The only way to stop the stupid ‘you’ve won a gift card’ popups is to completely re-install the app. ### 4/5 — I Love Fark *2018-11-17, version 2.11* I mostly use the mobile for the updates on threads I’ve commented on. Site works well. ### 4/5 — Solid, has improved *2018-11-04, version 2.11* I really enjoy using this app. I’ve been a Farker since before broadband was a thing, and always will be. This app nicely arranges the content and keeps your place as you bounce out to the stories and back. Unfortunately, most news sites in mobile are just awful, but that’s not FARK’s fault. So there’s only so many I can sit through. But the headlines and discussion are great. Thanks for providing this app to the Farkers our there. ### 2/5 — Slow and late *2018-10-22, version 2.11* Snarky and funny, but the News is usually old, late and then stale. 1-3 days late in most cases. Improve timing and this would be a Top App! ### 4/5 — Great for mobile use *2018-10-12, version 2.1* For some things I prefer using this mobile app to going to the actual Fark website. For browsing of posts, the app works well, with no ads to clutter things (though you really should support Fark by subscribing to TotalFark and/or BareFark) If you want to do more complicated things, like post a picture or ‘edit’ a previous post, then the iPad interface makes things difficult. There appears to be no difference in operation after ‘upgrading’ to iOS12, on the iPad or the iPhone ### 2/5 — Can’t comment after IOS 12 update *2018-09-27, version 2.1* Can’t type text in comments. Still browses fine. Already tried a hard reboot of my iPhone to resolve. ### 2/5 — Notifications *2018-09-10, version 2.1* stopped working after latest update. ### 4/5 — My go-to app for breaking newa *2017-07-20, version 2.0.1* I don't use this app for read Fark (which I don't do on mobile), but I do use it for breaking news alerts because unlike pretty much every news app that just wants traffic every day, Fark seems to actually understand what "breaking news" means, and only interrupts me for actually important stuff. Wish the was an Android version too. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2017-05-26, version 2.0.1* Easy to get updates on my watch which is very helpful to me at work. The filters are most excellent. Good job Guys! ### 4/5 — My review... *2017-04-25, version 2.0.1* Competent and bug free. Maybe the app will quit asking me to review it, now this comment is up! ### 5/5 — It's not news... *2017-04-08, version 2.0.1* ...it's Hey! On Fark! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avoid the forums. *2024-04-28, version 2.16* Internet chats used to be a fun place but not anymore. Mods quickly delete opinions they don’t agree with and ban you for not being a part of their echo chamber. ### 1/5 — Don’t use this app *2024-04-03, version 2.16* App used to be useable. The amount of pop ups and annoying advertisements make this app unusable. Open up a browser window with the full ( Not mobile) site and your experience will be a factor of ten to a hundred times better. I tried to give no stars after using this app for years. This app now deserves zero stars. Can’t rate it without at least 1 star. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2023-08-18, version 2.16* Constantly keeps popping a very obtrusive full screen video with zero way to turn off the feature. Also, unlike four years ago this app has ads. ### 1/5 — Impossibly complicated signup process *2021-01-08, version 2.15* Sorry, can’t quit my job just so I can signup forever ### 1/5 — Scam app!! *2020-01-21, version 2.11* This app appears to just be a phishing app to get personal login info. ### 1/5 — Needs an update. *2018-09-06, version 2.02* Flair and tags for headlines do not work anymore. Really needs an update. ### 1/5 — No support for dynamic type *2017-10-18, version 2.02* You get one font size, you can’t make the font bigger, makes the app pretty useless on certain devices. The default font is pretty tiny. ### 1/5 — News with a heavy leftist spin *2013-05-30* The headline teasers are real funny. Up to date news stories grabbed from the interwebs with an emphasis on bashing anything Conservative while protecting the looney left liberal to a fault. The comment section is filled with what seems like basement dwelling uberlibs, trolls, wannabe comedians, hippie elites, race baiters, obamorons, guilty white liberals, know it all collage children and a few common sense clear thinking Consevatives. If you're coming here for news don't expect any bad press about obama, his administration, or his friends. This is the kind of site that gets it marching orders from the democrat puppetmasters and they will totally ignore the truth if it means staying in good favor with the current regime. An example would be the hundreds of comments attacking the director of a UTube video for causing the Libya terrorist attack. The useful sheep are plentiful at this site. ### 1/5 — I wish I could give zero stars. *2013-01-10, version 1.1* I have no interest in signing up for a Fark account. So to me this app is a useless waste of storage space. Fark you Fark! ### 1/5 — Love the site, hate the app. *2012-12-28, version 1.1* - haven't noticed an alert yet (maybe 'coz I'm Aussie and set to silent at my night / USA daytime?) - makes it harder to navigate site (can only read one page at a time, keeps losing place in list, no option to queue articles and keep browsing either) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — top shelf *2019-06-09, version 2.11* (that's where they keep the good stuff) ### 5/5 — I get all my news from Fark. Com! *2019-04-28, version 2.11* If it weren’t for this app I wouldn’t have any idea what’s going on in the world. It works really for me and I don’t have a problem with ads like others have mentioned. Much more convenient than the regular site. ### 5/5 — Fark this! *2018-12-04, version 2.11* I almost put my eye out with it! Noodles64 ### 5/5 — The best news app *2018-11-05, version 2.11* If you love Fark you’ll love the Fark app. ### 5/5 — A must for the mobile farker *2018-10-28, version 2.11* The interface is an excellent mobile interface to the Fark website for the farker on the go. Or on the couch. I particularly like the alert system. You can tune it to both headlines and replies to your posts in the comments. I use it every day. ### 5/5 — Most fun I have in the bathroom! *2018-10-24, version 2.11* Love me some Fark! ### 5/5 — Fark is awesome! *2017-08-06, version 2.02* Antidote to fake news, global community, the smartest people I've ever known putting in their snarky $2 worth. Priceless! ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2017-06-12, version 2.0.1* Kind of like Reddit but the commenters aren't all horribly annoying a-holes. ### 5/5 — Works really well... *2017-06-05* ...I waste my time, should get a job. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-04-26, version 2.0.1* I love Fark, and this is a great way to access it. Clean interface, does what I need it to without clutter or crashing. Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
