### 5/5 — Update broke the app

*2018-05-02*

The latest update killed the app. Just delete and download again and you'll be fine

### 5/5 — New version broke it

*2018-04-28*

The new version 4.6.1 broke what was a great app for UA Wildcats sports information. The only thing I see on my iPhone now is a blank page with “saved” at the top left and Wildcaster at the bottom. Not even the Settings icon works! Please fix... Curiously it works fine on an iPad.

From 1 star to 5 star. Deleted app and reloaded. Works great now. Glad to be able to follow my Cats now.

### 5/5 — New app does not work

*2018-04-26*

The last update screwed it up

### 5/5 — Beardown Arizona

*2018-04-11*

Love this app!

### 5/5 — Great new approach

*2017-12-26*

Thus new app provides a great overview of all the activity in the UA Athletic Department. A great place for a Wildcat junkie to spend some time!

### 5/5 — No free content

*2016-05-08*

About 3 weeks ago they stopped loading any free content. Completely useless now if you don't subscribe to the Arizona Daily Star and have an account set up.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be a good app, now it doesn't update unless you buy a subscription.

*2016-05-09*

This was my go to app for AZ Wildcat news since I live out of state.  Now it won't update unless I have a subscription?!

### 1/5 — Poorly designed app

*2012-02-26*

Have to restart the iPhone to reset the app after you click an external link. Also, sometimes the screen will show double and you can't get rid of the background unless you reboot. Very frustrating indeed!

### 2/5 — Removed

*2025-02-07*

After enjoying the app for years I deleted it after making it subscription based. Not worth it.

### 2/5 — Why doesn’t the app update?

*2018-11-18, version 4.6.6*

This would be a great app to help keep you up to date with all the Wildcat news, but unfortunately it doesn’t update itself with even half the articles the Tucson.com puts out. After the football game yesterday the only article posted today is a video from one of the players? Come on, this could be so much better.

### 2/5 — Don't click on links

*2012-05-27*

If you click on a link in a story it attempts, and fails, to open the web page. It is then locked up and the only solution is to restart your iPhone.

### 3/5 — Why is everything behind the paywall

*2025-03-18*

This would be a great app to help keep you up to date with all the Wildcat news, but unfortunately it seems that all the articles that I have been reading for years are now behind a paywall. $5.99 per month is a little pricey

### 5/5 — Distant cat

*2022-12-27*

I travel a lot and enjoy news and stories about the cats distant cat

### 5/5 — U OF A U OF A

*2022-03-09*

THE BEST APP EVER

### 5/5 — Wildcaster

*2022-02-04*

The Wildcaster is the first place I go for all my Wildcat info. The reporters are great. Michael Lev is the best. I love his football and baseball coverage.

### 5/5 — Wildcaster Rocks

*2020-12-23*

This is my Go To App for all things #BearDown.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!! GREAT REPORTING!! GREAT PEOPLE!

*2020-10-22*

When it comes to UA stuff, Wildcaster App blows everybody out the water. Nobody does stories, podcasts, videos like they do.

So if you want breaking stuff, get this app!

### 5/5 — Wildcaster Rocks

*2019-12-01*

Great site to follow the Wildcats.

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2018-10-24*

Superb website and information piece for ALL Wildcat fans!

### 5/5 — Good but could be better

*2018-09-16*

I have iPhone 7 with OS 11.4.1 and always stay up to date. But for a year I get frequent errors that app can’t update, which are only rectified when I delete app and then refine load from iCloud. Otherwise I love using it I stay updated with my Cats, though the new “view collection” mode on almost every article is a little annoying. I think this app could definitely be more user friendly.

### 5/5 — Fan

*2018-09-04*

Helps keep up with the Cats in Colorado

### 5/5 — App is now broken

*2018-08-13*

I too updated to 4.6.1 and now see only Saved and a blank page. Please fix it.
