Barstool Sports

Don’t use the app if you actually want to read the blog. Pages won’t load. It’s just an unworkable app. Adds okay in the background.

I can’t get through a single article without a pop up or an ad playing jingle bells disrupting. It’s annoying

This app has never improved in the history of this company. Won’t stop playing ads, can’t pause them. And stops any music you’re listening to while surfing the app. Absolutely atrocious and frustrating

Where to start? Barstool Sports should rename itself to Barstool TMZ, there’s a max of 2 sports blogs per day, but don’t worry you’ll several Taylor Swift blogs along with Tic Toc content, woohoo!! The content has taken a nosedive, and the actual app is horrendous. We’re talking full page ads that cover the entirety of the blog with no way to remove them. Oh and make sure your phones charging when you use the app cause it kills battery life at an impressive speed. You constantly have to refresh blogs just to read through them (if you’re lucky enough to get a blog without a full page ad). Oh and videos pick and choose if they can handle landscape mode. Horrible app, Portnoy doesn’t care anymore and it’s very clear.

Love the content but this app is the worst. Drains battery, ad glitches, video issues. Use a browser on the web instead of this garbage.

This app has become unusable the past couple months. Ads pop up and the only thing you can do is exit the app to make them go away

Using a modern Apple iPhone, the ads take over a massive amount of the screen and don’t push the blog down so you have to scroll, no it’s over the blog itself. Not to mention the ad is clearly optimized for a computer screen and their devs failed to account for a mobile screen. They do have a skip button. It’s tiny but it’s there. Problem is seconds after you skip and make it go away, the ad returns blocking everything only this time? No skip button. Barstool has consistently made the user experience worse and worse for years but this takes the cake. Hire a freaking dev team that knows what they’re doing. This is embarrassing for a company of this size. I work in software development and I’d be ashamed to put something out to a user in this state.

Really annoying to see the big ad cover entire articles

Whoever programmed the ads needs to be fired. They block the entire article with no way to minimize. The only way to stop it is to delete the app forever!

Can’t even read the blogs on the site with the ads taking up the entire page over the blogs/videos.
