I’ll delete the app and just bookmark the website. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-01-26* I remember a year or so ago when this app was the best thing in my phone. Now when I want music news all I get are ad after ad. Try to open up an article, an add pops up. Try to read an article, ads are at the bottom. Needless to say I will be looking elsewhere for my music news from now on. ### 1/5 — Good app, worst app for updates *2021-02-15* Anytime I want to read a story you have to update the freaking app. All the time so annoying. ### 1/5 — Could you make the font any smaller *2021-02-13* I can’t read stuff this small. Why don’t you give us an option to increase the font size??? **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with our application!

But he’s dead. 😡 ### 2/5 — Is it a rock app? *2023-12-08* I feel like I downloaded a 90’s ad spam website with none stop pop up ads… trash IMO like loud wire, but I will stick to the radio thank you ### 2/5 — Great ad with horribly invasive ads *2022-11-13* Love Loudwire but can’t stand the pop up ads for mobile games that won’t go away unless you interact with them. It makes browsing articles incredibly tedious. ### 2/5 — Glitched *2022-01-26* The version on Android works just fine until the ads cover up the load more articles button. The version here on apple is horribly glitched and refuses to work properly. ### 2/5 — Too Many Popups *2019-08-17* Hard to scroll through without constantly being bombarded with pop ups. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with our application!

The ads are incredibly repetitious. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loudwire *2021-03-13* Great app, find great music news at my fingertips 🎵🤘🎸🥁 ### 5/5 — BUT *2020-02-19* The fux with the 3 sec megadeath trailer every 5 secs ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2019-07-26* A truly great app that has kept me current with the larger metal scene. One thing I would like to see added is following for specific bands to receive they’re news. ### 5/5 — Me *2017-11-23* Finally an app ### 5/5 — Solid *2017-11-08* Great site knows how to make a great app, impressed so far ### 4/5 — Brent *2020-05-09* Thanks for fixing it **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are encountering this issue!

Only problem I have with this app at all is I see some stuff on Facebook or hear about it before Loudwire tells me. Other than that it’s my daily driver ### 4/5 — Great app but ... *2019-06-25* Can we get the duplicate notifications fixed? I get every notification twice, and only with this app. Deleting and reinstalling didn’t fix. Otherwise five stars. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are encountering this issue!
