### 3/5 — Great content but difficult to read

*2025-09-18, version 19.2*

I like The Daily Caller’s content, but in both the app and the webpage so many of the fonts appear very small and I’ve been forced to give up on trying to read them. The app does not seem to accept iOS Accessibility settings, and I cannot find any text size adjustment settings in the app. I’m disappointed by that.

### 3/5 — Stop trying to get me to download a game!

*2025-07-05, version 18.17*

I just want to read the news from a reliable source. I get that ads are a necessary function. But this app pushes game downloads that you can’t get off the screen. No matter how you try to move past it, you cannot. I deleted the app.

### 2/5 — Nothing

*2025-05-10, version 18.17*

Loved the app. It no longer works. It wouldn’t updating so I downloaded it again. Blank.

### 3/5 — Problem with VPNs?

*2025-04-26, version 18.17*

I enjoy the content and have checked the app daily until the last app update. I can no longer access the latest news unless I turn off my VPN. I suppose I will remove the Daily Caller from my phone if this doesn’t change.

### 2/5 — Way too many ads

*2025-01-18, version 18.14*

The have good content but I rarely check the app anymore. They put ads on everything. Ads should not be on content that they did not  produce.

### 1/5 — Constantly Refreshes

*2024-11-21, version 18.9*

This app constantly refreshes itself.  Trying to read articles is a exercise in frustration. Then there’s the game ads.  You can do better!

### 1/5 — Can't get it on my desktop

*2024-09-25, version 18.8*

All of a sudden Daily Caller will not open up on my apple desktop running Sequoia

### 3/5 — Nope, still closes while scrolling

*2024-09-19, version 18.8*

Had no problems with this app until it was updated 3 days ago and started closing app after scrolling stopped

### 2/5 — Comment section is gone

*2024-08-29, version 18.4*

They got rid of the comment section after each article which was the best part of the app. Bring it back. I'm not using the app until it's back.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever (and I have many)

*2024-08-05, version 17.0*

I want to watch these documentaries. The app is completely disfunctional. Just asks me to sign in over and over and over without letting me watch anything. The website is no better. Finally signed in. Now when I try to start a documentary all I get is “sorry something went wrong”. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Crash crash crashes

*2024-08-04, version 17.0*

Frustrating can’t even read one article without it closing down if it’s a terrible app

### 1/5 — Still crashing after update fix

*2024-07-24, version 16.7*

Date July 24, 2024 I updated with the new update to help fix the crash and it is still crashing. I am highly disappointed because this is one of my favorite apps and I hope you can fix this soon.

### 1/5 — Click bait — do not install

*2024-07-23, version 16.6*

This click bait article made me delete the app.  An article which implied Eric Clapton had died, but it was some other guitarist.  Deleting app forever.

### 1/5 — Crashes. ALWAYS!

*2024-07-20, version 16.6*

This app constantly and abruptly closes when either scrolling thru the articles and most definitely when you open an article to read.  Can’t the developers fix this?

### 2/5 — Content great, but Continuously crashes

*2024-07-12, version 16.6*

Don’t know if anyone else experiences the same thing but I can’t get through 12 seconds of reading an article without the app totally crashing and closing out. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — The app Crashes constantly now but great news source.

*2024-07-02, version 16.6*

I love the Daily Caller, but the app has been crashing constantly for the last month or two. It is unusable at this point. I can only scroll for about a minute before it crashes and only read a few paragraphs of an article before it will crash.

### 1/5 — Font size is too small

*2024-06-25, version 16.6*

Font size is too small on iOS Devices to read if you are over 40.  App does not respond to changes in text size in the control settings.  No provision within the app to change the font size.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Antisemitic Propaganda

*2026-08-05, version 19.7*

This is not a good source of right-leaning news. It spews antisemitic lies as news. Its founder is Tucker Carlson, a notoriously avowed antisemite. Please uninstall this app.

### 1/5 — Simply unreadable

*2026-05-20, version 19.7*

Why does your app show every article in a font the size of COVID? Make it bigger or better yet add some accessibility features so users can change the font.

### 1/5 — Ruined by full screen add’s

*2025-08-18, version 19.2*

I just deleted the Daily Caller news app from my devices because of the obtrusive, full screen, video ad’s whose volume is overly loud while auto playing. It reminds me of the Fox News app which does the same thing. I’m not interested in ever downloading the idiotic games they advertise. I’m about to do the same with the Fox News app for the same reason.

### 1/5 — Constantly Refreshing

*2025-08-14, version 19.1*

This app has become nearly unusable. On an iPad, scrolling triggers a refresh that returns to the top of the page. What good is quality content when it can’t be accessed. Back to NewsMax for me.

### 1/5 — Terrible, continually updating

*2025-07-18, version 19.1*

If I could give this app zero stars, I would.  It is in a loop is continually updating.  If you get to read a story, it updates and defaults to the beginning automatically.  Not worth the trouble!

### 1/5 — No Customer Support for APP issues

*2025-07-01, version 18.17*

Everything was great with this app until a few months ago when I tried to post a comment and hyperlink message in red font proceeded by a red padlock appeared at the top: “Authorize to Participate”. I click on this link and it reroutes me to the log in page. Over and over and over. I go to the actual website and log in there- no problem. I changed my password, I have deleted cache, I deleted and reinstalled the app 3x. I tried Every trick I know- I’m  an above average tech savvy person.  
Worse- there is NO link or anywhere to report this problem. I clicked on the Report a Problem link in the App Store and that took me to Apple Support where you are prompted to select the app you want to report a problem with, and the only Daily Caller listed is the FREE version I had at the apps inception; (I have the Paid premium member subscription now) I click on that and nothing happens. I don’t have time to go to website every time I want to post a comment or otherwise dialogue with other subscribers. As the Sharks say on Shark Tank “For this reason, I’m out.”

### 1/5 — Feature poor

*2025-06-16, version 18.17*

I’m sure everyone is leaving glowing reviews because they like the journalism, which is decent.  However, notifications fail to go to the linked page constantly and it’s 2025 and there is still no dark mode. PLEASE 🙏, enter the 21st century and give us dark mode.

### 1/5 — Nothing but glitches

*2025-04-06, version 18.17*

I used to enjoy the app, but then it glitched repeatedly, closing the app as soon as I opened it or even opened an article.

### 1/5 — Great Articles, When I Can Read Them

*2025-03-21, version 18.17*

The articles can be very informative, but the app crashes very quickly nearly every time I open it.  Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Adware

*2025-03-03, version 18.14*

I’ve deleted this app because I am tired of checking the news in a quiet place like the doctors office, and having a loud game ad play before the article loads, with no “x” button to close it.

Bye…

### 5/5 — So far so good.

*2024-10-18, version 18.9*

I just switched to this app from Breitbart because their latest update doesn’t allow reading in landscape. Hope it lasts!

### 5/5 — The Daily Caller.  Sept 10, 2024 Review...

*2024-09-10, version 18.8*

UPDATE: Sept 10, 2024

Version 18.8 is now crashing on launch.  back to the drawing board... I guess, this is the same behavior that was experienced after updating from V 18.4 to V 18.5... Now V 18.8 is afflicted by a similar symptom... Help Devs...

The Daily Caller. Aug 31, 2024 Review... 

The Daily Caller app was working fine (more or less,) until installation of V 18.5, now it will NOT open, it crashes on launch.  I tried the usual method of uninstalling and reinstalling hoping to fix it that way, but it still crashes upon launch.

I hope that the developer fixes this ASAP.  I should have known better than to install any update on a holiday weekend.

An additional note: It would be great if a 'Dark Theme' option were available, not everyone wants to read articles with a blindingly white background.  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Second to none

*2024-06-04, version 16.6*

Truth matters on this app. Love it. However it keeps knocking me off. I think the left is creating a bug.

### 5/5 — NYJD

*2022-01-06, version 9.0*

I like to keep up with real not fake news and don’t think my day is complete without Tucker Carlson’s take - that’s not narrative but truth backed  up with proof and very thoughtful presentation.  Thank you for this new way of keeping current with lots that fake news doesn’t disclose or doesn’t know or seeks to hide.   This app is so much easier and with far less extra stuff to wade through than formerly was required to get through.  It’s a great time saver that keeps us current.  THANK YOU!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-10-16, version 7.8*

This latest update is a game changer. Good job. Daily caller is back on my daily read list again.

### 5/5 — Daily Caller Works For Me

*2018-11-05*

The news I read must be fair and accurate.  The Daily Caller meets both of those standards.   I also enjoy the background and the depth the Daily Caller goes into to give me a fuller picture of the news story.  My app works great.

### 5/5 — M Davies

*2018-10-21, version 7.4*

I like reading The Daily Caller and this app makes it easy to do that.

### 5/5 — Finally got it right

*2018-05-15*

I’ve been a big fan of The Daily Caller for years. Until this recent update I have struggled using the app for a variety of user-unfriendly reasons. Often I would be frustrated and forced to close the app and go to the website to finish reading a story. Other times I would just close and go to another of my favorite news apps. I don’t know if you changed app developers or looked at it from a user experience perspective but it’s better and I’m glad.

### 5/5 — Solid app with interesting articles

*2018-04-23*

I like the Daily Caller a lot. I only have two news oriented apps on my phone and the Daily Caller is one of them. There are so many supposedly “news” outlets these days that gather articles that aim to trigger or just get clicks. The Daily Caller focuses on interesting, informative articles and the overall feel of the app is informative.
