Your app has been on the store for years! ### 3/5 — Needs a search function! *2023-11-29* The title says it all. My rating would have been 5 stars otherwise! ### 3/5 — Great, but a search or filter feature would be amazing. *2023-02-17* The app has a fairly clean UI and offers the latest iDB blogs right in the app, which makes browsing through iDB for various purposes very quick and easy. I like it. ### 3/5 — Really Needs a Search Function. *2022-10-13* I’ve been using iDownBlog website since the beginning. And I love their app! But I really think they need to add a search function to their application, so that this way we can search for certain articles, tutorials etc. So that way I can bookmark them. Because the only way to search for a specific article is if you go to their actual website thru a browser and search for it. But then you don’t have the ability to bookmark the articles, unless you want to save and have a bunch of bookmarks saved in your browser. So if you you’re team could add a search function to the application, then it would make the app perfect. Then I would definitely change my star rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. Especially since I’m already paying almost $10 just so I can have unlimited bookmarks and no ADs. It would literally be the least you could do to add to your application, especially for paid users. Other then that the application is near perfect. ### 3/5 — Great buuuut 🙁 *2021-04-09* There’s always super cool apps like these but they always want people to pay! It’s so uncool I and when I first got the app it was not organized there was all these apps in my face, don’t even know what to click on. It was stressful. But overall it was pretty cool. ### 2/5 — The site is better *2019-11-06* No search function?! ### 4/5 — 4 STARS *2019-10-20* Only giving 4 stars because there’s no IPad app. Been using this app for years waiting for an iPad update but nope no iPad update thanks. ### 4/5 — All I want for Christmas is.. *2019-10-19* .. the ability to close a News by swiping down from top to bottom. The same way the AppStore is handling popups. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-10-19, version 2.0* Great update after 2.0, awesome ### 5/5 — New design is muuuuuch better *2019-10-19* Love the new app. Way easier to navigate and doesn’t feel thrown together like the previous one. Nice work. ### 5/5 — App is great for overall apple news *2019-10-19* The app is great for constant updates on apple news and great for deals on tech. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful App *2025-08-19* Love iDB, but the app is junk. Don’t waste $ on the IAP. Never App never gets updated and ads can’t be closed without closing and restarting the app. No search capability too. ### 1/5 — Super sketchy update. *2020-06-13* SEEMS LIKE THIS APP IS PHISHING. Constantly asks for my Apple ID password no matter how many times I say cancel. Not a problem with the Apple ID. I’m a professional electronics repair technician. Something is off about that. Uninstalled this app after years of having it. ### 1/5 — Sensorship *2020-02-20, version 2.3.2* Say something they disagree with and you’re banned for life. ### 1/5 — Poor advertising *2019-12-13* A search for phone wallpapers brought me to this app and I downloaded it. I'm sure I'd be able to find some nice content but the lack of search function (which is crazy on any blog or forum all) made that impossible. The ad laiden ui is also a deterrent for potential new users. ### 1/5 — iPad Support *2019-11-03, version 2.2* No iPad Pro 11 support ### 1/5 — iOS compatibility change! *2019-10-19, version 2.0* So disappointing and frustrating that the app now supports iOS 11 and higher devices! It’s a shame because I would’ve love to try out the new version on my iOS 10.3 device! I would appreciate it if the next update would support iOS 10 devices again! ### 1/5 — Tinder *2019-09-13, version 1.4.5* Is this tinder for iPhones?? Love the site hate the app. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-08-31, version 1.4.4* I honestly want to give it a 0 star. It says that it downloads twitter dm videos but it does not. It is not an app that does it. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2019-08-09, version 1.4.4* I have played games that have a add every single time you die and they make it incredibly hard to you die in See more ads and this app is outrageously filled with ads Do you see an ad like every two swipes and the most infuriating part is it none of it is relevant so when you trying to find me it’s relevant to you it’s like now you got a watch an ad so Have fun ### 1/5 — Not worth the time *2019-04-27, version 1.4.4* This app sucks! I downloaded it and tried to transfer my music from SoundCloud to my iPhone ( like it says it is designed for) And it would not let me!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — new tab *2022-02-05* Set a separate tab for wallpapers ### 5/5 — So much great information! *2020-11-08* Worth the subscription. Lots of wallpapers, tips. ### 5/5 — Good app but I have a suggestion. *2020-06-26* Instead of having an ad pop up taking up the whole screen. Would you be able to make it one of the cards as you're sliding on by the articles? It would make it An over all better experience. Updated review: This app is so much better now without the cards for swiping through articles. It makes me actually want to use the app instead of the website. The options, to bookmark, share, comment, and text all on the bottom on the article is genius. Dark mode looks good and sleek. I think the only thing to improve the app would to be a search function and categories like on your website. Otherwise fantastic job!!! ### 5/5 — Great website & app *2020-05-22* Very happy with their info. I have been a follower for a while and I am still coming back on daily basis after all of these years to get the latest news. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great update *2019-10-23* This version is a great refresh to the app. I would love to see the app adopt a true black for dark mode. The deep black looks gorgeous on the OLED screens. ### 5/5 — Just do it *2019-10-22, version 2.0* Great app for current content on everything Apple. Worthy of downloading. ### 5/5 — Who knew? *2019-10-21* The team at IDownloadBlog knew it was time for an update and they scored a touchdown/goal! I was hesitant to update to the 2.0 version due to potential bugs. However, I am glad I stayed committed to the new update as I have not had any foreseen issues. ### 5/5 — For a better dark mode *2019-10-21* It would be better if the dark mode use true black instead dark grey, but actually great update! Thanks.. ### 5/5 — Natural flow *2019-10-20, version 2.0* Excellent job Great app Great guys ### 5/5 — App looks sooo much better! *2019-10-20* The app looks great now. Before there was so much wasted space. Wow, what a difference. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
