Never works
This app never works when I need it to. I always get a message that it is prior to 6:20am ET, even when it’s noon. Then unable to access newsletters, which is the only reason I use the app.
Unusable
No matter the time of day it just says “oops. You’re up earlier than we are. Alarms set for 6:20 ET. Try again in a few minutes.” I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and nothing fixed it.
“Sports calendar” = NWSL calendar
Written in 2026: I started my Skimm subscription in 2016. I like the Skimm, I like what they provide, but I especially loved their calendar feature. I really enjoyed syncing my calendar with big events that are happening, movie releases, or other random things the Skimm added. One of their calendars focused on big things in the sports world. They described it as having events such as the Super Bowl or the start of a league’s season. Then new for 2026, they started including every NWSL game. Not just the start of the season, or the debut game for inaugural teams, but every game every week. It’s exhausting. It floods the calendar with events that do not align with what they advertise. I did not pay for a NWSL calendar. I subscribed because I wanted to hear when things like when the NWSL season started, not when Orlando plays Louisville week 5 of the season. I first brought this to customer service, but it’s clear they did not care. There’s no way to opt out of this; if you want to know when big things are happening in the world of sports, the Skimm will also ensure you know when EVERY SINGLE NWSL game is. It’s too bad that after 10 years, this is what made me cancel my subscription.

Used to be good
Nothing but bugs. Paid features are not updating anymore. The calendar feature is rarely working or kept up to date. Super disappointed.
Endless bugs
This app malfunctions constantly. Sometimes you can find the daily skimm where it’s supposed to be and other times you can’t. Sometimes you can find it elsewhere sometimes you can’t. Sometimes the home page gets stuck for days on same ad. Sometimes app flat out won’t open and sometimes there’s this glitch where some letters are symbols and the whole thing is illegible. That’s just everything that is wrong with the app itself. The newsletter used to be amazing; however, has turned almost entirely into a list of affiliate links it’s all about ad revenue now and no longer provides the substance it once did.
