First off, this app is fantastic. It has every site for Apple/Mac/iStuff you could possibly need/want, and you can choose which sites show up in the main feed. It is a literal plethora of news and information. If you’re an Apple nerd, you need this app.Second, the app itself works flawlessly. I have been using it on various devices for many, many years and almost never encounter any problems. Feeds refresh and update quickly and articles and sites load smoothly. In the *extremely* rare case an issue pops up, it is quickly addressed and back in working order at an impressive speed.Finally, the developer is first-rate. The app is well maintained and replies to user feedback are handled quickly, politely, and professionally - truly an example to his peers. The premium upgrade is worth every penny, not just to remove the ads, but to support a developer of this caliber.I highly recommend this app, and that you check out his other app, TechNewsTube, for all non-Apple-related tech news, as it is just as excellent and informative as MacHash.

I hope you check all problems and solve the ux problems and scrolling fixing is very speedy and not smoothly and must improve ui to be the best and improve speed the app and browsing and i hope you care about auto adblocking from websites removed all ads now to many apps add this future and i hope you to, one of them the “Brave browser” app auto removing ads, and improve fast loading- Bringing technology news from Tech news app to machash app, only tech news (android,ios,windows,gaming) , so we can get tech news in just one app, not two. If you are working on these features I would like to purchase the premium option and give you 5 stars ⭐️ from you and would like to add new features to improve the app. Honestly, I liked the application, but it has some problems that I hope to solve so that the experience is better

Nice app but could have better content control

A MacHash developer reached out about a previous post where I pointed out the horrific ads. He was accurate that the ads are not MacHash ads but instead ads from the content short I was looking at. He was right. On the home page for MacHash the ads are sensible and unobtrusive. But when I go into the content for certain providers is when I get the full screen, in your face, horrendous ads. So I’m changing the rating. I like MacHash, I have used it for some time. But if it is just going to aggregate the sites page then they should expose options to block ads or use the iOS built in ad blockers. If they gave you some control over these then I would raise it to 5 stars. Because of I view these sights in the browser I have that option and from the look of it they are just showing the sites page in their container.

Sorry you are experiencing that. We do not place any pop up or video ads in the app, never have. You are likely seeing the video ads from the third party websites you visit within the app which we do not have control over. Please let us know if there is a specific site that displays these popups and we will try to investigate further if there is something we can do to prevent that. There is a possibility to limit and block these types of ads with a Safari content blocker which can be used with the app if the Premium upgrade is activated, this also removes the app banner at the bottom of the screen. -----Previous response:As an ad supported free app which offers users the ability to turn off ads, we have little control over the content and advertisers that display via third party ad network partners. We do limit adult, spam, vices and other questionable ad formats. However on occasion ads may display in our apps that do not meet our standards. We will take action to limit these when reported. So I would encourage you to take a screenshot and reach out to us and we can try to prevent further undesirable ads.We also offer the option to disable the ad banner permanently for less than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Worst tech news app ever

This app consistently does not open ANY of the articles featured. Whenever I click on something I’m interested in the screen either goes to a white screen that that says “loading” or just a white screen AND NOTHING HAPPENS! At first I just thought it was a temporary glitch but nothing has changed over several months. I have the Drippler app which works every time. Because I have an iPhone I would love to get specific apple news, but not from this apparently.

Developer Response
MacHash is fully operational. Please make sure you are not trying to use the app while using a VPN or other proxy service which may interfere with third party web sites loading. If the app is not loading try our website machash.com and see if that is working. If you are still having trouble please send us an email and I will be happy to help you troubleshoot.
