5/5I Read Everything
I can get my hands (iPad) on, from the sublime to the outer limits of ridiculous. That means I spend a lot on subscriptions, tho I (my wife) set limits, therefore I am forced to choose (cue sounds of quiet sobbing). The BEAST is near the tippy top of my list of favorites. One of the first I scan in the morning, then fill my time with during my very barely busy day. Oh, and just so you don’t get the wrong idea, I play lots of tennis too. What a lucky bastard I am! Please keep up the good work with your very gifted writers. Thanks.

1/5Not Worth the Trouble
I loved The Daily Beast until about a month ago. I used to open the app & read the news. Now I have to go to “accounts;” which takes me to another screen where I click on “manage my subscription;” which takes me to a page where I have to scroll down the page past several options e.g. change password, cancel, etc. to a section offering the options for world news, politics, cheat sheet etc. Clicking on the news takes me to the home page where I see a message telling me it is “loading” - it never does. I go back through the hoops & I click on Cheat Sheet where I am taken to a screen with several numbered articles which do not change on a daily basis. I tried deleting the app & reinstalling several times with no luck. So frustrating. I am canceling my subscription.

5/5Just became a member
Have enjoyed The Beast for a long time but the dynamic duo of Jong and Wilson made me want to read and hear more and (most of all) support all The Beast stands for. The fact that Molly and Rick (who would have been oil and water in the past) mix so well to make the perfect cocktail antidote to the times we are working through gives me strength and hope and (just as important) makes me laugh when there is so little of that about. Keep up the fight—it ain’t over yet!

2/5Poor digital execution
The Daily Beast has always had poor execution on their website and apps. I constantly feel like a beta tester. What works on one platform doesn’t work on another. Usually the iOS apps are the losers. I had high hopes for the completely redesigned iOS app. For about 20 seconds. Right out of the gate it lacks my favorite features entirely. No quick review Cheat Sheet. NO CROSSWORD PUZZLE. Both of these are still on the web browser version. Are they going to phase out the crossword puzzle entirely? Or just never have it in the app? Speaking of the crossword puzzle and their bad history of making changes that break things, if you’re doing it in the web browser version, the new ad style with ads on the right messes up doing the puzzle. It breaks the feature of hitting return to go to the next word. The ad steals the focus of the mouse and you have to click in the puzzle to continue. Just a lot of stupid examples like this of their horrible digital execution and lack of testing or just plain not caring.

2/5Great journalism- terrible App organization
I 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!
