I love to read the articles in this app. However, over the past month or two, none of the articles reload. Meaning the same articles that were on there in the same order, are still there many hours later. I have deleted the app plenty of times to fix the issue but it stays the same. Also, every time I go to refresh the app, it closes it.
I like the news source. They have good content. But their app constantly crashes. Sometimes I need to remove and reinstall the app to get it to work. This has been an issue for some time and over several devices. 25OCT23.... it is not to the point that I have to Uninstaller and reinstalled at least once a month to get it to update the headlines. 27OCT23. It's only been two days, hasn't updated so I will once again uninstall and try again. SURE WOULD BE NICE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED.
This used to be a wonderful app. Then, about a year ago, it stopped letting me sign into Disqus. If I want to comment, I have to open it up in Chrome and sign in that way. I thought maybe it was my outdated phone, but I got a new one, and it still won't sign in. I could tolerate this issue. Recently, it began crashing all the time, and now the articles struggle to load and refresh. I thought it needed an update, but there's no update available. They need to fix these major issues.
An App in Progress. Used to read BBN in Edge until I made the mistake of trying the "full screen" mode. No way to get the original view back that I could find so I downloaded the app. Now I find there's no way to change the app to dark screen mode. Unless I'm missing something, BB tech support needs to go to work.
Sentences, end of paragraph, cut off. News doesn't update. If I look at news later it will be on same articles from way earlier in the day. When you get to the bottom of articles & click the bar to continue loading more articles..it doesn't. I'm uninstalling. I have the website, that functions normally, saved to my homescreen. No problems with it loading, cutting off sentences & frequently updating.
This is worse than their old app and I didn't think that was possible! Takes five minutes to load and doesn't cache for long so every time you open it it reloads. I just don't understand how they can't get this right after all these years. I love Breitbart news but barely read it anymore. I don't have time for an app that takes five minutes to load.
Like others in the comments, the app won't reload, so I have to come back here and uninstall the app and reinstall it. Eventually, I'm not going to reinstall. Instead of worrying about the ads, why don't you actually worry about your subscribers.... Edit: It's 11.13.2023 and this will be the last time I reload the app... It's beyond annoying.
Agree with David C, need to stop allowing x-rated ads in the feed. I shouldn't have to take the extra steps to mark ads as inappropriate j and still have them reoccur. How can I recommend the Breightbart app to others if you allow porn ads in the app. If these ads dont stop I'll be removing your app from my phone. None of the other liberal news apps I look at have x-rated ads, I wonder why Brightbart doesn't seem to care.
2026 and the app still sucks. sluggish,the constant notification permission window. Why would anyone pay to read articles on this app? It's a good source for news, but the app crashes constantly even after performing updates. The words in the articles have started running together also. This is one of the worst apps.
Can't participate in comments. Disqus is the worst. Can't tell you how many times I have logged in and re-logged in. What a battle. I have given up.
Constant ads by "Lovelink" showing x rated ads. This is probably the fault of Google Ads, but it needs to be addressed by Breitbart and Google Ads. I have to wonder if Google Ads is doing this on purpose so Breitbart gets blamed. I've sent multiple feedback for weeks on these ads saying they're inappropriate, but they keep showing up. Honestly, they show pics of girls that look underage, so I'm wondering how Google allows these ads on their service. THIS NEEDS to be ADDRESSED!
My last review was a bit harsh due to some UI issues (not to mention the withdrawal from only being able to read headlines). But the developers fixed everything incredibly fast. Seriously, who responds that quickly these days? Huge kudos to the Breitbart team and the app designers. Keep up the great work! Google Pixel 7A.
Before a recent update, my review on this app was entirely different. The phone Breitbart world has changed to be near-uncomparable to the clunkiness that existed before. It is very easy to use and do all the basic functions of other news apps, with the twist of having articles written by people with more than half a brain cell, unlike other media outlets (BBC). Totally worth getting, it is free.
It's good to have the other half of the story, and this app is one of the few places you can get it. However, on many articles that link to YouTube, the video claims to be unavailable. But when I search for it on YouTube, it is there. We all know the shenanigans Google pulls, but it should still always work. Make a BitChute backup or something.
new font on update is so tiny that this site is absolutely useless to me now. This was my go to site for news. I hope they fix this soon as OAN will be my new go to until they fix this. but they are usually a day behind on news.
Updated 11/18 - okay, this means war! It's one thing when another article about Trump vs. Acosta or vice versa shuts the site down, but when I can't get Fashion Notes, it's gone too far! Fix this format!! Used to be 5 stars, but not crazy about new format... can't read full headline anymore. Also, at least once a day I click on an article and get error message Breitbart has stopped working, and the app shuts down. I go back and find only that article is the problem, the rest are fine. Finally, the comments section is harder to read...margins are narrower on replies. It's prettier and slicker, but less friendly.
Content Load Issues Worked fine until last week. Now get error message "Unable to load content - please check connection". No problems with my connection. Eventually if I go in and out of app or open from Play Store it may work. But too frustrating when it used to work great.
Sorry, I was going to give a paid subscription but they need your physical residence address before you are allowed to just pay. This is not a payment requirement, it is just what they want. The reason to download the app was to subscribe without going to a website, guess not!

Love getting my news from this app, but someone needs to go back to school and learn spelling, proper grammar and punctuation. Not only that, the app always cuts sentences off so one is left hanging or it is one big long sentence that the reader has to decipher. I have to uninstall and reinstall to get updated news. Please fix this or I'm looking for a different news app.
