But I removed a star because I really don’t see the point of criticizing Christians. I myself am Jewish, but I think faith should be respected. So my advice is stick to the political stuff. You do great with that! ### 5/5 — Easy and fun *2026-07-12, version 2.21* Quick and easy interface. Looks good. Just as fun as the website. ### 5/5 — Too Funny- but often true! *2026-07-10, version 2.21* When I can’t handle the “real” news, I look to BB for some relief! Thank you for keeping me laughing! ### 5/5 — Optional *2026-07-10, version 2.21* Dih ### 5/5 — Awesome read! *2026-06-20, version 2.21* Always engaging ### 3/5 — Wicked funny! *2026-06-16, version 2.20* This website has saved me from many bad days and made me laugh as much as my dog does-and she's a hard act to match. Poodle high jinks in the morning and. Babylon Bee laughs out loud before I go to bed make me a happy camper! ### 5/5 — Visionary *2026-06-14, version 2.20* The preternatural instinct of the writers is amazing and hilarious. So refreshingly cheeky and smart. What actual comedy looks like. ### 5/5 — They say it perfectly…Keep it up! *2026-06-07, version 2.20* My daily dose of humor…they always word it just right, and say it without saying it! ### 5/5 — Joe Biden wins the mayor of LA race *2026-06-06, version 2.20* Can I say more? Babylon Bee hits the nail on the head. ### 5/5 — Better than Highlights *2026-06-04, version 2.20* Always enjoy reading in waiting room before Dr. appts. So far it has been at least partially responsible for non-fatal diagnoses. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-24, version 2.18* I enjoy the Babylon Bee and it never fails to bring me a good laugh! ### 5/5 — Yassss *2026-05-17, version 2.18* Best satire you can find! ### 5/5 — The Death of Satire? *2026-05-14, version 2.18* Not on the Bee’s Watch! Funny how you can get a lot of news just by reading the Babylon Bee. I use it as a barometer, a ledger, and a flotation device. I share the satire carefully - because I, like many others, live in mixed company. The Babylon Bee stories make people laugh, which cracks the door open for a conversation, and occasionally enlightenment. I can genuinely say that I am moving the needle with certain people in my life, would not be possible without the Babylon Bee. Lead on! ### 5/5 — Fantastic news source *2026-05-12, version 2.18* Loved the Babylon bee and loved how it gives me relevant updates every few days! Super accurate and super true! ### 5/5 — Funny stuff! *2026-04-30, version 2.18* So glad to have a Republican version of The onion. It’s long overdue. ### 5/5 — Better than the real thing *2026-04-27, version 2.18* Funny how satire becomes fact ### 5/5 — Norby *2026-04-15, version 2.18* The Bee is the best ### 5/5 — Love Babylon Bee *2026-04-14, version 2.18* BB always puts a smile or two or three on my face with each edition. One of a kind. ### 5/5 — Love the Bee! *2026-04-06, version 2.18* When I need true humor or learn what going on in the World, I just enter the hive of the bee! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Anti-Catholic *2026-07-29, version 2.21* Was really disappointed about their blasphemous article about the Blessed Mother… ### 1/5 — Unfunny but used to be *2026-01-15, version 2.18* The title is the review ### 1/5 — Babylon Bee is Anti American Propaganda. *2025-12-15, version 2.18* You should move to another country. ### 1/5 — MFGA *2025-08-29, version 2.18* Far too many of the “headlines” pitched in The Forum are not remotely headlines. Many are just variations on of a theme if not outright duplications. I am not innocent of these accusations, admittedly. I am reminded of the old cigarette commercial “Are you smoking more and enjoying it less?” I am reading it more and enjoying it less. I’m struggling with the idea it is time for me to move on from the Forum and just enjoy the other content. ### 1/5 — Makes jokes about presidential assassination attempts *2025-07-14, version 2.18* Next jokes about staff writers family deaths, goodbye mom and dad ### 1/5 — 9 reasons Trump is same as Hitler. *2024-10-24, version 2.11* Hysterical original nine reasons have been removed or altered. Why? Perhaps the single funniest I’ve seen on the Babylon Bee. Why the change? I want to copy of the original original how do I get it? ### 1/5 — Christian sattire *2024-10-10, version 2.11* I think the app is supposed to be Christian memes…like supposed to post a bunch of fake news in order to make it seem “Christian” like a hurricane in the form of Star of David? And how Kamala Harris plans on telling the hurricane “don’t” (we all know she’s dumb anyway) but I don’t think anything here is true. Yall have a whole nother app exactly like it called “not the bee” idk it seems silly and funny but definitely not for gaining true knowledge about world news or anything like that ### 1/5 — Stops working *2023-04-17, version 2.9* The app freezes after about 3 mins of browsing articles and then closes ### 2/5 — Quickly boring *2025-01-01, version 2.17* Fun at first, soon gets boring. Recent article indicated people like me can’t win spelling bees. They have a right to free speech, but as for me, I’m bored and just deleted the app. ### 2/5 — What you don’t understand *2024-08-23* Whenever I read content from the BB I wonder how the right gets the left so wrong. Is it intentional? The right is obsessed with things they think the left is, but that’s just weird. Sure, there’s the constant projection - that’s when the right does crazy stuff but claims it’s the left doing it- but this satire attempt] demonstrates that the minority wants to make fun of the majority, but they don’t, and won’t try to understand them. You know the right is the minority, don't you? Because of your unwillingness to figure out what’s really going on nationally and internationally and how your hippocampus makes you react the way you do, it looks like you’ll keep writing and reading this attempt at humor that feels leaden and empty. I feel sorry for some of you individually, but as a group, I wish you’d take the time to learn how your politicians cheated their way into power and then think about what that tells you about supporting them. Lest you think I don't have the background to understand where you’re coming from, let me assure you that I do. (I also know how to spell “you,” but a preponderance of right-wing commentary attracts people who don’t.) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Onion…. *2026-08-27, version 2.21* 3x better ### 5/5 — Hilarious (& Reasonable) *2026-08-11, version 2.21* These are thinking (& hilarious) people! The Bee is willing to make fun of the conservatives when they’re deserving as well as the liberals. They make fun of me too which is a great way for me to see a mirror with a bit more clarity than I’d like but it’s sobering! Thanks Bee! ### 5/5 — Hack: Listen to pages *2026-07-25, version 2.21* Started listening to pages using the Listen to Page / Read Aloud feature on my phone browser. Start by clicking Share page, then send the link to Safari or Edge browser. The Edge browser has about 100 different voices in all sorts of dialects from around the world. My favorite voice is Aria, who sounds like a hip barista half laughing as she speaks. You gotta try this. Also, please add pinch to zoom on pages. It would be nice to enlarge thumbnails and images. ### 5/5 — Best News Source *2026-07-23, version 2.21* When I laugh out loud at a funny headline on the Bee, very often it turns out to be mostly true. ### 5/5 — Topical, clever and hilarious satire *2026-07-21, version 2.21* I laugh out loud at a Babylon Bee story every day. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re in for a treat! ### 5/5 — BB King *2026-07-19, version 2.21* Bab B is the best ### 5/5 — Healthy Sarcasm *2026-07-18, version 2.21* With most public communication being direct and often hateful battles, some lighthearted sarcasm brightens every day ### 5/5 — The Best News on the Internet *2026-07-17, version 2.21* Want to keep up with the important stories of the day? Look no further. ### 5/5 — Hehe *2026-07-14, version 2.21* I love ur random ai ploof hehe but I think we can be liberal or conservative but we have to stay devoted to the truth so maybe don't make lies just for the sake of comedy but I other than that this is SOOOOOOOO funny. ### 5/5 — Listen to pages using Read Aloud in browser *2026-07-14, version 2.21* Started listening to pages using the Listen to Page option in my phone browser. You have to go to the babylonebee.com site (can’t listen in the app), but you can share a page and send the link to Safari or Edge browser. The Edge browser has about 100 different voices in all sorts of dialects from around the world, such as Aria, who sounds like a hip barista half laughing as she speaks.
