### 5/5 — Vice App Developer Thanks for the support

*2024-02-01*

App Store somehow suggested this I as I was preoccupied on some meaningless thing on the phone device and thought it through and now that I have the Vice

### 2/5 — What is happening with this app

*2023-09-29*

I gave it a shot considering how fantastic vice journalism is but seriously, it’s 2023, and your the only news agency I know that doesn’t have a decent functioning app. Seriously considering giving up on vice altogether because the website looks so messy on my tablet (ergo why I took the chance on the app). You can’t create an account, the tabs don’t work, nothing functions. And from these reviews it seems they haven’t tried to fix anything in at least 4 years. If you’re going to just give up, take it down. The only reason I gave it two stars was because the second time I used it I was able to read 3 articles before it crashed and everything stopped working again. And I love(d) vice and the journalists working really hard to put this stuff out deserve credit. What a waste of these journalist’s hard work. What a way to let them and your readers down. Seriously, are you TRYING to self sabotage?

### 5/5 — Vice News

*2023-05-03*

This is the best source of all the news that they don’t want you to know and all the news that they’re talking about all in the same place, ain’t that amazing though??

### 1/5 — App just doesn’t work

*2023-04-23*

Just like everyone else, I couldn’t create an account.  It just keeps asking me to create one.  The search bar does absolutely nothing.  If you type anything into it, nothing ever loads and the top tabs with categories does do anything. It just as the same news articles as the front page.  It just gives a loading screen and does nothing.  Kinda ridiculous when the very basic concepts of the app fails.  Seriously, who made this??

### 2/5 — For real?  Not ready for public release

*2023-04-02*

I love Vice and what it does in the world but they really need to invest in their mobile development teams or just stick to web format. From trouble getting the federated authentication to work to trying to filter stories based on topic, there was broken functionality everywhere. I hate to say it but there’s still much work to be done.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all

*2023-01-12, version 3.10.0*

I downloaded the app and tried to create an account. The app looks nice; however, I can’t even create an account in order to view the articles. I tried my email address, my google, Facebook, and apple account, yet none of them allowed me to create an account or access the app. What’s the point in even having an account if it doesn’t even work? I also noticed that the last bug update for the app was a year ago! That doesn’t really help to raise confidence levels either. It looks like you hired someone to handle creating an app, they either quit or got fired and you said “F it” and gave up on rehiring someone. Hopefully you can get it together and fix the app soon because it can truly be a good place to get great information from.

### 1/5 — Sigh…no iPad landscape mode? Seriously?

*2023-01-06, version 3.10.0*

99% of the time I use my iPad in landscape mode and only 1% of the time in portrait. Seriously Vice…why can’t I read your app the way *I* want to read it?

### 1/5 — Flat out doesn’t work

*2022-12-28, version 3.10.0*

Signing in with my Google account doesn’t work: After tapping my Google account name it just drops me back to the prior screen without signing me in.  
Jumping to sections like World News or Motherboard (tech) doesn’t work: Tapping those respective headers at the top of the screen does nothing but briefly show a “Just One Moment” dialogue. Then nothing. 
Reading articles doesn’t work: Tapping on an article briefly brings up a white screen as if it is about to load. Then it falls back to the prior screen. So I can’t read the articles. I tried about 20 times for different articles. And eventually only one ever worked.

### 1/5 — App barely works

*2022-12-14, version 3.10.0*

Great content, great company but the app is TRASH! How about an update? Or how about spend the money on an actual app that works. I don’t want to watch videos on your tv app, I want to read.

### 4/5 — good news, not so good app

*2022-12-02, version 3.10.0*

No dark mode, jumpy loading, loss of scroll positioning- the app is trash. However it does function enough to use and vice is a good channel with good content.
