The Bulwark User Reviews

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.

Why independent media is essential

I am super liberal, always have been but this fight is bigger than policy differences. I might not always agree with the takes but I love the honesty, the fight and the necessary cautionary notes doled out on the daily by one JVL. I enjoy the range of talent at the Bulwark, the rapid responses by The Fingering Trio (I hope I have that right), and others to events as they happen. In sum I’m a fan and deeply grateful for your shows and newsletters.

A Long Time for a Good Thing

I’ve been waiting for an app so I didn’t have to long into substack every time I wanted to read an article. Thanks, Bulwark! This app is intuitive and easy on the eyes.

Madness

We’re going to get through this with JVL’s smart snark, Tim’s outrage, Sarah’s intelligence, Sam’s giggles and Mark’s fortitude.

Love bulwark but please fix video

Love The Bulwark, love the takes, love the articles. What I would love even more is if I close the app and then come back to it and can play the video I was on at the timestamp where it stopped.

Easy access

BW really is the better writing and the array of subjects are impressive. From “justhitmeintheheadwithabat” news ( courteous of MSW listener),
Every day it’s where’s my bat today news?
I swear I’m JVL’s long lost sister.
His supposed dark side I’d rather “Listentothetruththanbeliedto”.
Thanks!

The Antidote for All That Ails Us

Smart news and politics with a centrist heart and they won’t take any baloney from gaslighting authoritarian sex offenders in the Epstein Class. Perfect.

Love The Bulwark, app needs a little love

Overall, I love the Bulwark app—much better than Substack. One glitch: The feed for the Bukwark+ Takes podcast is almost always way out of date. Today, May 4, for example, the most recent episode it shows is April 6.

Exactly What I Wanted

Excellent app! Clean, easy to use, smooth functioning, and some of the best political analysis around.

smart minds

the Bulwark is my favorite news source , 100%

Love the Bulwark, video freezing

Nice to have everything in one place. Sometimes audio stops while video runs and vice versa.

Love the Bulwark, app is awkward

Not easy to navigate and the format is off putting. Prefer Substack.

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?.

😊

Love these folks!

My Favorite independent media

I don’t always agree but I always learn something and I am frequently entertained.

Room for improvement

It would be great…if it worked. The videos are slow to upload to the app and some aren’t there a week later, even though there is clearly a place held for them to be uploaded. Videos inconsistently have the option for captions which is important to me as someone who has a hearing loss. Most videos do not have the caption option. Why is it so janky?

Dropping the signal.

Podcast keeps stopping third Korean halfway through. Tried three times to resume and kept being taken back to the beginning. Sorry to miss what seemed an important piece of news.

Awesome!

I love the app. What took so long?!?!

The best way to stay informed AND sane

The Bulwark is my daily dose of sanity in this mad, mad world. Proud to be a Bulwark plus member. The information and opinions are worth every penny. The sense of community is outstanding.
