Censorship
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. 😂😂😂

Censorship
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.

App not working
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.
Abandoned App?
This app stopped updating about a month ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still doesn’t work.
Update
The App is no longer working. No longer getting daily news.

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.

Disappointing
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.

App Seems to Have Been Abandoned
Stories don’t load at all. I have tried deleting the App and reloading but nothing works.
App stopped updating articles
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.
No new news
It has been 14 days since I had gotten any news via this app.
nothing had updated for weeks
I noticed nothing was updating for weeks.
App no longer updating
No new articles syncing since more than a week ago.
App Doesn’t Update
The last article to upload to the app was February 4, 2026 at 5:15pm - please fix
Needs big update
I like the timeliness and the content here. But the site is very slow to update, and badges no longer appear on the icon. Perhaps it’s a bandwidth problem. But an update is certainly needed.
It started good and is getting worse with each update
The rebuilt app was a good move in the beginning and provided a more consistent user interface. Now it’s just getting worse each release with pop up ads taking over the whole screen, the menu bar header is right in the middle of the screen - clearly a bug - but this is an indication of poor testing process! Cookie acceptance pop up that won’t close no matter how many times you click the close and accept button. It’s becoming impossible to read any of the articles without accidentally tapping on an ad you have no interest in or trying to scroll so the menu isn’t in the way.
Please improve your testing before you release an update or hire some professionals that know how to test. Go back to your requirements and think about usability a little more before launching all the click bait ads and pop ups.

brilliant analysis marred by pro-Trump leanings
Excellent analysis and humourous commentary on all things Mac.
Sadly a quiet haven of pro-Trump sentiment, born out by the fact that T. is still referred to—14 months after losing the vote—in their headlines as "President Trump", then in the article as "former President Trump". Tricky guys, bet no one notices that...
How can they be smart enough to make these canny takes on the Mac market place yet still be suckers for the country's greatest grifter?

Agree that redirects to AppStore are bad
November 2020 update: The app continues to pop up a message about how bad things are, and it does it for every article. Unfortunately, the developer hasn’t learned, and it is time to uninstall the application. Instead of whining about how bad advertising rates are, how about building a subscription model into the application? $0.99/month or $9/year and it gets rid of all of the ads. While it doesn’t have the progressive, wokeness of so much of Big Tech, I’m tired of seeing the same old “sky is falling” message on every article I click on.
April 2020 update: The app now pops up a message that advertising rates are bad and to please support them. I don’t mind a pop up for the first article that I click on until the next time that I open up the app, but it is repeated over and over for each new article that I click on. For that reason, I’m dropping my ranking from 5 stars to 2 stars. I’m sorry they’re having difficulty but popping up the same message over and over again is not the way to solve the problem.
I am pleased to say that I can raise my ranking to 5 stars from the previous 3 stars. The reason? The ads are much improved and no longer have their obnoxious behavior.
Old version of the review; no longer applicable:
I am finally coming to the conclusion after constantly being sent into the AppStore while trying to read articles that it is time to uninstall and use a browser like Blaze to read MacDailyNews. Like others, I might be willing to pay $1.99 to remove ads. I abhor the switch to the AppStore. If I can be assured that it has been corrected, I will reload it.
