Journalism was always very biased but had some interesting articles so was part of my regular routine. Now requires paying so will be deleting for good. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-07-27, version 2026.6.0* New video pop-up ads take up almost half my screen. ### 1/5 — Pop up slop video *2026-07-27, version 2026.6.0* Pop up video blocks news articles, with no way to close the video. Are there any UI designers working for this organization? ### 1/5 — I see enough advertising *2026-07-27, version 2026.6.0* I loved this app, and then you had to start charging. I guess all those advertisements I muddled through didn't pay the bills, huh? I'm so up to there with everyone having their hand out at me! Off to MSNOW app until they do the same. ### 1/5 — Bad upgrade *2026-07-27, version 2026.6.0* App has so many pop ups and ads now, one can hardly read the articles ### 1/5 — Fraud alert *2026-07-26, version 2026.6.0* It claims there is a free option for the link, but it is not an option on any link I hit. False advertising. ### 1/5 — Not worth minimum $10 *2026-07-25, version 2026.6.0* I cannot believe that a site that I would come to over the years to read some brief articles. I could not imagine paying the $20 full access let alone $10 access or even a $.01 version as there are 100 other great news apps that do not try to rip off their few loyal glancers. I would say readers but no article on this site can’t be fully read in 2-3 mins tops. Really sad and a terrible PR MOVE unless they are already going down they may be trying to make a buck on the way down. ### 1/5 — WTF!!! *2026-07-24, version 2026.6.0* I have to pay now? Goodbye ### 1/5 — Subscription required *2026-07-24, version 2026.6.0* Apparently you now need a subscription to use this app and they never told us. How can you claim to be “News” if you paywall the “news”? It can’t be important news or else it wouldn’t be paywalled. No stars for oligarchs. One star required to leave a review ### 2/5 — Can’t just read articles *2026-07-19, version 2026.6.0* What’s up with all the music playing? Just want to read the articles without noise. I have to turn volume off to do so. Very annoying, make me not pay for subscription. ### 1/5 — These people are weird *2026-07-19, version 2026.6.0* I wanted to give this site a chance, and I did for a good 1-2 months or so, but there’s just some creepy stuff going on in these people still. I thought those days were over or at least coming to a close, they are absolutely not…. Sheesh.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t pay *2026-08-23, version 2026.7.1* Not worth it ### 1/5 — No real news *2026-08-22, version 2026.7.1* They haven’t had any real news for years. Just a synopsis of other reports work and now they want $10 a month for their garbage. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying a dime *2026-08-21, version 2026.7.1* Every single article is behind a paywall Bye bye ### 1/5 — No access to content *2026-08-21, version 2026.7.1* Despite contributing $10 a month the website keeps me locked out of content. Please correct! ### 1/5 — What?? *2026-08-20, version 2026.7.1* Can’t read any articles even though I am paying $5 a month. Don’t know what’s wrong or how to correct it. ### 1/5 — Thank you HuffPost *2026-08-20, version 2026.7.1* I am very grateful you’ve begun to start charging for articles on the HuffPost app (not the website, mind you—such a brilliant business decision). Unable to afford every paywall, I can now concentrate solely on my New York Times subscription and give up your National Enquirer-esque click-bait style journalism. I feel like a monkey has been lifted from my shoulders and truly appreciated you helping me remove your app with the relief of giving up a truly bad habit. Many thanks. ### 1/5 — Application is not synchronized with membership. *2026-08-18, version 2026.7.1* I donate ten dollars a month. It doesn’t appear that your application is synchronized with my donation. Is there another payment option. I just had the money deducted on August 10th ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2026-08-18, version 2026.7.1* Huffpost used to be different in that they used to allow reading articles with adds.Now they charge a variety of tiers. It's not worth it. There are several other news apps. These apps provide better news and less fluff.Often no cost ### 1/5 — Long time reader *2026-08-18, version 2026.7.1* After years of enduring broken links and just a poorly run site, you’re now going to limit free stories to 3? I’ve been using this app for years (decades?). If I’m going to pay for a site, it won’t be this one and another viewer will disappear from your viewership. ### 1/5 — The app logs me out *2026-08-06, version 2026.6.0* I have to log in again after each article ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Range. *2026-08-26, version 2026.7.1* Wide range of stories - well written and presented ### 5/5 — Keeps me up-to-date *2026-08-23, version 2026.7.1* I really can’t stomach what’s going on in the political world today, however, I need to keep up with as many issues as I can because of my need to understand current events. So I’m able to read the headlines in the HuffPost every day, and it gives me a wonderful insight to what’s going on, and if there’s a story, I’m interested in it’s always beautifully written on HuffPost. Thank you, HuffPost. ### 5/5 — Important news *2026-08-23, version 2026.7.1* A great source for news ### 5/5 — independent *2026-08-18, version 2026.7.1* we need to support free press! good daily source of information. ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-16, version 2026.7.1* Glad to receive updates news!!! ### 5/5 — Gripping *2026-08-08, version 2026.6.0* I am thrilled to read HuffPost. I agree and trust the reporting. Sure it's biased. But not without HuffPost is not without facts. I am gratrful for more knowledge. I have criticsl thinking skills! ### 5/5 — Information one can trust *2026-07-22, version 2026.6.0* I trust the information on Huffington. I also like that most information is given in a straightforward and plain way. ### 5/5 — Journalism, not propaganda *2026-07-17, version 2026.6.0* True journalism and reporting are the only tools we have to be an educated electorate (esp since this country devalues and eliminates education). Stay out of the dark - the light of responsible journalism is our only way forward when under fascist, anti-american rule. ### 5/5 — Love Huff Post *2026-07-17, version 2026.6.0* I love the truth telling headlines, honest stories and so much more! Bravo! ### 5/5 — Reliable Media *2026-07-05, version 2026.5.0* HuffPost is one of the most reliable and trustworthy media. I depend on its journalism to keep me aware of what is actually going on. Bravo! Keep up the good work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
