HuffPost - News & Politics

The media’s job is to report the news not create the news

I love HuffPost. It’s the first news source I go to to get a quick, comprehensive review of the latest news.

Can't say much as now the app doesn't open...

it's a well functional and solid app, easy to navigate, speed is ok, layout clear... better than lots of other news apps out there.

Great content, horrible app. Freezes my phone on the regular.

The app has always been buggy with pages loading sporadically and then reloading as the inline ads are inserted. The latest (July 2024) refresh has reached new depths on the usability scale. It’s probably time to make some room on my iPad for other apps.

One of the worst apps on my phone. Every single time I use it it’s glitchy and buggy. Regardless of how many times I updated. Up your game, HuffPost.

Reply to comment email link should open comments. It opens story only. Must doom scroll to reply. Frustrating. Malicious pop up ads appear to have been fixed as of June 2024. Ads are still everywhere though like most sites and slow down the app. Need remove ads option.

This app should come with a trigger warning. It randomly pays videos in articles even though the sound is muted and your ringer is off. HP still overrides your preferred settings and has scared me into paralytic cataplexy multiple times now. (Narcolepsy but paralytic) I had also picked up my phone to pursue an article quickly prior to a conference call and forgot to lock it when finished. Lo and behold, it’s blaring the ad again… Except I’m on the phone with some high dollar clients. Luckily, it was face to face zoom but really? That’s embarrassing and HP should be mortified they even allow such trash development. (Coming from development)

In the comment section I am continuing to get pop-up ads. They take up the whole page and I have to click off of the page and start again! This is the only app on my phone that I have this problem with and it is extremely annoying! I’ve never had this happen on my phone before but this has been going on for over a month! I have to assume that this is an HP app problem since it doesn’t happen anywhere else! Unacceptable.
