Was running 2.1.70 (21723) Can't update (to 2.2...) for not compatible with iPad 4th Gen. This 2.2.24 allows me to update. Now app just quit on start... 😔

Great pics Bring back save image option!

Great site with a great app

If you want something that constantly crashes and you have to logon every few minutes while being blasted with ads that come free with the ad-free membership then this app is for you! Just when you thought the App and site cannot get any worse, you’ll hear John say “hold ma beer”. By far one of the worst app I have ever used.

Not gonna go into the plethora of what has gotten worse. Not enough room or time for it. This once was a great app. But somewhere, someone decide they would change it. Go back to the version from 3-4 years ago and fire whoever is updating it. John should absolutely be ashamed of what it has become!!!!!!!!

What happened to this app? It is totally unusable - these old reviews are just propping it up - if it was rated just on reviews from the last year it would be a 1 star app

Recently was logged out of my chive account and lost access to majority of the content. no big deal I forget my passwords all the time. Tried to reset password but am unable to because my username is not recognized. No problem, I’ll create a new one but can’t because my email address is linked to an account. Again no problem, I’ll email chive customer service but the app does not work. All in all the chive has been a great app/community over the past 10 years but this needs to be fixed. The app has proven unhelpful in fixing my problem but as soon as that is fixed I will give 5 stars as everyone should. This app/community is one of a kind. Had the problems fixed multiple times but always comes back. The chive used to be easy but I’m not sure what has happened. Great content, terrible app.

App can be quirky and has issues at times. There are links to contact support but you get absolutely no feed back or assistance when you submit. Content can be a little monotonous as well.

The scrolling lag/freezing is unbearable. Can’t get through a single post before getting frustrated and just closing the app

App hasn’t been stable or without glitches in YEARS now. For example, when viewing a gallery, if you hit the “thumbnail” icon in the top right, you USED to be able to go to that picture (like a couple of years ago), then it would show you the picture exactly 5 back from the one you were trying to select, now after today it’s random, but still not the picture you select. Maybe instead of trying to make millions selling shirts/ coins/ ads, you should go back to perfecting what brought you the success in the first place- your app. The ChiVE preaches anti-corporate greed, but the app and customer experience has been greatly suffering as time goes on and they make more money…
