### 2/5 — Hardly mobile friendly

*2022-01-01, version 2.1*

Can barely read the text. Make more mobile responsive!

### 1/5 — Good-bye Never Trumper

*2020-04-10, version 2.1*

I’ve had enough of Allahpundit and his Never Trump crap. So long!

### 2/5 — Paywalls for everyone

*2019-11-11, version 2.1*

They used to be satisfied with ad revenue, but now most of their stories are “VIP” and hidden behind paywalls. 
I’m not interested in
Paying for an article that is based on other reporting from sites that themselves are behind paywalls.

### 2/5 — Horrible comment software

*2019-10-21, version 2.1*

Love the website. Do not like this app at all. It’s good for reading articles but if you wish to comment, I recommend you write it down somewhere and wait to get home on your actual computer. Mobile comments lock up, shut down, unable to edit, regardless of whether you use Facebook, Twitter, Disqus, etc.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2019-04-20, version 2.1*

Buggy and can’t post. Craptacular just like the mobile site. Worthy banner of the stupid party. Can’t get the simplest things right.

### 1/5 — Need to fix

*2019-01-19, version 2.1*

Open app first thing in the morning and then locks up the rest of the day. This happens every day. Fix it.

### 1/5 — Stopped Working

*2018-06-01, version 2.0*

It was a fine app but stopped working about a week ago. Won’t display anything. It did that from time to time, and I would have to close and reopen it, but now even that won’t work. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, bupkiss...

### 1/5 — What is wrong with you guys

*2018-05-30, version 2.0*

Been trying for weeks and there in nothing on the app.

### 1/5 — App won’t open on my iPhone 6

*2018-05-25, version 2.0*

Tried reinstalling and downloading app and it still won’t load content. Wheel just spins. Now it’s worthless.

### 1/5 — Content great, app not so much

*2017-12-22, version 2.0*

The previous version of the app was ok at best. New version looks nicer but doesn't like to refresh without closing and reopening app. Lately, app loads nothing at all. 

Mobile web version is the better choice although still not great. Desktop web version still best choice.
