theSkimm

Great app for daily quick info. Giving three stars due to the fact some political views in the notes are incorrect. Maybe try using the word "allegedly" in some views if there isn't hard evidence. And I don't mean from the regular news networks with incorrect facts. Try as much as possible to be apolitical.

My app has been crashing for days..

App keeps crashing.

This used to be one of my favorite apps. I love the calendar and how it kept me up-to-date on current events. However, it’s no longer compatible with Apple’s new operating system and nobody seems to respond about a fix.

This app has so many errors. I try to sync it with my calendar on iPhone multiple times and it doesn’t work. None of the support articles help. I’ve had the subscription for probably four years and the calendar worked for maybe a half of one year. I love theSkimm but the app needs a lot of work.

This app is wonderful for getting the news without unintentional exposure to traumatic images, video or triggering headlines. As a therapist I recommend it with clients struggling with the weight of news and social media. My only complaint is that while I fully support staff taking holidays off, you still are paying the monthly subscription no matter what. But still worth it!

This morning one of the stats presented was 2/3 of Palestinian casualties are women and children. Short stats like these are misleading and signal certain political leaning. What’s the back ground on this stat? Did Palestine have twice more women and children or are majority Palestinian men in Hamas? Did Hamas intentionally build HQ and military bases under population centers and hospitals and even use ambulances to transport Hamas fighters? Where’s the stat on annual funding Hamas receives from US and they have built 500mils of tunnels and how much did they spend on civilian infrastructure? I’m unsubscribing.

I’ve had the app for many years now and the content is really digestible and easy to read. I wish the calendar would integrate correctly with google calendar. I continue to have errors when trying to connect it, I’ve reached out to customer service and they helped me but now I’m not able to get a response back. I would like to keep the app but not be renewing when that time comes around.

Have an issue with calendar sync, which is one of the best features of this app. However for me it doesn’t work. Had emails going back and forth, but no resolution. They have now ghosted me. Also if you have an issue their error messages are poor. Do not recommend. Expensive subscription for lack of support.
