### 3/5 — Wish there were a better search function

*2026-03-13, version 1.28.0*

I downloaded the app because I can’t view the website on my phone through all of the crazy pop up ads. One of the things the app doesn’t do that the website does is allow you to search keywords for lists in which the keywords are ranked. 

On the website, for example, if I search “The Nutcracker,” I’ll see lists about The Nutcracker as well as lists like “best ballets,” where it ranks #5 (or whatever). The app will only show me lists with it in the list name.

### 3/5 — Blank screen ruins browsing

*2026-01-05, version 1.28.0*

I’ll admit, I was beyond excited when I saw there was finally an app for one of my all time favorite websites. The day had finally arrived when I could browse Ranker via an app and I was being ecstatic. So why 3 stars instead of 5? Two reasons. 1) I went through and very carefully selected my interests but every time I open the app, none of my interests are on the home page. It’s always tv/movie related content, none of which I follow. If my custom content would pop up (instead of me having to go digging for it). 2) When I’m going through a list, I inevitably get a blank screen at some point. I have to go back a page, then guessed again to finish reading the list I was just on.  This happens every single time I view a list, and usually when I’m halfway to three quarters of the way through the list I’m reading. When I go back, then forward again, it never puts me back to the spot I was reading, rather it puts me back to the earlier items u was reading. Super frustrating. If these two things were fixed, this app would be perfection. Until then, 3 stars.

### 4/5 — Save Articles and Make Lists

*2025-09-12, version 1.27.0*

I love the wide range of topics Ranker offers! I do wish I could save articles and create lists!

### 2/5 — Update issues.

*2025-01-29, version 1.23.0*

I absolutely love ranker. I read different lists almost very night to fall asleep. I downloaded the app because the website tends to have to many ads. The setup of the app is great. But the problem is it never updates. I never look up anything specific. I just find what looks interesting. My favorite is weird history. But I’ll go to that section and it’s always the same lists. It never refreshes to new content. So after a week or two the app is kinda pointless unless you want to scroll forever to find new content.

### 2/5 — Updates

*2025-01-28, version 1.23.0*

Stories haven’t changed in a long time. The app used to be good but needs refreshing

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2024-11-13, version 1.20.0*

Would love this app if two things were improved/added:

The app is glitchy, pages don’t fully load, sometimes you need to scroll a page up and down to see the whole article, stuff like that. 
PLEASE fix the bugs!!

Second, there needs to be a way to save your favorite articles/lists. 
PLEASE add this feature. 

Thanks 🍻

### 4/5 — Only problem I have

*2024-08-11, version 1.20.0*

The only problem I have is I wish there was a place to save some of the lists in the app instead of having to email them to myself. If there could be a save list feature it would be perfect!
Thank you for an otherwise fun and entertaining app.

### 4/5 — love it but nothing loads now?

*2023-11-13, version 1.14.0*

this is definitely one of my favourite time wasters but in the past week or so the articles won’t load. doesn’t matter from what category, i’ve updated the app and then when that didn’t fix it i deleted and reinstalled but still nothing ☹️

pls fix! 😭

### 4/5 — I love this app but…

*2023-11-09, version 1.14.0*

Recently, every time I click on any list to read, it takes me to a blank screen and just stays there. I have restarted my phone, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, to no avail. Blank white screen every time I click on a list. I wait for it to load and it doesn’t.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2023-11-08*

Downloaded the app thinking it was going to be just as good as the website. Everything works fine, the only issue I have is when I search a topic and try and open an article. Nothing loads.

I have tried closing the app completely and reopening. Iv tried deleting the app and redownloading but nothing seems to fix or make it work. 

Will unfortunately be removing the app and sticking to the website.

### 4/5 — Problems

*2023-11-07*

I read every night before bed but, now there are so many issues. I click on something and nothing shows up! Frustrating! Update please. Otherwise I absolutely LOVE reading the articles

### 2/5 — Interesting at First

*2023-05-29, version 1.11.1*

This is a fun app so long as you are a fanboy of MCU.  Otherwise not so much.  The other categories rarely, if ever, update.

Otherwise “same-o same-o” for the non-MCU fanboys.

### 4/5 — Ads :(

*2023-05-23, version 1.11.1*

Can barely make it thru an article without ads

### 4/5 — So close!

*2023-01-19*

I’ll admit, I was beyond excited when I saw there was finally an app for one of my all time favorite websites. The day had finally arrived when I could browse Ranker via an app and I was being ecstatic. So why 4 stars instead of 5? I went through and very carefully selected my interests but every time I open the app, none of my interests are on the home page. It’s always tv/movie related content, none of which I follow. If my custom content would pop up (instead of me having to go digging for it), the app would be perfection. Until then, 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2022-12-25, version 1.9.1*

My literally only critique of this app is that there isn’t a dark mode. Otherwise, 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Invalid request?

*2022-10-15, version 1.9.0*

I am here to second Mademanticore’s Tuesday review. For the last week and a half or so, I can’t get any results when I go to the categories. I can open the categories, but as soon as it pops up, it says invalid request and shows a totally blank screen below. I have an iPhone 13 running on iOS 16.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2024-01-28*

Stories haven’t changed in a long time. The app used to be good but not worth using now with dried up content

### 1/5 — Isnt loading properly

*2023-11-13, version 1.14.0*

I love this app use it foe my nighttime reading but when I click on Amy art I can its just coming up a blank page and isnt loading anything 😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Went to crap

*2023-11-11, version 1.14.0*

Won’t load anything anymore, I was super excited about this app and read nightly until a few days ago when most would not load, now none will, shame because this would be my night time app and smoke breaks app

### 1/5 — Poor User experience

*2023-07-03, version 1.12.0*

Cannot select or delete stories not interested

### 1/5 — No dark mode?

*2023-04-14, version 1.10.0*

In 2023??? Come on guys, sheesh

### 1/5 — Invalid request

*2022-10-16, version 1.9.0*

I can’t do much as everything shows “invalid request”. At least the main page works! Except it’s *all* she-hulk nonsense. Gonna hang on to it a bit longer in hopes that it changes!

### 1/5 — Not like the Website

*2021-01-05, version 1.2.1*

This app won’t let you check up on your lists, or ad new ones. I thought apps for devices were supposed to be better than the browser sites they are based on!

### 1/5 — App skips to bottom every time

*2020-02-28*

The app has an annoying glitch that sends the page scrolling to the very bottom mid/read. So you lose your place and have to scroll back up all the time. 

Literally every article/list does it within moments.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2019-12-22*

You have to have an account to use it, for some reason. Just go to the website and use it without an account.

### 2/5 — Awful Search Results

*2026-03-28, version 1.28.0*

I love the rankings lists….but why is your search function the worst I’ve ever used. I so often have to go into Google and search a simple phrase to find the list I’m looking for. Yet, in app I can type the exact name of the specific list and it will give me everything else except what I want….it’s abysmal.

Good

### 5/5 — I like ranker app It’s cool and awesome

*2025-03-26, version 1.23.0*

I like ranker app it tells about the news and movies and what happens in the world and sometimes in space and planets

### 5/5 — Problems

*2024-04-12, version 1.17.0*

I read every night before bed. I absolutely LOVE reading the articles. Thank you for fixing the bugs!

### 5/5 — It’s what it’s supposed to be

*2023-08-08, version 1.14.0*

One of my favorite sites to frequent when I was a kid. Should be interesting do do rankings with the wife and kid.

### 5/5 — PLEASE…..

*2023-03-30, version 1.10.0*

I love this app. I’m constantly reading from it. But it would be FANTASTIC if we could save stories and articles to read later. Sometimes I’ll go back to continue reading and the app will refresh. And I can never find the article again. Just a little save button would be amazing

### 5/5 — I absolutely love ranker! I started off on the website and advancing technology brought me here (:

*2023-01-11, version 1.9.1*

<3

### 5/5 — Very Entertaining

*2022-11-29, version 1.9.1*

There are so many different topics to chose from. It’s almost impossible to be bored when you have Ranker. I love to read different lists or articles about things when I’m falling asleep, have time to kill or I want to learn something new. I recommend Ranker to pretty much anyone who will allow me to talk about it

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2022-09-05, version 1.8.0*

It very fun to just scroll and look

### 5/5 — Finally! (Update 2022)

*2022-08-11, version 1.8.0*

I’ve been waiting for them to create an app for this page and I’m so excited it’s finally happened. I absolutely love this webpage, it’s my favorite. I go through it every day and I always learn something new. I found it by accident one day and here I am still looking through it. Highly recommend going to this webpage/downloading this app. I love it!

Update; I really wish there was a dark mode on this. I love to browse this stuff at night and my god it's bright. But still love the app.

### 5/5 — Man it’s pretty good to be honest.

*2022-05-15, version 1.6.0*

Take all that clickbait crap on social media and minus all the pop ups, ads, and nonsense and you have what you wanted to read.
