Vraj spravodajstvo. Figu. Normálny biznis. Hlavne že majú plnú hubu Penty. Su takí istí. Plat za všetko. ### 1/5 — Posledny update vymazal ulozene clanky *2023-09-22, version 5.4.11* Zly UI Zla app Joke ### 1/5 — Reklamy pre predplatitelov *2020-06-15, version 4.2.2* Ak sa chcete dostať ku predplatenému obsahu bez toho aby medzi riadkami boli reklamy, musíte ísť cez prehliadač ### 1/5 — Neuplne clanky *2020-04-01, version 4.2.1* Aplikacia neustale odkazuje na web sme.sk pre zobrazenie elementov ktore aplikacia nepodporuje. Je jednoduchsie citat clanky priamo na webe ### 1/5 — Ako dojebat appku *2018-02-23, version 4.0.0* Aj po desiatom prihlaseni zmeneni hesla a prihlaseni stale cumim na reklamu a ani clanok nedocitam cely. A to len za 3.90 mesacne. ### 1/5 — Slabe - zakladne a nepochopitelne chyby *2017-09-07, version 3.3.0* Ako je mozne, ze sa niekedy objavi 2x za sebou ten isty clanok? Ako je mozne, ze po zhruba desiatom clanku je znovu umiestnenych tych istych 10 clankov? Je to smutno smiesne. Takuto "inovaciu" som nikde nevidel- niekto asi predpokladal ze citatel musi byt o kazdom clanku informovany viackrat. Zarty bokom, je to "len" chybny kod. ### 1/5 — iPhone 5 not compatible? *2016-02-16* What's so fricking special about this app that it's not being compatible with iPhone 5? It gives me an error message when I try to update it on iPhone 5. If that's the case, stop showing it in the updates for iPhone 5. If the app is not going to support iPhone 5, I'm going to delete it from my phone. I don't want to see a notification about a new update while not being able to install it. ### 1/5 — subscribtion doesnt work *2015-07-20* Suscribtion through Itunes doesnt work neigher SME nor Itunes able to help/predpaltné cez I tunes nefunguje SMe ani Itunes neboli schopny pomôcť ### 1/5 — Postupný pád na dno *2015-03-09, version 2.0.2* Sme ide dlhodobo dolu vodou, aplikácia sme.sk je toho dôkazom a to nie len z hľadiska obsahu... Neustále padanie aplikácie, celková neprehľadnosť a enormný počet gramatických a štylistických chýb. To dobre čo na sme bolo je momentálne k dispozícii v denníku N. ### 1/5 — Stale zle *2015-02-20, version 2.0.2* Aktualizacie, ktora odstrani chyby pri prezerani clanku, ako napriklad bocne posuvanie, galeria a pod sa citatelia najpopularnejsich novin na Slovensku asi nedockaju. Hanba. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chcem vedieť *2025-11-10, version 6.0.0* A SME mi dáva nárok ### 5/5 — Great news *2025-09-22* Great Slovak news app ### 5/5 — Chcem vedieť *2025-09-17* A SME mi dáva nárok ### 5/5 — Chcem vedieť *2025-08-10* A SME mi dáva nárok ### 5/5 — It is OK *2025-08-03, version 5.6.9* Slower than CNN, but quite good. ### 5/5 — Staci maly horizontalny pohyb prstom *2025-07-27, version 5.6.9* pri skrolovani clanku a clanok sa vrati na zaciatok.
