### 1/5 — Censorship

*2026-07-08, version 4.3*

I wrote an honest review on one of their subjects, they didn’t block my comment. But they edited my words to suit them.

They will slam Apple, and then lift them again. Honestly, they are day traders that think they can make Apple go up and down so they can buy and sell. 😂😂😂

### 1/5 — Censorship

*2026-06-18, version 4.3*

I wrote my honest review on one of their subjects, they didn’t block my comment. But they edited my words to suit them. I straight up block would not have been totally welcome. But they changed my words to suit their vibe. Dude, I got “China-ed” by a so called USA company that supports what ever dribble falls out of Trumps mouth.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-03-25, version 4.3*

Really terrible app on an iPad Pro. No longer loading articles. When it did numerous pop-up ads overlayed the stories making it very annoying to read them. One month and still not fixed. Reloaded the app and still not working. Cannot recommend this app to anyone.

### 1/5 — Abandoned App?

*2026-03-22, version 4.3*

This app stopped updating about a month ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-03-16, version 4.3*

The App is no longer working. No longer getting daily news.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-02-27, version 4.3*

Really terrible app on an iPad Pro. No longer loading articles. When it did numerous pop-up ads overlayed the stories making it very annoying to read them. 22 days and still not fixed. Cannot recommend this app to anyone.

### 5/5 — End of Life? No.

*2026-02-25, version 4.3*

Older review below. 

I got a reply today (2/25/26) saying they are aware of the issue with this app and will be updating it soon. 

Prior review:

This app appears to be totally unsupported. 

No new articles have been delivered for over two weeks. 

Numerous messages to the management have not even brought a reply. 

I’ve been using this app for years and I really miss it. 

The MacDailyNews website still works.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-02-23, version 4.3*

Update 2-23-26:
The app goes
Unsupported with not updates in about 3 weeks now. They still have a substack and are current there. 
———————-
Update 10-23-15: comments and share still crash the app. Unbelievable.
-------------
UPDATE 7-31-15: And the update for iOS 8 still crashes...
-----------
I love Macdailynews the web site. But this app is really not cutting it, especially on the iPad. Poor formatting, really slow, unable to resume where you left off in the article list, crashes when you try to share, unable to post comments... What can I say? Perhaps you should get some clues from Pulse News?... When I use my iPad to read and research, it needs to add something to the laptop/desktop experience - typically that is speed and immediacy of access, great overview of the content available, etc. in this case, it's so far from it it makes me wonder who's thinking what here?... Please try again?... 2 stars for content.

### 1/5 — App Seems to Have Been Abandoned

*2026-02-22, version 4.3*

Stories don’t load at all. I have tried deleting the App and reloading but nothing works.

### 1/5 — App stopped updating articles

*2026-02-20, version 4.3*

App hasn’t updated articles in 15 days. And, no response to an email to support regarding this in nearly a week. Used to be a good app but it has stopped working.
