iPhone app is awesome, but the Mac version needs to be so much better!!!
The Mac store app version of I clarified is refusing to download every time I even had to restart my computer. You need to find some way to fix this ASAP. It won’t even do anything on the current version of macOS 26.!!!! although to be relevant the iOS and the iPadOS version work wonderful

Love(d) it!
Update: Quite literally days after I posted my previous (below) review, you broke it… seriously?! I tried sending an email to support, no response, nothing. Cmon y’all this is horrible… Please fix. It still gets notifications, but the app won’t load and just appears blank… :( Old review: This app is one of the very few that still work on my iPhone 5, 6.1.4. It shows how long I’ve had it and used it. I’m writing this from my 1st gen SE since the 5 will no longer connect to App Store, (thx apple😒), but the articles and writers are great, it has stood the test of time, and will continue to always be a favorite for me for tech news. Please don’t ever change anything server-side though, to break compatibility with 6.1.4, it would be very sad to lose another long standing app. Thank you all at iClarified!

Not working
It’s working as if the system is down
Just nope!
Why does your app crash ever time I try and post a comment? Stupid.

Very good

Great app tec news
I like using this app to get my daily dose of technology news tutorial. They’re always current reference information and accurate without being biased.
This app uses an insane amount of ad/tracking/fingerprinting/telemetry companies it’s actually crazy
This “news app” is just a thin veil for the most invasive ad spyware I’ve ever seen. Simply opening the app causes connections to all the following companies (and sending your data to them):
Core Ad Exchanges / Bidding Networks
These are the backbones of real-time bidding (RTB), meaning every time you open the app your device is thrown into a live auction where advertisers bid for your eyeballs:
• openx.net
• rubiconproject.com / pubmatic.com / pubnet.com
• adnxs.com (Xandr/AppNexus)
• bidswitch.net
• doubleclick.net / googlesyndication.com (Google’s ad empire)
• amazon-adsystem.com (Amazon DSP)
• criteo.com
• teads.tv
• undertone.com
2. User Sync / Cross-Device Tracking
These domains are syncing IDs between different ad platforms, ensuring they can track you across apps, devices, and even into the web:
• gumgum.com
• tapad.com
• 1rx.io
• deepintent.com
• stackadapt.com
• ipredictive.com
• intentiq.com
• 33across.com
• tynt.com
3. Ad Serving + Behavioral Targeting
• adthrive.com (publisher-side ad management, heavily used by content sites)
• yieldmo.com (mobile ad formats & engagement tracking)
• kargo.com (high-impact mobile ads)
• dotomi.com (Oracle BlueKai legacy behavioral targeting)
• contextweb.com / socdm.com / smartadserver.com (supply-side ad serving)
• between.digital / postrelease.com (native ads disguised as content)
4. Brand Safety, Fraud & Metrics Vendors
Not there to protect you — but to ensure advertisers aren’t being scammed:
• scorecardresearch.com (ComScore) → behavioral analytics
• brandmetrics.com → ad effectiveness studies
• confiant-integrations.net → scans for “bad ads” but also fingerprints you
• adtrafficquality.google → fraud detection for Google Ads
5. Infrastructure / Hosting
• akamai.net / akamaiedge.net → CDN delivery of both legitimate content and ad payloads
• cloudfront.net (Amazon CDN) → same, lots of ad payloads delivered via CDN to evade filters
• azure.com → app hosting / telemetry
The iClarified app is a full-blown ad-tracking ecosystem
• Your device is fingerprinted, IDs are synced, and your profile is sold in real time to dozens and dozens of bidders.
Don’t use their app, just use their website. This level of user tracking shouldn’t be allowed.

Beautiful and functional
I use iClarified every day as a source of information about Apple and the tech world in general. iClarified has saved me time and money by showing me what the best deals available are and how to use them. I highly recommend downloading this app and adding the widget.
Complete Garbage
Doesn’t even launch. Malware right here. Don’t trust this junk!
Love it!
This app is one of the very few that still work on my iPhone 5, 6.1.4. It shows how long I’ve had it and used it.

Fixed!!
For some time, this app didn’t perform well. I don’t know what was done but the issues appear to have been fixed.
I can finally start using this app again.
I can finally start using this app again.
Can’t scroll down!!!
It’s been ages where you can’t scroll down the page inside any article. How can the developers still not notice this???
Freezes
Used to love this app but for months now whenever you open a story it just freezes so you can’t scroll down the article. Come on guys it’s been like this for months!!
Buggy can’t read pages
There is a bug that freezes the screen and you can’t scroll down
Needs major update to keep up with the changing times
The app needs a major update kind of like the iOS updates to keep up with the changing times after all, no one likes being left behind or out of touch or date. I’m just saying it could use a few more improvements and features.
App crashing
App crashes every single time that I click on an article and open the app after a few moments or so the Apple automatically disappear and crash I’ll have to always open the app again to read article all the way through for some reason I’m on 17.4 update for iOS and the app should be all the way updated to the latest update on the iClarified app.

Extremely slow gets connection error
The App nowadays is extremely slow and every time gets connection error and have to retry couple of times to see the content. Extremely pathetic.
Notifications are not displaying with the current app, software, or the current iOS
Notifications won’t display at all. I have done everything I can think of I’ve turned off notifications, then turned them on, and I have removed the app from my library after signing out and then reinstalling it and logging in and then turning on notifications after reinstalling it and I am on the current iOS 17.2.1 and the app is currently up-to-date software wise. You need to work with iClarified to fix this Apple!!
