Drudge Report (Official‪)‬ 17+

I can only speak for myself and my experience with this app. For those with issues I hope they are soon resolved. I have used this app for the last year with no issues. It has provided me with reliable accesses to up to date Drudge Report News headlines with one click rather than having to surf my way over to Drudge via Safari.

Dear creators: I like to read my news in landscape view rather than portrait. However on occasion while in landscape view it switches back to portrait when I do not want it to. Please prevent the app from switching back to portrait when the phone is completely turned upside down, i.e. the home button is on top & the speaker is at the bottom. Fix that and you'll get 5 stars from me.

Today, and for the last several months, this app is a pain to use. But only a few months ago it was the best Drudge app and better than reading the Drudge site on a mobile browser. That was way back in version 3. Versions 4 and 5 seem to have completely rebuilt the app from scratch. Now this app is inferior to simply reading Drudge in my browser. I'm currently trying out alternative Drudge apps now, because after being a user of this app for years, I find it is no longer convenient or a pleasure to use. I'm severely disappointed because I used to get a lot of enjoyment and information from this app several times each day. It was my go-to when I had a spare minute of down time to kill anywhere, anytime. Now the app is absolutely incapable of showing me Drudge in the timeframe of a spare minute. And believe me, I've tried and tried. I hated to give up because I loved this app once. But now it simply won't perform. As others have said, it's slow, it refreshes and reframes spontaneously and it's riddled with app-store pop-up adds to the point that it's nearly unusable. I have to work hard to make it work. It's so frustrating. I rarely write reviews, but the unusually disappointing decline in quality of this once-great app has moved me to speak up about it.

I have 3 other Drudge apps, one which I paid for and the others free, and I find myself always coming back to this one. It looks like the web page and updates often.

I've only had it crash once but then again I update often, so, much like every piece of software on the planet, it won't always work correctly if you don't keep it updated. Yeah I know it's annoying but such is life in the information age.

The paid version with the fancy colors falls behind on updating. Even now it's showing the same headline from a couple of hours ago and looks totally different from what is on the Drudge website at the moment. I suppose it would be handy if you want to look at old news you missed lol. Even after updating it still has not refreshed. Maybe if they fixed it, it would be worth the $.99 if you want to see a red bar at the top of the screen.
