## The Hill Reviews in United States

### *---- "No longer works on my iPhone"
Used to read it regularly, now it never finishes loading, the page is slightly darkened like it’s going to show me an ad first or something but never does- deleted and reinstalled several times over several months
-- going crazy, wanna come?, 2024-10-03

### *---- "Search?"
Why is there no search function?
-- Lbb972, 2024-09-11

### **--- "Stop Hijacking My Audio"
This is the only news app that consistently hijacks my audio when launching it, making it impossible to listen to music while reading the morning news.
-- BeccaBits, 2024-08-23

### *---- "Formatting issue on iPad"
Work for one day, everything is up to date.  Landscape, I can read one line at a time, with rest screen filled with video.  Portrait words are cut off on sides.  iPad 11.
-- 6of13, 2024-04-04

### *---- "Worst news app ever, but best ads app"
You can’t even read an article, you get like 3 lines and then the whole rest of the screen is a video ad. This isn’t for video articles but text. Stupid.
-- Viva Vegas baby, 2024-02-14

### *---- "Recent update"
Recent update will not work. App asks for what news alerts I want and if I want weather updates, but will not give me the option me to move past those screens to the news feed.
-- Webbbbbbbbbb, 2024-02-08

### *---- "No longer works"
This used to be a good news app.  But, as of a few days ago it doesnt work.  I get a prompt about weather notifications then it freezes.   Have tried reinstalling a couple of times, but no use.   

Will just have to look at the web version
-- WolfDJX, 2024-02-06

### *---- "Lost a reader"
You have lost a reader with the latest app update. Just as happened with NewsNation you now make it almost impossible to READ articles because the video space takes up 3/4 of the screen on my IPad and android phone in horizontal mode. Plus, the text is so large that it won't fit on the screen in vertical mode. Ad money from videos is the reason. Too bad, The Hill was my go to app. Now I will use Politico and Guardian. They still appreciate their readers.
-- tames48, 2024-02-06

### **--- "Great Content, Lousy Code"
Have always enjoyed articles from The Hill that come to me via other news services. So I thought “why not get their app?”, and installed it on my 3rd Gen SE. 

My first impression was good, especially when I turned my phone sideways and the app adapted. And then I opened an article to read…

The scrolling is so jittery that I uninstalled right away. There is no excuse for this when virtually no one else has such an issue, and I’m surprised it even made it into the App Store. A bad reflection on Apple as well as Nexstar Media. Both should be embarrassed.
-- georgiabecker, 2023-09-30

### *---- "Bias"
The hill I thought was supposed to be different from other news networks and just report the facts. It’s very clear the direction the company leans. Time after time they take a side and you can see it in their reporting. They are not reporting the news they are reporting a narrative. Being disappointed I came here to write a review and what does the thumb nail picture have, a article portraying republican in a negative light. If you want a echo chamber for liberal Democrat talking points this is the site for you. But if you want fair, just the facts news I would suggest echo times. Do better The Hill!!
