## Fark® Not News Reader Description
FARK Reader version 7.0.0 has been redesigned to take advantage of the latest features of iOS 16 and 17. It now better adapts across various screen sizes for iPhone, iPad, Mac and widget.

What is Fark?  "The first thing you should know is that Fark.com isn't a Weblog. Fark.com, the web site, is a news aggregator and an edited social networking news site. Every day Fark receives 2,000 or so news submissions from its readership, from which we hand-pick the funny and weird notable news -- and not-news -- of the day." (www.fark.com)

What can I do with the app?
Quickly scan the latest Fark headlines from many categories (Main, Sports, Business, STEM, Entertainment, Politics, Fandom, Fark Party, Podcast, D'awww, Food).  Select the funniest, stupidest, or most interesting.  Read what other Farkers are saying and add your own thoughts.  Share headlines/links with friends via email, text message, or social media.

"..it's pretty clear that it's funny.  Really funny.  So, to both Farkers of the world and to those who have never heard of it…if you like the site, there’s an app for that, too."
Bonnie Eisenman, 148apps.com

## Fark® Not News Reader Reviews in United States

### *---- "Too many ads"
Every article is loaded with so many ads you can’t read it. For comparison, pull up a story on Fark, then pull up the same story on the original website. The difference is night and day. What finally drove me off was the long unskipable ad for that King game (King’s Ransom?) I know they need to sell ads to make money, but they’ve made the site unreadable with too many ads.
-- SkolVikes23, 2024-10-08

### **--- "Turn off Autoplay?"
80-90% of articles have full screen autoplay videos that are persistent (pop back up after being closed). Very hard to use this app. Of course this is not really the dev’s fault because the content is hosted on the sites that are being linked to, but perhaps there can be an implementation of limiting autoplay videos?
-- Redline-ridah, 2024-08-19

### *---- "Waaay too many ads"
Adds that start full
Volume are a deal breaker.  The app is super glitchy too
-- Johne3819, 2024-08-04

### *---- "Getting worse"
Even with paid subscription, forces ads from other sites that you can’t close.  Starting to become unusable
-- Too long trip, 2024-07-31

### ****- "Use to be good, now, not so much"
News/ad/N/Ad-Ad/NAd-Ad/Ad
Enough is too mach
-- Last Reader, 2024-07-18

### ***-- "Fark is linking to annoying links now"
Been reading Fark (and paying for it happily) for years.   Love the puns, references to things only older folks know.  Great app first thing every morning.  BUT, lately the links go to articles protected by a paywall, or worse to sites that autorun a commercial in the middle of the article an there is no way to get ‘er gone.  Shut the commercial and it immediately returns. Have to shut Fark and restart then avoid the article.   Truly annoying.  Happening several times a day now.  Otherwise it's six stars.
-- hopeless class, 2024-05-15

### *---- "Ads"
Full of so many hostagetaking ads. What a joke. The last thing I want on my phone is some 30 second video of a game that I can’t click out of.      Absolute woke piece of garbage.
-- eeerrriiiccccc, 2024-03-20

### ****- "Topics not correct"
All of the topics other than “Main” are messed up. It appears that the “Main” topic contents are displayed under all of the other topics. I.e.: “Politics” has the exact same topics as Main, Sports, Entertainment,etc.. Deleted/reinstalled same results. On IOS 17.1.2….
Update: seems to have been resolved
-- AuroraMike, 2023-12-10

### **--- "Ok when it works"
Every few weeks the app will close as soon as you open it, the only solution is to reinstall it. Then you get a new problem as every section has the exact same content as Main for a couple weeks. Then you get a few weeks with it working like it should before the headache starts all over. Easier to just open Fark in a mobile browser.
-- Stikboy, 2023-12-08

### **--- "Ad-Free - videos"
I paid the annual subscription to get ad-free.  Now when click the links to get the article- I get videos that are not ads - i get videos of teeth whitening, body growths, sores, moles etc…  Maybe someone thinks the videos are cool, but I find most of them gross and have cancelled my renewal- in 10 months.  And I won’t be using the Fark app anymore.  Waste of money. 

When I click on links directly out of fark.com, this does not happen- it is not website related -these videos are only in this app.
