Readable news stories, business advice, money tips, the list goes on. The Skimm gives you all the content you need to stay on top of adulthood without it feeling like a chore. Their pop culture infused news stories make staying up-to-date on the world quick, thorough, and entertaining. It’s now your one stop shop for news, business advice, and money tips too. I like forward to their podcasts every week! Can’t wait to see what The Skimm come out with next.
Does not work

The Skimm was recommended to me and the message that says the server is not working keeps coming up. Customer service got back to me once asking me to check my internet connection. It was fine, and I followed up saying the issue is still happening. Customer service has not gotten back to me after a few days.
Absolutely love it

Love The Skimm!! It’s daily news is digestible, keeps me up to date and provides a backstory if needed. They also hyperlink news articles if you want to know more about a certain point. I also love their podcasts 9-5 and Skimm which I listen to on Apple podcasts
Issues with App & No Support

I had issues with this app, emailed support twice , and didn’t hear anything for months until I emailed a third time and asked for a refund for my subscription. Even then, I was told to contact Apple. If only their customer service & tech was as good as their content.
Used to be an ambassador

They got too political and too one sided. Sadly, I stopped following all of their news outlets and regret ever buying their book.
Went downhill at breakneck speed

I used to feel like The SKIMM was a great, less biased source to get the basics. Leading up to the 2020 election and most certainly afterwards, when there was loads of evidence coming forth about voter fraud (easily found and verified), The SKIMM kept emphasizing that it was ridiculous (in their tongue-in-cheek way). Regardless of who anyone voted for...the fraud and criminal activity surrounding it is beyond scary and threatens the fiber of the American way. I’d say THAT is newsworthy and certainly doesn’t deserve the condescending dismissal it has received by The SKIMM. Terribly disappointed.
Worth it
Reader from TX
I’ve been a fan/ reader for quite a while, the only hitch being that the daily emails never quite made it to my inbox with any regularity. Filters? Something else? I asked, but it never got fixed. Finally broke down and paid my way, and things are better. I love the fresh tone and telegraphic style.
