User reviews

The Bulwark stands alone

I’m so glad The Bulwark exists to help me navigate this insane timeline we’re living through. I enjoy getting their content here without the clutter of YouTube ads and other creators voices interrupting. I only gave 4 stars bc being able to save is great, but I’d also like to have the option to throw a like on an article or video, and to be able to track those. Sometimes I’m confused about how this app is intertwined with Substack, too. I’m so grateful for all of the intelligent Bulwark conversation and perspective.

Comments are too small

I like the app, but i am unable to read comments anymore on phone or ipad bec print is too small and can’t be expanded as before. Can you fix this?.

Frustrated

I bought a subscription two months ago. No matter what I do, your system continues to show me as a free rather than paid subscriber.

Very Smart Content!

The volume and quality of content is impressive!! I love being informed and entertained at the same time. The Bulwark rocks!!

Love the content-hate the playback

Love listening to the podcast. However, if I get a call while I’m listening to a podcast with my earbuds, it cuts me off from the podcast completely and I can’t get back to the spot where it left off. Other than that it’s a great app.
