Shady Subscription Practices
They don’t provide reminders on upcoming billing charges, and don’t provide refunds. So set a calendar reminder if surprise $400+ annual charges aren’t your thing.

The Information Reviews
Sycophants for big tech
I was expecting The Information would have a deep understanding of how the tech industry works, as well as insider knowledge you couldn’t find in other media. And in that they succeeded. But I was ALSO hoping they would use understanding and knowledge to create hard-hitting journalism that held tech to account like no other publication could. And in that, they failed. The Information just fawns over and fetes tech, like everybody in the tech echo chamber wants and expects (and I say this as a tech insider). Sadly, this is just yet another VC newsletter self-aggrandizing tech. There’s no real journalism going on here. Too bad, as we’re in desperate need of someone knowledgeable who can finally hold our industry to account.
App still buggy
Email an article to someone, and after that, screen goes blank and app has to be rebooted. Truly sad that the product of a company that specializes in the tech scene and charges an arm and a leg can’t get its act together on a basic mobile news app.
They play hardball on the annual rebill
Pro tip: Cancel your subscription immediately after signing up. Let them lure you back with a discount each year. (They will as their tactics smell of desperation) Otherwise, they will jack up your bill by $100 each year once they get you.
Awful onboarding
Pathetic for a tech media company. GET SOME PROFESIONAL DESIGNERS....DUH
Dark mode!!!
How hard is it for a mobile app in 2024 to implement a dark mode? Especially a reading app?! What’s the point of this app if reading it in a browser provides a more pleasant experience?
No iPad app?
I would be so much more likely to add The Information to my daily reading routine if there were an iPad app.
still no dark mode?
love the new look and everything but how on earth do we not get the option to enable dark mode yet? it’s truly mind boggling
Flop app flop website flop everything. Not worth it
I’m trying to read one singular article and it keeps saying I’m not signed in. I didn’t even want the app to begin with I just wanted to read an article. I will definitely be avoiding this site in the future.
dark mode
how is dark mode not an option in this day and age? my eyes are burning at night…
