DON’T GET THIS APP

Used to be a decent app. I paid for premium upgrade so I didn’t have to see ads; NOW I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING!!!
REFUND MY $$$!!!

App in iOS Devices is not Updating Content

The iPhone and iPad apps aren’t updating content.

No longer works.

Useless, will not load now

Missing titles

Gossip Bucket is no longer including DListed, which is THE BEST GOSSIP BLOG in the world. I am frustrated. It is also not updating The Cut any longer. Other, lesser sites are updated regularly.

Response from developer

Hello, Sorry to inform you, the site DLISTED shut down in June 2023. The Cut is still updated regularly on GossipBucket.com and in our app.

My 5 Star Rating✨✨

This app is amazing! It always tell me the latest gossip and I don’t even have to go on 10 different websites! It’s so great and convenient!

Pop up ads

Too many ooo up ads

Ads refuse to close

What’s up with the pop up ads that refuse to close? If I want to take a cruise I’ll search it up on my own, but the pop ups popping up on my screen even after closing the app is obnoxious. And it is this app, not anyone else’s content.

It's not loading

Great app when it's working, which it usually is. As of now, it's been a few hours since it's not loading on any device I use. What's up?

Gossip Bucket Review

I have loved the content in the app but lately the pop-up video ads have become unbearable. It is impossible to read articles from start to finish because the same ad keeps reappearing. I have deleted the app as a consequence. Don’t waste your time with it.

Why Am I Suddenly Seeing ads

I paid for an ad free app a long time ago and now I’m seeing ads on the bottom of the screen.

Response from developer

If you've purchased ad removal or the premium upgrade, please visit the in app settings tab and then tap on the Premium upgrade screen. There is a button in the top right labeled "Restore" please tap that to restore any previous ad removal purchases and it will be reactivated. This can be necessary sometimes when you upgrade or switch your device. Please let us know if you have any further concerns.

What Happened?

I paid to have ads eliminated, which worked for a long time, and now the ads are back with a vengeance. I don’t like it.

Gossip Bucket

Was good at first, but now there are terrible pop-ups that block the articles so you can’t read them. You can’t get rid of them either! Bad!

Response from developer

There are no pop up ads served by GossipBucket. Just the small banner at the bottom which you can remove with a donation. GossipBucket has no control over ads that appear on third party websites within the app.

It’s Mostly Bout Junk…

The only thing that was informative was that people I didn’t know, died. (I’m bad with names..)A music producer and his family, plus 4 others on a plane crash. Then I read an article about some guy’s date of death. (RIP…) Sad topics? Yes! But they let you see what’s going on. These serious things that happen should be mentioned right..? Everything else that people have made articles about is stupid. Gossip? This is not gossip. All of it was bland and boring. Also, buzzfeed..? Mm’kay

Used to be good

I’ve had this app for quite a while but it has gone downhill! Time to delete. If it’s even working, it’s full of ads when you click on a story, once you get rid of one add another one pops up constantly. Otherwise the app doesn’t work half the time. Used to be good but not anymore!!

Response from developer

As a reader service we can not control the ads and content displayed on third party websites. The Gossip Bucket app has only one small ad space at the bottom of the screen which supports the free service, it can be removed with an in app purchase if you elect.

Gossip Bucket

All the info about celebrities you want in one app!

Why is there no content? WiFi is working on everything else!

What’s wrong with this... showing no content! WiFi is working on every other App!

Glad you acknowledged the glitch you had! But I truly love that App. Read it all day every day! Thanks for the explanation!

Response from developer

We had some temporary downtime due to a server glitch. It was back up and fully fixed within 1 hour.

love this app

Inappropriate

I would not recommend this app - twice now I
Have been reading an article and short video clips of porn have started playing!!! Not appropriate. Also - nearly every time I’m reading something a high pitched beeping occurs, even if the phone is on vibrate. Not great if you’re trying to read while in a quiet place. Definitely has gone downhill and I will be deleting it.

Very left wing. Inappropriate toward President

As you could imagine this entire app is totally left wing. I would be surprised if this review is even made public because it is as negative as the articles are here about our President, other governmental officials; most all articles sling garbage about others very easily. I have seen this app go down from the very beginning, and it seems to perpetuate the ignorance and thoughtlessness the left creates. Good luck!
