Ads
Uglyogrerox!
An ad every now and then isn't bad, but it's non-stop! As soon as I get back to the app, I'm taken away again! It's ridiculous. It's almost like you don't even want us to read your articles.
Terrible Ad Serving

No ads will ruin your reading experience until you are suddenly flooded with close to 20 ads at once, usually in the middle of a great article--leaving you ready to throw your cell phone really hard into the face of the Cracked leadership that ok'd this revenue model.
Love the site, hate the ads

App has constant ads that if you're lucky only pop you out of the app. If you're unlucky the ads crash it.
Why am I being punished for paying for your app?

I have always been a big fan of cracked. I bought this app two years ago, and this recent update is pushing me to delete it. I can't even get through an entire paragraph before I'm kicked off and sent to the App Store. I don't want to be bullied in to downloading candy crush while reading my article. Fix this crap, or you're going to lose out on a lot of loyal fans.
Great website, terrible app

The articles from Cracked are excellent, and I strongly recommend them. However, I cannot recommend this app as a means to read them. Periodically this app will either close out to go to the App Store or pop up with full screen ads. This would be fine if there were a paid version of the app, and this were a lite version. Sadly, I bought this years ago as the paid version, on the assumption that the money would get me an improved app and no ads. Ironically, this version has less features than the old, and more annoying ads. Finally, it cannot load gifs in photoplasty's, which makes several completely unreadable. Don't get this app if you have other means of reading Cracked. EDIT: Still awful, and the ads have gotten worse. Just recently I had the all redirect me to the App Store ten times in a row before I just gave up.
Thoroughly frustrated

It is getting very old to have to close out of pop up ads numerous times just to read a single sentence. I paid for this app, usually that indicates an ad free experience- not the exact opposite. It is ridiculous. I am considering deleting the app and not even accessing cracked on my computer as they so clearly have no value to loyal readers who pay for access to their content.
Amazing Content, Awful Pop Ups
Coachtumn
I love cracked, but I finally uninstall this app. I can't make it more than two sentences in any article before I'm interrupted with the pop up. They happen so frequently that you can't even make it through a single sentence sometimes. I don't know why they changed, but the constant bombarding ads are enough to make me never want to use this app again.
Horrendous.

The pop ups are unrelenting. You cannot get through a single article because you are constantly trying to force the app to actually show content, as opposed to blasting you to the App Store to buy stupid games that aren't even related to anything you are looking at
I've about had it with this app

A paid app that forces ads on me every few seconds. I'm done with it.
