days and then won’t let you log back in?

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work anymore

*2025-02-22, version 1.12.1*

Just constant freezing when videos are clicked on. Can’t even watch videos on the app anymore.

### 1/5 — Great concept, website, commentary - horrible app

*2025-01-30, version 1.12.1*

The execution of this app is… wanting.  It functions horribly on iPhone,  it’s borderline unusable.  Can’t pause or play reliably, can’t get comments to load.  No matter what I try.

### 5/5 — Comments

*2024-08-05, version 1.1.0*

### 5/5 — Real

### 5/5 — Lots of great content

*2023-04-15, version 1.1.0*

Great for finding hard to find videos.

The chat function is reliable and the community is entertaining.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2023-04-14, version 1.1.0*

I get to watch what YouTube doesn’t want me to watch, and I’m down for it.
