### 1/5 — Barely any news about games, not worth your time and definitely not worth your money

*2026-05-25, version 8.0.1*

It was the best now it’s full of non game news, homicide news, the last thing i wanted to see on it. Shame but i had to stop paying for ad free and then just deleted it. Private equity wrecks another app.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-12-15, version 7.4.9*

New update gives you a massive amount of ads when there were none before. And when you block a news article, you still see the articles on the homepage. Also going from white to orange on the interface was… a choice.

### 1/5 — Good app ruined

*2025-11-04, version 7.0.0*

Used to be a great news aggregator but the latest revision is a massive step backwards for both usability and functionality. Devs, check your DAUs and rollback.

### 1/5 — Not what it used to be

*2025-09-18, version 7.0.0*

Went from gaming news to just news, ads everywhere, cant read full article. It just bad now. Uninstalling.

### 3/5 — Backward Update

*2025-07-31, version 5.1*

The new update and UI/UX is a big step backwards. It doesn’t work at all, hopefully they can fix it but if not will have to go elsewhere

### 1/5 — Help!-app is broken as of July 24.

*2025-07-26, version 5.1*

Half of the screen is blank and the other half shows just a couple of articles but when you click on them, they hide behind the blank half

### 1/5 — UI update and fullscreen ads

*2025-07-23, version 5.1*

Just received a terrible UI update, with ads that rip you out of the app. No thanks

### 1/5 — Worse with every update

*2025-07-19*

It amazes me how many apps that get worse with every update.  This is perfect example of developers over designing to make an app less functional than what it was. But hey, at least it looks slick! Too bad you can no longer read the full article and can only see the first sentence. I mean it was sort of the whole purpose of the app! Maybe when the devs see engagement plummet they will go back to how it was. And whoever oversaw this design change should be fired. (B.F.A. In design here, call me.)

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience with the recent update. Your feedback is important to us, and we're working on optimizing the ad experience to provide a better reading environment. We hope you'll give us another chance to improve. Thank you for sharing your concerns.

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2025-07-19, version 5.1*

Nothing works in this new update! If I block a source I don’t want to see their articles at all, not even the titles! Right now the only thing that changes is that if I open the article it’s empty, and LAD Bible makes so many useless articles that clutters the whole app! On the top news you should be able to put an emote, but that just doesn't work and in the previous version you could do that to all news, not just top ones. There’s so many more ads now! I tried to go to the remove ads section and it just throws me an error! Have you guys never heard of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”? Or even just bug testing

### 3/5 — App has stopped working

*2025-07-11, version 5.0.25*

Was working great but now when I launch it it never shows any articles, it’s just blank
