The Daily Beast App for Negative User Reviews
✓ New Layout - not greatI don’t care for the new layout. I liked the Cheat Sheet having the column of headlines on the left and articles on the right. Same for the home page - though the layout there is a little better than the cheat sheet..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Distracting adsThe app is COVERED in those animated ads for casinos and credit score offerings. It is so distracting that is almost impossible to use. I read it through my browser now..Version: 7.2.0
✓ V9.0.0 update brokenV9.0.0 did nothing but crash after the update. Had to fully remove and reinstall to get it working again — at least it worked until the iOS 17.4.1 update then it crashed and wouldn’t open again. Did another full remove and reinstall to get it the app to run again. When is 9.0.1 coming out?.Version: 9.0.0
✓ ScamI have repeatedly contacted their support because they took my $35 and they won’t let me on the website to download the app again it doesn’t work it doesn’t work just doesn’t work there thieves These thieves, thieves, thieves, thieves Do not give these people any money They’re thieves I’m not sure the Better Business Bureau and then to Apple I guess.Version: 8.2.0
✓ Harder to log into than my bankJoined Beast Inside, but hard to use on the app, which constantly tries to resell beast inside. Log into the app, takes you out of the app to your email to a login link, back to the app where it doesn’t recognize me. My bank is easier to log into..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Love the content butDear god the ads! I’m a paid subscriber and I enjoy listening to music while reading and your ads consistently take over my device while scrolling an article. It’s frustrating.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Decent enough app but why the ads?With a paid subscription to The Daily Beast I shouldn't have to see Google ads. This is a deal breaker for me and I'm going to delete the app. Other than that, the interface and organization are fine. I'll wait until they streamline things a bit more and dump the ads..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Search FunctionWhy doesn’t this app have a search function? I like reading Rick’s & Molly’s columns but they are hard to find. Seems like a simple fix since DB charges for subscriptions. I’m thinking about canceling since the app and website lack a search capability..Version: 5.8.1
✓ Login button doesn’t workBought a one year subscription and I think they are trying to drive business away. The account login button doesn’t work on the iPad app. Nor does the login button work on the Safari or Firefox iOS apps for the iPad..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Copying a link is brokenAnd it’s been broken as long as I’ve used this app. You use the iOS share button select copy and it just copies the headline text not a link to the web article..Version: 8.6.2
✓ Pay for advertising?I subscribed thinking this news group would provide interesting and useful content. Nope. Disappointing. And then, they have ‘stories’ that are just stupid ads. What a total waste of everything..Version: 6.0.0
✓ App CrashesFor the last five days or so, the app has started crashing and then will not reopen. If I delete the app and download it again, it will work for short periods of time, but then will crash again. Delete and redownload seems to be the only fix and that’s temporary..Version: 9.0.0
✓ No Search Function?It seems there’s no search function, which really lowers the usefulness..Version: 7.2.0
✓ It used to be greatMy app just started to act up a couple days ago, crashing and stuff. Can't even open it up at this point. Hopefully they fix it, there's no point in having it like this..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Infuriating app I regret gettingAside from every third piece being a bizarre profile of a random bartender as if he was some kind of celebrity, or a review of some cocktail recipe or liquor label, most of the good content is "inside" and requires an additional subscription charge. Worse, the app has SO many (and such obnoxious) ads and pop-ups that the app crashes my phone nearly every time. The app also wont run if you have pop-up blockers running..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Great journalism- terrible App organizationI am a subscriber; an “Insider”. There must be a better way to organize the stories on this App. Just today (15. Nov. 2020) I’m trying to find the podcast featuring Marsha Gessen for members only. Impossible for me to find it scrolling around endlessly. Finally found it, but it’s locked! Oh, must have be accidentally logged out. I again scroll around endlessly until I finally find the login page within the “Subscribe Now” page. Log in, try to go to the Gessen podcast page, F**K. Can’t find it again? Please. - Please do a nice redo of the Beast app. I also subscribe to the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal. Sorry, but the organization of their apps are light years better!.Version: 5.8.1
✓ Getting trashyArticles are getting trashy, eg the flurry over someone’s shoe height. And, the ads are distracting, especially the ones that pop open as you’re scrolling, eg Monopoly. I will unsubscribe if this continues..Version: 8.2.0
✓ I used to use this App daily, no moreI actually downloaded an app that let me see exactly what app’s completely disregard privacy requests on my iPhone and this app was the #1 offender and sold or shared my data repeatedly even when I specified not to by engaging with their less than premium ad content. I literally said no personalization with the Google ad. And the very next ad the setting was on and of course the garbage ad followed. So, bye Beast, I love your content. I pay you and you still abuse my good will. I will be canceling..Version: 8.2.0
✓ Get your act together1. You charged me yesterday for a monthly. 2. And then you turned around and billed me today. Again. 3. So billed twice. 4. Bonus. Then you cancel my subscription. Please fix. Apple refuses to help. This is ridiculous..Version: 8.0.2
✓ A user nightmareThe app has great content, but it’s impossible to search. Too frustrating. Not sure I’ll continue subscribing..Version: 5.8.1
✓ Love the content but the ads are too much!Every scroll is met with an accidental click on an ad! I can’t scroll without playing hopscotch over the ads. The advertisers are likely seeing an incredibly high CTR as a result but there’s no question these are accidental engagements. Very frustrating experience!.Version: 8.2.0
✓ You will never be able to contact customer serviceI read the DailyBeast only through my browser. I already rage quit once last year, but I downloaded it again and have had the same problem. I cannot access my account password page to change my password. The app keeps telling me I need to reset my password because it is expired. They send me emails that sends me to a page with FAQs. I have not been able to change my password and this app is useless to me. If I get on the app to read anything, there is a big subscription, login banner at the top that I cannot get rid of..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Fixed article sidebarThere is no option to hide the sidebar that has the list of article in it. As a result, you can not read articles in fullscreen. Nearly half of the screen is devoted to this sidebar. It’s extremely obnoxious..Version: 5.2.2
✓ OBNOXIOUS ads and glitchesI like their reporting and they had a good deal for an annual subscription, so I doled out the $35… But when I pay for news I don’t expect to be bombarded with advertisements and glitchy apps. Frequently when I open the app all of the frames where there would be news stories are occupied by obnoxious repeated advertisements for the same product (likely a high-end source of revenue for the beast). After struggling to get the app to finally show the actual news, often times news stories will open to broken links. I shouldn’t have to struggle this much for something that I’m paying for. I think I’m gonna ask for my money back..Version: 7.3.0
✓ It is so hard to figure I out how t LISTEN to.I love the new abnormal and want to listen to the bonus issues. I can always READ it but the site is difficult for me to figure out how to listen. I’m going to stop paying for the bonus issues it frustrates me too much..Version: 6.0.0
✓ It's alrightI mostly like it. I'm a subscriber, but sometimes the app won't show me a story and have to go read it on the web anyway. In the story's place is a form to sign up for email newsletters. It doesn't make any difference if I sign up for the newsletter or not, it just doesn't show the story. It's kind of pointless. Now that I'm here complaining about stuff, also I really don't like that I can't use my password manager to log in. They have some kind of weird form controls that aren't really username/password text boxes in the normal sense. They can't be auto filled and must always be pasted into..Version: 8.5.3
