Pourquoi ne pas offrir cette option? ### 2/5 — Hate the update *2021-05-01, version 4.0* I’m not certain if Narcity decided to go a different direction or not, but updating the app came with no warning. Sure it’s more stable, but no longer do you have the ability to log in and see saved content. Previous cities are no longer listed or available for search. The content is just . . . Random. No longer can this be considered a go to app for discovering your country or cities. Perhaps things are still in development but personally, I’d prefer the previous access to information. ### 4/5 — Needs dark mode! 🙏🏼 *2020-12-05, version 3.10.0* This is my main news app - I read it everyday! It only needs a dark mode option so I can keep reading even at low light ### 4/5 — Country settings *2020-06-14, version 3.0.4* I have to keep updating my location every time that I open the app, it shows US contents by default. ### 3/5 — Annoying function *2020-01-10, version 2.2.2* It’s a good app to easily access all the articles but there is one function that makes the app extremely annoying to use. While reading an article, if your finger move in any way to the left or right, the article leaves and you have to reload it from the top. I suggest changing the back and forward swipe functions to only trigger from the edges of the screen. ### 3/5 — Est ce que l’appli est gratuite ? *2019-09-24, version 2.1.1* Si non quels sont les frais a payer ? Merci ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-09-22, version 2.1.1* Perfect for torontarian, and good for trip suggestions. Just like insta page🤟🏻 ### 5/5 — Dernière version est A1 *2019-09-14, version 2.1.0* Bon contenu, beau design, félicitations aux développeurs et à l’équipe ### 5/5 — Limited cities *2019-09-13, version 2.1.0* Very limited cities... ### 5/5 — Yay!!! *2019-09-10, version 2.0.9* So exciting! ### 5/5 — Really cool for Texas news (: *2019-09-01, version 2.0.9* I find the best stuff ever with this app, I can’t wait until they expand all across the USA too! Love love love ### 5/5 — Smooth interface and relevant articles *2019-08-28, version 2.0.7* I love the new version of the app. The interface is intuitive and sleek, easy to navigate and well organized. The fact that you can tailor articles based on your tastes is really cool too. Good job Narcity. ### 5/5 — Super app *2019-08-27, version 2.0.7* La navigation est fluide, très agréable de lire les articles, pas de bugs, beaucoup d’informations utiles, chapeau :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-12-22, version 3.10.0* 😡 Don't waste your time. I gave it a try. Twice actually. Poor content (often stolen from other sources) most recommended places were out of business, outdated articles, photos used without consent. ### 1/5 — Je peux même pas lire les articles *2020-07-11, version 3.2.0* Ils ne chargent pas, je vois juste les noms!!! ### 1/5 — Trouble finding cities? *2020-07-07, version 3.1.0* I tried logging into the app and when searching for my city, I got the message it was having trouble finding cities and to try again later. Same message over a couple weeks. I just deleted it ### 1/5 — Bug bug et bug... *2020-06-14, version 3.0.4* Ne s ouvre pas, on tombe directement sur la page de bug! Je me connecte a l appli avec mon compte fb ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2020-06-05, version 3.0.3* It doesn’t accept half the information it’s asking for. Very user UNFRIENDLY. ### 1/5 — Needs more work *2020-01-04, version 2.2.2* I don't ever write reviews for apps but I was very disappointed. Narcity is a good blog to read on their website but this app needs a lot more work. #1 - Clicked a couple different articles and the entire article wasn't even there... (Maybe a glitch) #2 - Search tool: when searching for anything "where to eat" "fun stuff to do this weekend" etc the generator always give articles from months or years ago never recent and relevant content (also a website issue I find) #3 - I've also noticed over the past year or a bit more, there seems to be more news articles than actually stuff to go and see and do. I use to love reading up on what I can do in the city or GTA this up coming weekend during the week while sitting in my office. There use to be a lot more content before about "things to do" "things to see" now it's very news/politically focused. (I don't think anymore cares about the chair girls court case anymore stop giving these types of people a platform please). Side note a lot of the way content is put out gives "6ixBuzz" vibes. Not really liking this change that happened over the years... This use to be/kinda still is a really good blog but definitely needs more work and structure. Please go back to the old way you folks use to release content give us more about the positive side of things, more about stuff to do, see and eat! ### 1/5 — ??? *2019-09-27, version 2.1.1* I selected Vancouver in my cities and I'm still getting stuff from other cities. Fix it? ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2019-08-23, version 2.0.4* I have downloaded this app TWICE , it says to log in with either phone number or email . I have entered the code for phone number around EIGHT times (each time a new code because it takes me back to the “log in” screen) I’ve even tried with email twice .. All it will show me is the log in page .. very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Please stop the app from freezing *2019-03-23, version 2.0.4* I like the app I like the articles but it’s constantly freezing so I can’t scroll Please fix this and until you do I won’t be using the app I have officially deleted the app and will not be re downloading it until the freezing and crashing problems are addressed and taken care of ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2019-02-13, version 2.0.4* After downloading the app, it asks me to login with either my mobile number or email. Neither works. Says "system error". ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good reporting *2025-03-29, version 1.3* Sure Narcity does inform us of recalls which are very good and tells us in Quebec of places in Ontario that we would have to drive to if we were ambitious, however, there’s absolutely no news about Donald Trump and that’s great ### 5/5 — Great, user friendly *2020-11-07, version 3.8.0* A new uses, I’m enjoying the stores and news. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2020-07-31, version 3.3.0* Love their instagram page ### 5/5 — Bug règler *2020-06-18, version 3.1.0* De retour et fonctionne parfaitement ### 5/5 — Narcity app *2020-06-08, version 3.0.3* Love this app, great articles and I’m always finding new and interesting things to read! Keep it up narcity team! ### 5/5 — User friendly *2020-06-08, version 3.0.3* Love the app. It’s pretty user friendly. I like how how you can choose which city you want to look up. ### 5/5 — Best thing ever *2020-06-06, version 3.0.3* My life is complete thanks to this app, truly inkredible ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-06-06, version 3.0.3* Works well :) i like it ### 5/5 — Thanks Narcity *2020-04-06, version 2.2.8* I love this app , very detailed and shows there is a lot or cool things to do in the world than we realize ### 5/5 — Morning read *2020-01-28, version 2.2.2* I love this Narcity it is great to read in the morning.
