I uninstalled it immediately ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2015-08-28* "Hot Air" is a site for boring writers like Ed Morrissey who support illegal alien amnesty. This app looks like it was made on the cheap. Hard to navigate, full of annoying ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2017-12-22, version 2.0* App doesn’t work and doesn’t display anything ### 1/5 — Please update app *2017-10-04* Now that Apple updated to 11 I can’t open HotAir. Please update so I can stay up to date. ### 1/5 — Dreadful ads! *2016-04-13* So sick of loud, unavoidable ads. Uninstalled, won't be back! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Good app but needs to be updated *2014-12-21, version 1.1* Ads are easier to deal with here than the mobile website. It probably needs an update for ios8 and the ability to play embedded videos. Almost all videos that are embedded in the blog posts don't display in the app. You need to open those postings in safari to view them. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2013-04-12, version 1.0.0.98* Glad to see one of my favorite websites with an app finally. Works great so far. I know this is only the first issue, so I'm looking forward to tweaks and updates as well as an iPad version. ### 3/5 — Inbox errors *2017-09-17, version 1.1* Why is it I get an "inbox error" every time I start this app? Either have a messaging system or don't. ### 3/5 — Finally!! *2013-08-10, version 1.0.2* So far, my only suggestion is paging the comments. It looks good. Hoping for paging of comments. Hard to use this app without it. See Michelle Malkin's app...please. ### 2/5 — Hardly mobile friendly *2022-01-01, version 2.1* Can barely read the text. Make more mobile responsive! ### 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. ### 2/5 — Great content, horrendous ads Ads *2015-02-23, version 1.1* Please offer a paid version so I don't have repeated, horrendous ads ruining my reading experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
