### 2/5 — Update

*2021-11-03, version 5.4*

Not updating even after reloading

### 3/5 — Share links no longer work

*2021-03-31, version 5.2*

I can no longer share stories from the updated red state app

### 2/5 — Not working!

*2021-03-21, version 4.1*

C’mon folks....good news content but hasn’t uploaded anything new, it just changes the dates of the same things.

### 2/5 — Read the website instead.

*2020-09-16, version 4.1*

The app works, just not very well. Crashes on me a least one time per use of the app. Many times it crashes more than that. I tried reinstalling the app to no avail. I would just go to the website instead of using this crash-ridden app.

### 3/5 — Format for IPad

*2020-02-28, version 4.1*

Seems the content of the story is not formatted correctly to view in portrait mode on IPad. Have to switch to landscape mode to fully view the articles

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2016-10-08, version 2.2*

The data feed is empty. No articles are shown

### 1/5 — Zero articles. Does NOT Work

*2016-04-17, version 2.2*

Hey authors, the deed that your app pulls from is broken. It appears to have been broken for some time now. Do you care about this product?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2016-04-13, version 2.2*

Guess they still aren't using this app.  All pages still blank

### 1/5 — Flat out inoperable

*2016-02-19, version 2.2*

Couldn't ever get it to do anything. Dumped it like the garbage it is. Man all of these conservative news sites are bad it seems

### 1/5 — Total Waste...

*2016-01-24, version 2.2*

After all this time, I'm surprised RedState has not pulled or fixed this app. Installed it again and it still does not refresh.

### 1/5 — It's a shame

*2015-11-20, version 2.2*

As others have noted, this app is no longer suppored by the developer.  The UI is there, but with nothing behind it.  I was sorry to see that, as I was looking for a way to read Red State content on my tablet.  The Red State web site shows well enough on the big screen of a PC, but its formatting is horrible when viewed on a tablet.  I can't even imagine trying to read it on a phone.  Perhaps the App Store should have a "Get back to me if this app is resurrected" button.

### 1/5 — What's Up???

*2015-09-23, version 2.2*

Installed app and all I got was white pages ...

### 1/5 — Terrible Design/Content

*2015-08-13, version 2.2*

This app cuts out in the middle of stories and then won't open up again. It also gives you nothing more than the opinion of extremist right-wing propagandizers. If you want to be totally uninformed and have lies told to you then this would be perfect, but if you would like to know the facts of what is going on in our nation and the world, go anywhere else. This app is terrible.

### 1/5 — App is a total waste

*2015-01-02, version 2.2*

Doesn't open, doesn't update and blank screen with no news at all.

### 1/5 — Great publication mired by horrible app.

*2014-11-07, version 2.2*

Management is failing to hire and manage IT personnel who have the integrity to earn their pay. 

IT, comments more than 3 years old say the app won't update! With iOS 8, the app won't even load content on a new iPhone 6 Plus.

If I were an owner, I'd worry about what else was decaying and what I was getting for the money I was paying out for salaries.

Uninstalled. Paste a bookmark to your home screen and use the web.

### 1/5 — I used to read this app

*2023-08-29*

I had this app and just deleted it as the VIP articles are no longer flagged before clicking on an article. It seems every article is only available to VIP. No more. There are plenty of other sites I can get my news.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-10-10, version 5.4*

Deleted app and released added.  Nothing loads

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-10-06, version 5.4*

This app entices you with headlines but then requires a paid subscription to read the article. As if they weren’t generating enough revenue with all their ads. Disgraceful.

### 1/5 — No more comments

*2022-09-28, version 5.4*

See ya

### 1/5 — Went woke

*2022-08-20, version 5.4*

Berkeley ‘Person of Color’ House Bans White Folks From Common Spaces.  ???

This is the new redstate. Slam white people while promoting anti white racism. Yet no articles about black violence against Asians and the elderly. Racism is a multicultural disease. Obviously their writers are infected. Redstate is no longer a right News outlet.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2022-06-15, version 5.4*

The best feature of this app were the comments. They were funny and reflected the views of what we all feel for the most part. But now you have to pay to be a “VIP” member in order to read the comments. I dropped the app and will not reinstall it unless they reverse that policy.

### 1/5 — March 26, 2021 update 👎🏻

*2021-03-29, version 5.2*

Love the content but strongly dislike the new layout, now only two headlines can be seen per screen.

### 1/5 — App won’t run

*2020-10-21, version 4.1*

The application no longer runs.  Would give it a zero star if one were available.

### 1/5 — UPDATE THE DANG APP

*2020-09-28, version 4.1*

No update in two years, REALLY???? the app is having issue after issue, but I guess judging from the update history I’ll ha e to wait 8 more years for an update. Oh before I forget, they want you to pay for vip but can’t update their app!!!! Screw this I am out of here fix your app FFS.

### 1/5 — Sorry, but no

*2019-12-22, version 4.1*

I am not going to pay for news.  Period.  Especially when you already run annoying adds all over the site to begin with.  Shame on you.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent news app

*2021-06-10, version 5.4*

Updates news stories more often than TownHall.

### 5/5 — The ONLY real news app!

*2020-08-07, version 4.1*

Dump google and CNN, both big liars!

### 5/5 — What’s with the negative reviews?

*2019-10-29, version 4.1*

I just downloaded this news app and it’s been very easy to use. I haven’t had a single problem. I first started reading RedState on the Apple News App but they got rid of it later on! They need better recognition and support. Bookmark it on your desktop and download this app. It proves how moronic Liberals are nowadays.

### 5/5 — Appears to be working now

*2018-07-08, version 4.1*

After years..

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2012-10-28, version 2.2*

No clue why some said this app doesn't work? I just downloaded it and it works great! 

Could use some "cleaning up" by the designer (hd logo, sharper front page etc), but a great app that every conservative should have.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2012-02-14, version 2.2*

Great news feed and approximates the actual site.

### 5/5 — Reporting a bug

*2011-09-04, version 2.2*

App hasn't updated since August 31st. Have to go directly to the site to read the always articulate commentary. Never had any previous problems. Was just going to re-install but read a review that this didn't work.

### 4/5 — Get rid of Twitter

*2021-03-07, version 4.1*

App works satisfactory and I enjoy some of the content, but then it switches over to the Twitter for some reason. Cannot stand the Twitter content - all junk as far as I am concerned and it destroys my enjoyment of the Red State. Any way of turning off Twitter?

### 4/5 — No updates

*2011-11-13, version 2.2*

App stopped working Nov. 2nd. Deleted and reinstalled and it's still Nov. 2nd at Redstate.

### 4/5 — Update Problems

*2011-11-08, version 2.2*

I love the general content on Redstate but unfortunately the app won't update since Nov 2nd. I removed & installed the app again but still no updates after Nov 2nd.  Please fix this problem.
