Can’t even view a single story or front page ### 4/5 — Crashes *2020-05-05, version 3.1.1* The app crashes when I try to update/correct my profile information. Please fix in the next update. ### 4/5 — so far so good *2016-11-25, version 2.8* i decided to get the rappler app because the fb page just wasnt enough. in particular, i love the life & style section. i learn something new every day ### 4/5 — Previous version was better *2016-06-08, version 2.4.1* Overall a decent app for Philippines-based news articles but as they expanded their international coverage, the Philippine articles are harder to find in the mix. I usually use this app to find articles written by Philippine media and other apps for US/international news. The most recent version after updating only shows me articles from 2012, what gives? Please address these bugs. ### 1/5 — Keeps on crashing *2016-04-22, version 2.4.1* This app keeps on crashing and you can't log-in your account. Please fix those bugs ### 2/5 — Iphone 6 plus screen optimization. *2015-10-01, version 2.25* Please update optimazation for the iphone 6 plus screen. It feels like a blown up version from the iphone 5/5s ### 1/5 — Is a dedicated app really a necessity?? *2015-09-19, version 2.15* This is a classic example where the publisher pushed for the exclusive app instead of a fully functional and practical website. Do we really need to install a dedicated app to access the content of a website? I can't see any practical "features" for needing a separate app we need to install. Thumbs down. ### 1/5 — Was fine before update *2015-07-19, version 2.0* When I opened this app after downloading the recent update, I was shown a list of new features that were added. However, after swiping through all the listed features, I could not access the news articles on the regular home page. Can somebody tell me how I can fix this? ### 4/5 — iPad version pleaaaasseee! *2015-03-04, version 1.6.5* Make an iPad version please.. Thank You in advance and more power to you! ### 4/5 — Mood Meter *2015-02-03, version 1.6.2* I always love Rappler's mood meter :) You can already see the feelings/emotion of the readers. ### 3/5 — No iPad Version *2014-10-06, version 1.4.2* Hey Rappler, iPad version please! ### 2/5 — Good if it works. *2014-03-30, version 1.4.2* Slow.
