theCHIVE

Good job on making a completely broken, spam fill app. You can’t listen to music and scroll this app at the same time. Plus every now and then it takes your phone over with advertisements. Lame. This app is slightly worse than your confusing website. Maybe take some resources out of making KCCO shirts and redo your web and app design. Just saying. No one needs 20 million different KCCO shirts. Jeez. I’ve been a fan for years but it’s getting ridiculous. App is pretty much the worst in the store.

An update at some point started pausing music when the app is opened. Most of the time it happens when I scroll past an ad. That sucked but it seemed like a glitch. Now it happens with most ads and sometimes when I first open it. I don't open it much anymore.

This app is great with the exception of the inability to disable sound from advertisements.

Horrible Blasting Commercials super loud and can’t be muted. I just dump the app.

The app is really bad. Ads constantly pausing my Spotify or YouTube while I’m trying to browse is extremely infuriating. It’s just really buggy. The memes are funny enough even though most of the content is stolen compilations from other sites.

So the Chive was apolitical and even ran a series about getting along. But Bill is posting stuff about student loans and Taylor Swift. I respected the the Chive, I wanted to reach out to them directly but there are no report buttons no contact info so I am hoping they check for bad reviews. Bill needs to keep his politics out of the posts. That ain’t funny and really man not what a charity should be doing. I hope Bill paid his student loans. I paid mine and still want everyone else’s forgiven because it is the right way to fix the predatory lending that occurred.

The chive app either kills all music from another app or random advertisement music starts playing.

Congratulations Chive! You’ve taken an app which 6-8 years ago was really good and slowly eroded it into a piece of garbage. Each update amazingly makes it worse! Keep phoning it in, if you’re even doing that.

The latest in a long history of problems with this app: It causes podcasts to pause when the stupid ads at the bottom of the screen refresh.

The content is great, but the app is buggy. Sometimes they find the fix…sometimes you go “months” having crash after crash. It’s not worth paying for unless they fix the bugs in a timely manner.
