Frustrating

I like reading the news at Rappler but the ads are so distracting that it gets frustrating.

Notifications, web wrapper

It would be best if articles, when loaded, don’t behave and look as if it’s in a in-app web browser wrapper. And please, allow us to toggle which kinds of notifications we want to receive (e.g. just the breaking news, maybe politics as well, and disable those from features, sports, etc.)

paid subscribers still get ads

pretty self explanatory

Almost good

Could have been a good news app if not for the ads that eat up the entire screen, while reading contents get pushed down to make space for more ads, and as you scroll down, ads block your view, leaving behind a pathetic small space to see the text.

Full of Ads; no space to read news.

The app is full of ads. There is barely enough room to read news articles and contents.

paid subscription has ads

UI is not very user friendly, and there are tons of ads even with a paid subscription which is outrageous. cancelling

Lags and no dark mode

App takes a while to respond and it would really help light sensitive users if you’ll add a dark mode.

Bias

News reporting is not balanced.

Unusable

Links to articles don’t load or stuck in advertising. Constantly asking to sign in. The site/app makes reading unenjoyable so it makes me reluctant to have to pay if the site is badly managed

Stuck in “Syncing your conversations”

Can’t even open the app. Fail

Add dark mode it’s 2024 bruh

Add darkmode

Biased and politically self serving

Rappler is widely known as a political media weapon of the Philippine Oligarchs.

Constant updates??

What’s with these constant updates? Bad UX.
