### 5/5 — Dark mode o Modo Obscuro

*2025-11-03*

El app funciona muy bien sin fallas pero con el nuevo diseño web quitaron el modo obscuro, es muy útil para ver el contenido en ciertas computadoras.

Urge que pongan esa opción que es muy útil para muchos.

### 1/5 — Repetidores de información

*2025-08-11*

Terrible redacción, noticias manipuladas, nada claro

### 2/5 — Slow app

*2022-02-10*

This app takes a long time to upload and it’s loaded with publicity

### 1/5 — No vale

*2021-07-07*

No vale la pena a la subscripción.

### 1/5 — App llena de publicidad y lenta

*2021-01-25, version 5.5.5*

De que sirve pagar la suscripción al reforma si la app está llena de anuncios. Es ridículo, un anuncio cada tres notas. Deberían ver cómo funcionan otras apps de noticias como el NY Times. Es un periódico, no una revista.

### 1/5 — No sirve app en IPad

*2020-10-21*

Desde la ultima actualización no sirve la app de Reforma en iPad

### 1/5 — Everything wrong

*2020-07-12*

This is such a terrible attempt at making a working ad. Not only do you have to pay a subscription fee but then the app is full of terribly annoying ads. I would bet that 95% of the monetization is happening via the subscriptions, so why keep the ads? I’m canceling my subscription and going elsewhere because:
1. The ads are annoying AF
2. Your cross-system login system doesn’t work, which means that an Apple Subscription doesn’t buy you desktop access

Just terrible all around. What a shame.

### 3/5 — Dark mode

*2020-06-30*

It is difficult to write comments in dark mode because the letters are not in white.

### 3/5 — Alberto Jimenez

*2020-06-19, version 5.4.10*

Es muy atrasado el sistema operativo que maneja. Por alguna circunstancia la nueva configuración me saca de la página de Reforma cada dos días y me dice que ya no soy cliente. Tengo que cancelar el app y volverlo a dar de alta para que me permita entrar. Si no hago esto no me permite, me pregunta usuario y contraseña y solo me saca de la noticia sin poder acceder.

### 5/5 — me gusta, ama ...

*2020-03-26*

when i click "Impreso", and then on te front page of today's edition, you seem to only download a page at a time.  it would be great if, in the background while i'm reading, to download *all* the pages.  (for those of us with poor internet connections!)

gracias,
