And they are 50 sec to a minute long!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-06-21, version 1.8* The ads have always been too much but now they’re completely obnoxious. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2018-06-19, version 1.8* The ads & pop ups on this app result in the most horrific user experience ever. Quite a shame - used to be a great entertainment app. Wish there was the ability to give negative stars! ### 1/5 — Ads ruined this app *2018-06-16, version 1.8* Too many ads, it crashes and you can’t read or view anything without ads repeatedly popping up. Moving to TMZ ### 1/5 — Unusable *2018-04-02, version 1.8* Too bad you can’t read an article without at least 3 video ads interrupting, and eventually crashing the app every single time. Been a long time reader, but enough is enough, and deleted this headache of an app! ### 1/5 — Used to love this App *2018-04-01, version 1.8* I used to love this app, but now I can hardly use it. Ads pop up constantly and then the app closes. After trying several times to read stories, I give up. Please fix this app! It wasn’t always like this. ### 1/5 — pop up ads and videos have ruined app *2018-03-30, version 1.8* I Recently deleted this app because pop up videos have made it completely unusable you can’t even get through reading a sentence without a video shutting down the app. Even tried deleting it and re-downloading it. Same thing. ### 1/5 — What’s up with this app??? *2018-03-30, version 1.8* What’s up with the bombardment of ads? I clicked on a story to read 4 times and ads kept flashing on the screen and shut down the app? Had to delete it after many years of having this app on my phone to keep up on celebrity news. ### 1/5 — Ads have made this unusable *2018-03-19, version 1.8* I am completely fine seeing ads and understand that is part of the deal with a free app. However lately they have gotten out of control to the point where the app is usable. Every time you try to read a story, videos pop up halfway through and even once you close out of the ads things keep popping up to the point where you can't even get to the article. This is incredibly frustrating and an awful user experience. I used to love this app and I can't even stand to open it anymore. FIX THIS! ### 1/5 — I am deleting this app *2018-03-14, version 1.8* I am deleting this app. Too many pop up advertisements lately that won’t let you read a complete article any more. Ugghh!! So frustrating! ### 1/5 — For the Love *2018-02-03, version 1.8* Dear Perez, Please fix your app already! We can’t read your stories! The Ad’s are just too out of control! I feel as though I stumbled upon a porn site. Please, for the love! I’m deleting this app for now while you work through these issues. I love your lolz but there’s none of that here. Xoxox your fans ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2017-12-21, version 1.8* This app is terrible, nonstop adds everywhere popping up and it constantly goes to the App Store to sell you apps. You click to go back to the app and it just goes back to the App Store, this continues until it crashes. ### 1/5 — CRAP *2017-10-01, version 1.8* One of the worst apps ever. Everything you touch takes you to an ad or a pop up. It’s an absolute waste of time to download this crap. ZERO STARS ### 1/5 — Too much trash *2017-06-07, version 1.8* I downloaded because I used to read his website. I instantly deleted!!! It's all Kardashian! Ugh! No thank you! ### 1/5 — Perez free app *2016-02-21, version 1.8* This is a terrible app. What do I expect for a free app I guess. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-03-23, version 1.6* Horrible app. Needs a huge overhaul. ### 1/5 — Horrible Content *2015-01-20, version 1.6* Horrible app from a horrible person. I cannot condone keeping this app on my phone after his behavior on CBB. For someone who claims they changed their bullying ways, you couldn't prove it by his actions. ### 1/5 — Ads *2014-11-07, version 1.6* All I get is a pop ad for the doobie brothers that won't close out. Awesome app. Thanks a ton. ### 1/5 — New IOS *2014-10-15, version 1.6* I'm not sure if it's the new update but who else's app isn't even loading ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working anymore unfortunately *2023-09-19, version 1.8* Can’t access the app because it is not working. Actually the layout is very 2010’s, so it might not be a product Perez invests anymore. Sadly. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work anymore *2023-06-11, version 1.8* App is smaller than my phone with black bars on the top and bottom, and nothing loads. Has this been updated since 2011? ### 1/5 — Expected more *2021-10-22, version 1.8* Adds. Make. This. App. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Content free - just like man himself *2019-08-12, version 1.8* Open app Ad appears Dismiss ad Blank page appears Think: what else would I expect from this clown? ### 1/5 — App does not work *2018-10-10, version 1.8* Don’t waste your time downloading it. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2018-09-19, version 1.8* Do not pay for this app. One day it just stopped working without any notice. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-09-12, version 1.8* Won’t even load anymore on my phone. Such a disappointment considering it was my favorite app. ### 1/5 — Updated version? *2018-08-28, version 1.8* I heard Perez on his podcast talking about his revamped site, yet i cannot even seem to load any informationat all any more! I tried deleting and then reinstalling the app, but it seems unresponsive.. C’mon Perez! 1st a gazillion ads that hinder a fine reading experience, and now i cant even get that! Nothing! ### 1/5 — Fix your ap *2018-08-26, version 1.8* Pop ups are ridiculous!!! I can’t even get through one sentence and I have a pop up block everything. You close it only to have another one 10 seconds later. I also don’t like that you can only see about 10 stories. If I haven’t been on there for a week I would like to keep going just like tmz allows. ### 1/5 — Yes Annoying *2018-08-23, version 1.8* I agree with the other review. The pop up ads makes using this app a nightmare. It’s a shame really, I enjoyed it before the pop ups got so bad and now it irritates more than entertains. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I don't want to pay so I'll stay basic 🙋 *2014-05-11, version 1.3* Love and can keep up with the celebs thanks ### 5/5 — From the gods! *2014-05-07, version 1.3* Finally an app for the site! I've been asking for this foreverrrrrr! An essential to have on your phone if you want to keep up with the hollystars! ### 5/5 — Love this application! *2014-05-05, version 1.3* Love this app, five stars!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-01-30, version 1.0* This is a amazing app. No troubles uploading or anything 😜 ### 5/5 — Perez Hilton *2013-01-28, version 1.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-12, version 1.0* Best app ever, now I know what's going on out there ### 4/5 — Alright *2013-04-21, version 1.0* Not bad. I have just downloaded the app and am still checking it out - will update my review after some experience. ### 4/5 — Overall good app *2013-01-06* Ive been a fan of perez for years, and this app is a go to everyday for me. There are some bugs though; not all articles load so you can only reas about six or seven, and it crashes from time to time. Focus just needs to be on fixing the bugs before i buy the 1.99 version ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2016-02-24, version 1.8* Perez Hilton is my guilty, mindless pleasure- even though it is sometimes not updated all day, and I find the actual human kind of despicable, I do open this app a lot. Recently, though, it's been crashing and freezing if you try to open up a link from one story to another- becoming less of a guilty pleasure and just more of a bother. Meh. ### 2/5 — Uh oh *2014-10-13, version 1.4* I deleted this app about 6 months or so ago because of it crashing and the ridiculous amount of ads. I've been using the nipple site off the internet and decided to take a look-see to get an update. Looks like this app is still awful.
