Reason for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs a good updateApp hasn’t been updated in 5 years and it looks it. Some links don’t work and articles and titles are sometimes a random string of characters..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Not reason magazineThis is some dude’s blog… mixed with some links to legit Reason articles anyone can access for free at Reason’s website or Instagram. No content in the videos, articles, or the .org part of the app anymore… so I am guessing Reason shut down the use of the original content the blogger doesn’t have permission to redistribute. Point is… this is not Reason Magazine… it’s just a way for an industrious Libertarian to get his blog out there. Not really a bad place to view all the articles in one place and the blogs are clearly marked… but it’s worth paying the $1.99 to gain access to the real Reason Magazine app..Version: 1.11.2
✓ 👎Great magazine , great philosophy , horrible app.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Crashes and pop-upsAsking whether I want to exit the app and read articles on a website instead. And did I mention it crashes pretty much all the time?.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Why wouldn't I want to read an article in the App?Why cant I read an entire article in the app? I literally had to click through 3 screens to read one article. Why even use the app????.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Not user friendlyThis app could be so much better but the interface is not user friendly or aesthetic. It seems extremely compact and it’s hard to navigate..Version: 1.11.2
✓ I love Reason...But god do I hate having to choose how I want to read the article. I want to read it in the app!!! I don't want to have to click through 3 pages to read an entire article. Not sure if if that's an accurate number but I know for sure the app doesn't value my time it loves unnecessary clicks on my part if I want to read an entire story..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Horrible appNo way to search articles. And the app doesn’t show headlines on my phone anymore. Even with an update. It just shows the author of each article. So there’s no way to know what you’re reading unless you tap into the article first..Version: 1.11.2
✓ The free market can’t create a good Reason appThis is by far the worst news/magazine app I’ve seen in both style and function. It’s barely usable and a complete eyesore. I recommend getting the print publication for sure. The website is also very good, even on mobile web. But don’t even bother with this mobile app unless they fix it someday..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Bad UII like Reason but the app looks like it hasn't been updated since 2010. The UI looks like it was made to fit in with the ugly pre-iOS 7 look..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Great magazine bad appReason is an amazing magazine that offer plenty of thoughtful and timely articles. So it is infuriating that they have such a poorly designed outdated app. I bet they would win many more subscribers if they would bother to put out a decent app..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Garbage appLet’s start with the fact there are different apps in AppStore and both are horrible. There is no way to search articles and interface is terrible..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Pop up leavesHad for awhile. Great for alternative viewpoint but recently won’t load at all, briefly appears and drops off screen. FWIW, my other apps are working fine..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Desperately needs an updateLove the content but this app is woefully out of date..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Some IssuesLove the content but this app has some issues. None of the titles are loading on my app, so I have to click to see the title. Have tried reinstalling app, but it didn't fix the issues..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Love The Idea, Old ExecutionThe app is really good for being able to access important news whenever you want, but it’s like using a first generation app..Version: 1.11.2
✓ I was a foolImagine my surprise when I opened the newly downloaded iPhone app and see the words "If you were dumb enough to buy an iPhone...". Well, I was dumb enough, but I am smart enough to delete this app. I really wish I hadn't subscribed to Reason on my Nook before I saw this, and you can bet there will not be a renewal in my future. No, I am not thin skinned, but I expect to see respect for customers from any business..Version: 0
✓ App needs workLet me begin by saying that the content of the app is great. The delivery of the content inside the app is not so great. I don't understand why the app will not open an article inside the app. When you want to read something, you have to exit the app and go to the website for Reason. Why even have an app if I have to read everything on the website? If the articles would open in the app (as they should in an app) then this would have five stars..Version: 1.10
✓ Great news....terrible app.I guess the free market does not pertain to programmers and app developers or if it does, Reason just doesn’t pay. This app is pathetic and just drives you to their site for any decent article. Reason should be embarrassed. This app is the equivalent of a libertarian presidential run-underperforming and unimpressive in delivering quality content..Version: 1.11.2
✓ What a shameReason is an excellent source of credible information. It’s truly a shame that their organization evidently commits no funding to their mobile platform. Their readers and supporters deserve better..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Good website bad appOverall it is pointless to get the app. They ask you to go to their website all the time and the pages never want to load. Don’t wast your time.Version: 1.11.2
✓ ClickbaitThe app is designed to drive traffic to Reason’s web site, and with unnecessary clicks..Version: 1.11.2
✓ I would like to love it....I find quite a few of the articles interesting, however, if I have to click 3 places just to read an article, I will pass. Update it soon or off my phone it goes..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Love the articles, app needs an update.Love the news.... but the apps needs some real TLC. Seems very “iPod” era..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Considering it no longer opens...Yeah, this is a problem for an app and publication I used to read daily. Please address..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Good lord this app is uglyI only gave it two because I love the content so much. The app itself looks like a jail broken iPod touch app from 2010 vomited on a geocity. Can we get some modernizing of this one?.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Some problemsThere is some problems with the sharing in FB.Version: 1.9
✓ IPhone 4 troublesThanks for adding fast app switching, no thanks for not having a refresh button in any of the sections. Now I need to open up the task switcher and close the app, then re open it in order to get updated stories... Also a pop down for comments would be nice, and hi res art..Version: 0
✓ Horrendous appWhy don’t libertarians ever rank in any election? Because they take the assignment as seriously as they take this app. What a bunch of entitled self absorbed idiots. This would have been a terrible app in 2007, it’s inexcusable in 2023 and should be ejected from the App Store. Dog s_-_. An absolute embarrassment..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Useful but limitedIt works fine on my iPad2 with iOS 5. it presents a iPhone sized image. But you can expand the image by pressing the "2x" button in the lower right corner. The resulting display is bigger and quite readable but contains no additional content. The content is a version of what is on their web site. Each posted item has a "View Original Item" link at the end which sends you to the full version of the item on their web site (launches Safari). I do wish the articles were dated and they would have a higher-resolution version for the iPad..Version: 1.5
✓ YikesJust a bit biased....Version: 1.11.2
✓ Good, butWhen I try to share something on facebook, it doesn't attach the link, and so far I haven't found a way to attach it manually. this was one of the main reasons I downloaded this app, please fix!.Version: 1.6
✓ Libertarian except on vaccine choice.I used to love reason until they advocated for vaccine tyranny. Please fire Ronald Bailey. When reporting on vaccines you should probably be more neutral and interview people advocating for vaccine safety too. Please interview nvic, Dan Olmsted, moms against Mercury, generation rescue, pave, or bobby Kennedy jr to get a story from both sides. Otherwise it seems like you are writing under the payroll of Pharma and you belong to an opinion news source like fox or cnn..Version: 1.11
✓ Please make a iPad version!Really need to make an iPad version, I just makes Sense to have it on a bigger screen.Version: 1.5
✓ Abandoned and outdatedNo iPhone X support and no Apple Watch app.Version: 1.11.2
✓ No Commets, No StarsThis app is useless without the comments. Allow us to read the comments using this app and I would love it..Version: 1.11
✓ Decent, but bugged.An easy way to access articles, for sure. However, links in articles don’t work (this includes both links to full versions of the articles being read and links to external sources). You click them and get no response..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Great app, when it worksCrashes iPhone 4s when you load more Brickbats and then try to select one. It would also be nice if the share to Facebook feature actually worked. Come on REASON!! What's the problem? You guys are smart. Fix this friggin' App!!!!!!.Version: 1.6
