I wouldn’t mind the inundation of ads if the app worked anywhere near what they claim. It somehow drains the battery and taxes the processor more than any other app yet it’s just pictures. Then it just randomly freezes while scrolling, or refuses to load the images, which is all that the app is supposed to do. So the only thing it’s supposedly designed to do, showing images, it fails at. And don’t even think of trying to open the app unless you have the fastest connection possible. Besides that, the content is good.

It’s super annoying that my music stops playing whenever I open the app... AND Most of the time even if I have the app open in the background it will “reopen” and I’ll lose my spot when I was scrolling the feed.
go low!
Ever since the membership ads started the app has slowed way down or freezes more often. Been a long time user but it’s been almost intolerable lately. Coincidence? 6 months ago I would’ve given 6 stars if possible.

I’ve been on the chive for year and I’ve had the app for over 3 years now, but it’s still this app is very rough around the edges. Ads on ever video, and half the time the add is so messed up it’ll crash the whole app. I see the same content every week too. Mix it up man! You can’t just change the title and mix up the picture order and call it new... I’m still a big fan of the Chive, but I might just delete the app and just start using the internet browsers. We’ll see I guess.

This app is amazing if you love looking at ads. If you want to watch a video, be prepared for and ad!! Ad ad ad ad ad ad ad that’s all it is. The ads load faster than the actual content does. Ads

You can’t look at a gallery because it is constantly loading some b.s. ad. Don’t waste your time with the chive at all.

The content is great but the app is well awful. It needs a major overhaul and the ads on the site are relentless.

Asks me to buy a BFM coin most of the time. Shamelessly promotes nudity. What happened to puppies make me happy?

Great app at first, but they’ve been slowly increasing the pop up adds as they became more popular. Now it’s to the point where almost every article you open has multiple adds. And they gave Facebook a hard time for selling out....

I love the chive, I have followed it for years. But the app is slow and unresponsive sometimes. It kills my battery and caused my phone to overheat. Issues started when the ads started and they have just been growing ever since then. I would pay for an app that was better built and didn’t kill my phone.
