Ratings and Reviews
Loading Ads Move The Content I Am Reading
The ‘for you’ tab is constantly loading ads in the background. That’s not a problem. You have a right to make money. The problem is when it loads a new ad that I have already scrolled past and that ad is a different size, it moves the article I am reading out of view. The page refreshes and I’m lost. This isn’t isolated, it’s constant. To the point where I lose articles all the time I am trying to read. I generally give up and go somewhere else. Shame because I love vice news.
Developer Response ,
Hi SpecialFlav - we're aware of this annoyance and are working on ways to address this. Hopefully will have an update soon.
Great app, needs better editors
Love vice news and their investigative journalism, the app is easy to use, and has lots of interesting articles.
However, they don’t seem to have proofreaders or editors checking the articles before uploading them. There are articles where the same paragraphs are repeated over and over, word misspellings (Vile instead of vial) that wouldn’t be picked up by Word but an editor could easily proof, and symbols in weird places. Even the biggest news organizations make mistakes, but when half an article is just duplicate paragraphs, kind of makes you not want to read or share it.
App doesn’t work at all
I downloaded the app and tried to create an account. The app looks nice; however, I can’t even create an account in order to view the articles. I tried my email address, my google, Facebook, and apple account, yet none of them allowed me to create an account or access the app. What’s the point in even having an account if it doesn’t even work? I also noticed that the last bug update for the app was a year ago! That doesn’t really help to raise confidence levels either. It looks like you hired someone to handle creating an app, they either quit or got fired and you said “F it” and gave up on rehiring someone. Hopefully you can get it together and fix the app soon because it can truly be a good place to get great information from.
