  1. 5/5Pleasantly Surprised

    So, I had never even seen the daily mail prior to downloading the app. I downloaded all the news apps I could find. I wanted to see what had interesting content as well as informative. Daily mail is now my go to news site because they have the political news mixed with the salacious news stories you cannot find anywhere else. All the stories are highly, highly detailed and comprehensive often with videos and always with probably more pictures than you need, although I appreciate them as they help to put you inside the story. This might be my second online review. I wish I didn’t like the daily mail and it was the Wall Street journal I liked better so I sound more sophisticated, but not so... anyway. Just go to the website, check out both the UK and Us sections... oh and us citizens, vote in Nov (regardless of your political leaning go vote).

  2. 1/5Do Better DM

    I downloaded this app as the Daily Mail website became so inundated with glitches and bugs. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the app was just as bad as the website. I have had multiple instances of being redirected to advertisements that I was scrolling past while reading articles, stories that will not load, and many times I can't even access the app at all. The most annoying glitch I have noticed, however, is that my comments will not post. This is not due to my comments going against the house rules, but because of a "technical issue" according to Daily Mail. I have contacted Daily Mail multiple times about the app not posting my comments. To my dismay, every time I attempt to speak to a customer service rep, I am connected to a rep by the name of "Jordan" who I now know is an AI assistant. "Jordan" always tells me that it's an unfortunate bug, however, doesn't give me any information on how to fix it. This issue seemed to get worse after I updated the app, shocker. This glitch is especially annoying as it has also made it impossible for me to flag inappropriate comments as well. It is incredibly frustrating when I can't post a comment that abides by the house rules, yet I read terribly inappropriate comments from other DM users that I am not permitted to flag. I have made sure that my account is active and I don't have any restrictions on it either and I still can't post comments, sadly Daily Mail doesn't seem to be concerned about this issue.

  3. 1/5One of the worst apps of any kind

    I’ve played extremely janky games that don’t slow down or crash as much as this app does. I have used this app for hundreds of hours for years on an iPad Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and my new iPhone 15 Pro Max - and it has issues on all of them. On my 11 Pro Max it got to be so bad that I could feel the phone heating up to where it would almost burn my hand if I didn’t have a case on it. It didn’t use to be that way, but over the last six months that’s been happening. I have never had any app do that, and I’ve played some very intense FPS games on the 11 Pro Max. My iPad Pro doesn’t ever heat up because of this app, but it has the most issues with the app overall. App issues: slow loading on startup, slow updating of news articles, slow navigation in and out of articles, slow or freezing in comments sections (and there are two different types of comment sections: one older style and one newer style - Daily Mail is dumb for not choosing one or the other and making a permanent change). The newer comment section you can change your up/down arrow vote if you choose the wrong one accidentally, but otherwise I tend to get stuck in the comment section and can’t back out of it in the new one. I know I can’t be the only one experiencing all of these issues. Random crashing is frequent too. If you really insist on supporting this “news media organization” by viewing the articles, just use a browser to access their website: it’s faster and doesn’t really crash, but you’ll have to put up with more ads. Daily Mail’s writing is atrocious, the app is terrible, and I think the articles are designed to stir up social discontent. However, they also have some bizarre and unique stories and are often the first to break important news. Good luck if you use this app and fill your mind with its stories.

  4. 1/5You guys race bait… Terrible!!!!

    You seem to promote a significant number of articles promoting white anger. From Critical Race Theory to articles saying whites should be eliminated to articles promoting a democratic effort to encourage immigration votes to sway elections to articles about confederate monuments…. This list of articles is as long as the space available on the web app to show any articles. I know that chaos sells, but to promote chaos is borderline criminal. There are far more instances of love and harmony in the world than the ratio of poor race-baiting reporting that you guys promote. I would have to assume the editors of this site have some deep seated insecurities about themselves to continue to clear these articles. Or, God forbid, they are evil and want to see people die. No one can deny the cruel and murderous history of America, but there is no plot being planned to eliminate white people. There are however efforts to live in a more just society, valuing each and every life with the same love and concern. I would ask that you stop race-baiting, and start highlighting more love and paying more attention to articles highlighting those who are fighting against a more just and loving society/county. God bless the USA.

  5. 1/5Stolen minutes of my life...

    The news is good, only if you don’t care about editing. Sometimes the stories could use a little more substance and the writing could actually be done by journalists instead of what seems like elementary students. The ads are the worst though. The Newzit ads that they sold out to, are trashy and you see them in every article. Images pop up that I wouldn’t want my kids to see. It’s clear that the DM has no standards. Their regular ads are inconvenient and noisy as well. You might be really into a touching news story, and while you scroll through the pictures some loud video selling some irrelevant product pop up. And when you try to hit the “x” to close it, it’s only a fake one, so it takes you to the website instead. So much for the story you were reading. At this point you just want to throw your phone against the wall out of frustration. Why do I use the app? It used to be good. Everyday I hold on to the dream that the DM will return to their ideals and create journalism that changes us as a society for the better. Not just click-bate stories that are inconclusive and speculative at best.
