Twitchy 12+

I started using this app way back when Michelle Malkin first developed it.
It was better back then. Now I use it because I’m intentionally not on Twitter but I like to see what hypocrisy and garbage the media puts forth each day.
They’ve tried to carry on but it’s changed a bit - they tend to cull the same twitter users’ content over and over. They’re good teeeters to cite but it gets old. I’m really tired of them featuring Alyssa Milano and other minor celebrities’ political opinions to make fun of them. How about just ignoring them?
They do a good job compiling stories but I wish Sam J (editor) didn’t feel the need to insert her own voice in her introductions so often. It’s changed the perspective and seems less professional
and more like you’re reading someone’s blog. Sometimes there are spelling errors and sloppy writing, repeated bad jokes ...That said, it’s still a resource I use and check daily! There’s not another app like it.

When I do read a particularly good thread and want to share it with friends I can only share to Twitter or Facebook. It would be nice if we could copy a link for sharing via text, messenger or IG. I know they’re trying to monetize it by putting bigger articles behind a paywall and that doesn’t really bother me. Nothing good can be free.

Annoying ads, scrolling problems on iPhone, peekaboo ads in the middle of the articles and google ads covering the bottom of the page, then pay to play because the ads are losing not gaining business, and now articles which crash, burn, reload and crash again, finally leaving a blank screen.
This was a 5* app for me, but much less useful now.
It’s not worth paying for such poor application development.
I’m going to bet you have more users deleting the app than paying to remove only some of the aggravation.

Aggravation continues. Articles open, crash, burn, rinse, repeat. Never opening long enough to start scrolling. Awful.

First review I have ever written. I love twitchy! Before the pay wall, I would scroll through several times a day on my iPhone X. As soon as the pay wall began, there was a lot of difficulty scrolling in portrait mode when you open the articles. It just doesn’t work, requiring you then to turn on the phone and read the article in landscape mode. Then I turn the phone back to portrait mode to look at the main page, and back to landscape mode to read the article. In the article, that’s the only way to move the ads. Additionally when the pay wall started they removed anyway to contact Twitchy for help. I keep coming back hoping they’ll fix it because I really like the website, but they just don’t. It’s so very disappointing. If I had a way to contact twitchy directly to ask for help I would, but all I have is this Review, so take my one star, even though you haven’t earned it. I almost wish I never started reading them at all.
