TMZ 12+

I enjoy TMZ and this app, but the section titled “ ‘Memba them” no longer provides the names of the celebrity pictured which makes it difficult to know who you’re looking at. The names would be very helpful for anyone interested in looking up info on that particular celebrity. The second thing I noticed are the vile and hateful comments left by some visiting the site. I no longer click on it because it can be unsettling to see how inhumane some people can be. Most of the comments have nothing to do with the article and generally serves no purpose whatsoever other than to spew hate, bigotry and political bias. If there’s a section that should be deleted instead of the names of celebrities in the Memba them section why not disabling comments?

I’ve had this app for as long as it’s existed and have always loved it. However, two problems have persisted through multiple updates. So what bugs are they actually fixing? 1. last year the captions stopped working for gallery photos. Halloween is a perfect example. Tons of people in costume and normally you see the photo once, tap it, and the same photo becomes captioned with the names. Not anymore. It’s just the photos. So annoying as there are always new celebs I’ve never heard of. I’ll google them and learn about a show they’re in that’s supposed to be amazing and tada! A new favorite show! Now it’s just some random person. Sometimes I won’t know a single person so it’s basically become pointless content. 2. The app support link takes you directly to the app. There’s not a single way to report problems. That’s crazy! There could be an issue that causes a TON of people to delete the app and they would only find out after a bunch of negative comments and reduced users. Why would you not want to learn about an issue right away so you can solve it? Fix these and you have 5 stars from me.

I’m glad that now captions show up on my iPhone for picture series like for the series where you see a picture of a celebrity as a child and try to guess who they are (I think this was a problem the app had with Apple devices, maybe). However - the biggest improvement is not allowing the awful comments to go up. The comments were often racist, sexist, and irrelevant to the article they were attached to. Shame on me for not complaining about them but kudos to TMZ for removing that forum for hate! 5 stars!
