Reliable source
Would be great to see more traction with the content. Solid content overall.
I like it
Sometimes it’s a little janky when scrolling and reading articles, but otherwise it’s a good news app
Col Jerry Sage
There needs to be a correction made in the article written March 2021 concerning the burial of Col. Jerry Sage. He isn’t buried in Dothan AL. He is buried at our cemetery in Enterprise AL. Meadowlawn Memorial Park.
Das gut app number one
America number one fight liberal. I like to see it get away from discuss and have its own thing ty.
Good information but...
I got this app because I knew that it had some great articles in it. My only issue is that to people able to even sign up you have to pay on a monthly basis. I’m not going to pay however much it was to bookmark a few articles and browse around.
Good site
Horrible app. It continually asks for my credentials and then says it’s wrong. Then when I put in email for reset it says email is not correct. I use this email on the laptop and iPad and iPhone. So I know it’s the app. They fix it one month and the next it’s jacked up again. Horrible programmers apparently

Disappointed
I’m a paid subscriber. The app has had issues for nearly 2 months. Can’t access via the website either. Customer service doesn’t answer emails.
Horrible
I have a paid membership and the app has not worked for weeks.
Makes you wonder about these guys

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE
They will automatically charge you and subscribe you to “crate club” 79.99 a month. They make it very difficult to unsubscribe.
Going downhill...
I used to subscribe to the site as well as the podcast. Every day the amount of new or unique content on the site goes down and it seems like they’re stretching the content they do have as much as possible. Lots of recycled articles, or at least large parts of them. They’re not very long or in-depth either.
As for the podcast - absolutely garbage since Ian left. They used to have a well-produced show, packed with a revolving door of interesting and highly-placed guests. Now it’s Brandon jabbering with a buddy of his every week. And speaking of jabbering, Brandon needs to stop taking several paragraphs to spit out what could be said in one sentence. Put the thesaurus down and stop with the word spaghetti. It’s almost like he’s trying to fill time (which is a similar concept to the articles on the site, discussed above).
It really feels like the wheels are coming off as Hurricane Media seems to be more interesting in becoming Stitch Fix for dudes (Crate Club), rather than a news and media outlet.
Major bummer to see.

Constant bugs and issues
Love the content, but I’m constantly dealing with new bugs and issues, even after updates.
Love the show. Love the news.
Glad to get this perspective undergirded with sensibility and depth of knowledge.
Excellent app... but 2 big wishes
1. PLEASE give the option to change the font size. It can be extremely difficult to read at times
2. PLEASE give the option to change the background color to white on the articles.
Please provide an update on allowing the white background for reading articles!!!

Great App
Initially had issues with listening radio when upgraded to iOS 11 but the issue has been fixed. Some content is better when logging in through server.
Lock screen Glitch
The interviews are diverse and interesting. I love listening to SOFREP on car rides.
Only commentary: iPhone app doesn't let you listen if phone has gone into lock screen when listening with headphones.

Worst App ever. Just use the website
I love the idea of having an app for SOFREP. I love their site and read the articles mainly from my phone, so it only makes sense to have an app. This app is an utter disappointment.
Firstly, every hyperlink and image on articles is overly sensitive; I find myself going to ad links three or four times per article when I was just trying to scroll down the page. Secondly, longer articles do no load in fully; the page glitches and stops only part of the way down making it impossible to read the full article.
Next, the home page images are extremely slow to load, so it almost always appears that each article has the same image.
Furthermore, SOFREP TV just doesn't work at all. None of the video and audio work, and generally if you click it, you'll be stuck at the loading page indefinitely.
Lastly, you cannot listen to audio while using the app. So much for listening to music while reading articles... Even if you're only reading articles and not using the unreliable SOFREP radio or attempting to use the broken SOFREP TV, it still shuts off your music the moment you open it.
Overall, great idea but horrible execution. I hope they aren't paying someone to create/manage it... it's garbage.

Best mobile news app around
No bs opinions straight and forward news app written by veterans who knows what there doing
Issues/adds
Issues with playback on team room member account. I am also having issues saving episodes. Can you get rid of adds for team room logins? I already read the Power of Thought. Thanks!
Great app overall!
The app is really impressive for the first go around and operates very well overall. Anything bad I have to say about it would largely be nitpicking but I'll put it out there anyway.
My only gripes with the app are:
- slight lag while scrolling down, particularly as you're getting further down in the articles
- video wouldn't flip to horizontal orientation (could be user error but I don't know how to fix it, my screen lock was not on)
- I'd like to see the SOFREP podcast side operate more like the Apple podcasts where I can download it (no data usage), and fast-forward or rewind in 15-second intervals.
Again, small details to gripe with but that's all I got! Great app and even better content! Thanks SOFREP

Awesome
I love the layout and style of this new app. Sofrep kills it in yet another field.
