New design is terrible. Great content but i hate the new design - some article didn’t even appear correctly. Priority is obviously given to SO MANY ads. A big step backward; wish I could reinstall the old version. Have switched to reading it in a browser: much better!

Easy to Use, Informative. I don’t normally rate apps, but as someone learning about and focusing on current federal events, I find The Hill app to be a reliable news source, lacking in bias, while boasting an excellent interface and relatively unbiased writing. It’s really something when a news source can not only get you articles quickly, but also provide a thorough argument and all of the facts. Great job!

Lots of ads now. This used to be a pretty good middle of the road news web site. And that part is still true. It’s news is middle of the road and interesting. But those moving game ads at bottom the screen distract from their web site. And the ads are almost exclusively about playing games.

Awesome News Source. I love how The Hill provides non bias information about political based news.

glitchy. I enjoy reading the hill, but recently it has become extremely glitchy, closing when I’m trying to read articles. I deleted it and reinstalled it, but the glitching remains. I’ve turned to reading other news apps until this is fixed.

Biased Reporting. While the app works fine, it’s the choice of reporting I have issues with. I thought based on the description of what they focus on I would get more unbiased accurate news. Instead I get a list of articles focused on making the Democratic Party look noble/good and the Republican Party look like a bunch of kids throwing a tantrum. News reporting is supposed to be just giving facts and letting the readers make up their own opinion.

Needs notifications. Needs breaking news and story notifications like every other news app

New update lousy. New update is more clunky and not as smooth. When looking at articles you have to constantly click the “more” option and the authors of each article are not listed. The authors should be listed especially in the opinion section. Needs work to make the app more smooth and easy to use.

Not impressed. First, can't add the app to a folder container with other news apps. Second, seems to never be able to finish loading news items. And when it does, it seems to eat up the cpu and battery.

Bias. The hill I thought was supposed to be different from other news networks and just report the facts. It’s very clear the direction the company leans. Time after time they take a side and you can see it in their reporting. They are not reporting the news they are reporting a narrative. Being disappointed I came here to write a review and what does the thumb nail picture have, a article portraying republican in a negative light. If you want a echo chamber for liberal Democrat talking points this is the site for you. But if you want fair, just the facts news I would suggest echo times. Do better The Hill!!

Thank you. Great app. Breaking news notifications would be a plus so looking forward to that. Keep up the good work

TOO Many adds. It has decent news but is completely over polluted by google adds which are more annoying than the content is worth reading

Auto play videos .... They’re extremely annoying. I’ll try to pause them and instead get kicked back to a blank article page. Not a bad app and coverage of the Hill but the videos have got to stop!

The Hill is good but the app is the worst. I just really want to listen to Rising on my commute but it freezes or crashes so often I can never get to the end or even a segment or two in. I don’t care if you put in a bunch of commercials on, I just want to put the show on and listen straight thru. It would also be nice if I could do other things on my phone while I listening. You could have a great app because of content, but the tech part distracts. I don’t bother so much trying any more.

Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball. If I inadvertently touch the article while I’m reading it, it crashes. If I scroll too quickly it crashes. If my finger lingers too long when scrolling it crashes. I hear the great Phil Hartman’s voice in my head every time I open the app. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. Do not look directly at Happy Fun Ball. Do not touch Happy Fun Ball.

Recently added obnoxious ads. I’ve been using this app for years and like the content but recently there have been obnoxious ads especially along the bottom. Like spinning slot machines and otherwise distracting garbage. I get an app like this has to pay the bills but it shouldn’t be at the cost of user attention. I’ll come back when this is fixed. I’m looking for somewhere else to get similar content for now.

Great News Organization. The Hill as a news outlet is, most of the time, awesome. So much less biased than other options out there and a lot of fact based reporting which is what we all really need. The app itself isn’t the best out there. Don’t let that stop you from getting your news from the Hill. I don’t have as many issues with the app as others have but I do wish it had notifications.

Fine, but March 2022 update is a step back. The app has always been somewhat buggy, would crash somewhat often, but it was what it was - a good collection of news articles. The new update takes a step back and does away with chronological article sorting like the old version. Where before I would check the app throughout the day to see new articles, now I find myself going on it and staying on far less because I can’t go down a list of articles and get caught up to where I was. Not sure if the update improves on crashing. The new design is fine, not that I really care about that one way or the other on a news app. Overall, meh.

Deleted because of video ads. The Hill’s new app tries to force me to watch a video ad before I can read a story. Forget it. The previous app didn’t do that, and although I used to read the Hill somewhat regularly, I don’t want to read it badly enough to put up with that annoyance.

Great option for unbiased reporting. Some functionality issues, but a great alternative to the two extremes reporting biased news.

Constant crashes. Good news and content, but the app regularly crashes, ads cover text, and at times portions of the article are cut off by the suggested articles on the bottom, making the app difficult and incredibly frustrating to use.

Reliable content. No notifications.. The content is exactly what I’ve come to expect from the Hill, but the lack of notifications makes it hard to stay up-to-date on the information I need. It would be my primary news source if it weren’t for this issue.

Crashes on a regular basis. This app is very temperamental. For some stories it is fine and then most of the time it will crash after opening up an article. If you reopen the article, odds are it will crash again so you should just give up on trying to read that item.

Constantly crashes. I like the reporting but the app articles are very often unreadable on my iPhone (iOS 14), in the middle of reading and scrolling through an article the app crashes and closes. I can’t help but wonder if the cause is the competition from ads, especially videos. Maybe there’s a paid version that would eliminate the insidious advertising so heavy and prevalent in this otherwise worthy news ap.

Prefer the Old Design. The old design was easier on the eyes. Also, it always listed articles chronologically. I searched for a writer than I enjoy reading to see recent articles, and the list was articles 4-7 years old. The old version listed the newest articles on top. The dark screen and smaller front isn’t as visually appealing. Not a good redesign.

Irritating. The app contains relevant and well written articles which are, unfortunately, nearly impossible to read due to jumping ads and pop ups. It would be well worth the investment of the price of an ad free option but that is not available.

App won’t load. App says my device isn’t connected to internet, but that’s not true. It works fine on all other apps and works for me to post this. I couldn’t even load app support. Stop blaming others for your app problems.

Not a moderate source of news. I downloaded this app to see news stories by supposedly neutral viewpoints. Not so much. The liberal slant shows through every bit of it. Stick with Fox News. It’s still more accurate and you don’t have to cringe reading the news.

Used to be my favorite. Used to love this app, but as time has gone by, I have begun to notice the quality of reporting starting to degrade. Clickbait article summaries are starting to appear. While I can say that the bias is equally applied, I think that some of the reporting is lacking depth (the recent UFO articles seem to be one source with no counter explanation ).

App is Working Now. This app had some brief (now solved) problems. I wrote to the developers, and they quickly patched the problem. Works very well. I’m impressed with the response from the tech group.

Lies after lies after lies!!. Glad to see the side your on. Makes is so much easier to cancel your obviously radical left platform. Hope your happy with what your doing to free thought in the country. When more and more physical confrontations occur in the time to come. We know who to blame and cancel. You!!! Later to your race bating identity drivin politics.

Worse and worse. The biggest issues I have with the app are 1) it constantly pauses my music to autoplay videos/apps in the app and there is no way to disable this and it’s making rethink using this app at all and 2) articles crash in the middle of reading them so you have to reopen the app and find the article and scroll to the spot you left off at. These problems have only gotten worse over time.

Print too small. The text size within articles is far too small. There’s no ability to increase the size. This would be a great addition for an upgrade.

Ads make this unbearable. I’m okay if the ads weren’t intrusive, or obnoxious. However, the ads they have here are awful. The banner ads are distracting, and the ads implemented between articles are a mess visually.

Go elsewhere. Great content but the software used to present it needs to be upgraded. The best way I can explain, it seems like an app that isn’t mobile friendly. Yeah, that almost doesn’t make sense. *New Post* In addition, after further use; they’re very click baitey. Gotta get those clicks up for their advertisers. They use unfair ways to get you to click and open ads. I would advise staying away from this application completely.

New Update Not Good. This used to be my go-to app for news. Both the content and the user interface were fantastic! The March 2022 completely changed the look and feel. Most of the articles seem to be videos, which I don’t particularly care for, and even worse, often I can’t back out of a video without quitting the app and bringing it back up. I have no idea if the content is still good because it works so terribly I haven’t been using it much anymore. What happened to good informative articles that you could click on and READ?

Drowning in ads. This app has become unusable. Ads take up a large amount t of screen real estate. The layout is blocky and the presentation of content is a regression relative to the previous version. I would happily pay a subscription fee but not for this user experience. Uninstalling.

Great news, distracting ads. I like the reporting and the writing, and the centrist balance. Everything about it is great except for constant interruptions from distracting ads, many of them pop-ups. I would gladly pay a reasonable subscription fee for an ad-free version, but can’t find that option. If it’s available, please let me know!

Deleted the app. I really have enjoyed the news from The Hill. My problem is that it’s difficult to scroll through the articles. Every ad that passed would end up opening. It just became annoying. I’ll just read it a little less on the website.

Hate the auto play. The news is great and less biased than most media sources. But it’s beyond annoying that the Hill now autoplays it’s own videos. It’s made worse by the boring voiceovers done by the reporters. Please stop auto playing videos!

Works great, but needs notifications!. I like the app. A lot of the issues other reviews complain about have been fixed. The reporting is good, with (roughly) an equal amount of bias in either side. A BIG issue, though, is that it does not have breaking news notifications. This is a major downside. If it weren’t for this issue, this app would be one of my primary news sources. Honestly, it’s kind of worthless to me without breaking news updates. I strongly encourage the all developers: add notifications!!

Hard to read. New layout has gotten rid of some useless categories. But is extremely hard to navigate and read. The old app was much easier on the eyes. Scrolling right was much easier to go through categories making the print much easier to read.

iPhone X needs update. I have an iPhone X. For whatever reason if you hold the phone in landscape mode and try and open a story none of the text for the story shows up. You have to open the story in portrait mode and then turn the phone and then you can read the story in landscape mode. Next, in landscape mode with the phone notch on the left, the text is sometimes cut off by the notch. I do love reading the hill. A lot of great reporting. Just annoyed that the app doesn’t work better.

The Hill - revert back to your old version. The old version was easy to navigate, easy to get information and easy on the eyes. New version….awful. If you can’t revert back, I will have to delete this app and find another source of information.

Don’t Is Too Small. I use reading glasses but my eyes are not bad enough to need a prescription. Most apps I can read without my readers but this app pretty much mandates that I use them. Other news apps will allow me to zoom in on the words where The Hill won’t. The font is already very small and not allowing a person to physically zoom the font in any way turns me off completely. It can’t be that difficult to permit some type of zoom to allow us to make the font bigger. I had to give this app 2 stars because it’s so inconvenient to actually use. Very unfortunate that the developers won’t make an accommodation. I’ve asked before but they seem to just not care.

Glitchy App. This app use to be a simple, easy to read place to get your fix for political junkies. Now it’s simply junk. Glitchy, buggy and not that easy to find an article you want to read. I stopped using it.

Used to be my go to news app. Unfortunately, this new version of the app is very clunky and filled with ads. Most importantly though, I’m unable to scroll through a list of articles and have to navigate back to the Home Screen. Sad

Horrible Update - Stop the Videos. I was addicted to the Hill app prior to the April 2022 update. The forced videos, when I want to just read the article is driving me insane and keeping me off the app. If they don’t fix this quickly, I’m going to remove it from my iPad and iPhone.

New app is horrible. Wow, just upgraded to new app and I won’t be using it. I want to read the news not watch videos, especially with commercials in the videos. Beside that the new layout is all white space and the organization is worthless. Stories from months ago are everywhere. Looks like I’ll have to search for a different news app.

2022 Update unusable. This was my go-to app for news every morning until the update earlier this year. In addition to being even more glitchy, the new aesthetic is gaudy and unprofessional. I feel like I’m reading some dime store tabloid. I uninstalled the app.

App keeps crashing. App keeps crashing

Bummer. I’ll just read the webpage instead.

The slot / Trivia Crack ads ruining it. Great journalism interrupted by very distracting ads that you accidentally click when trying to scroll down. It’s maddening. Please… stop with these.

Font too small - no 2-finger spread. Difficult to adjust font size

Ads cover content. They can’t keep ads from covering content. Even after marking the ad to make it go away, still the empty box covered the content. Stupid.

Pauses audio. Love the content of the app and it usually works fine but whenever I open it my podcast is paused so now I don’t really use it.

Crashing. This was a great app until a few weeks ago and now it crashes all the time. How about an update?

👍🏻👎🏻no notifications. Good informative app when it’s working. Biggest complaint with me is breaking news and notifications are not working. Please fix!!! Please please please!!!!

Constant crashing. The app crashes every time I open an article, or switch news feed.

New look is major mistake. I read The Hill everyday. It was my favorite news source. The new look introduced today is far more difficult to navigate.

Crashes Often. I installed this app and it crashed. Removed the app, and then reinstalled...it crashed again. Please fix this issue. Until then, I won’t install it on my device. 👎🏼

Worthless. Ads block content so you can’t read the article summaries and cannot be removed by clicking the “x”.

Excellent app. Works as expected on my iPhone XS News content seems fair and balanced.

Bad update. The app scrolling is terrible. The screen refresh rate is terrible flashes and glitches

No stars. When I tap an article to READ! I get an advertisement then a video that has nothing to do with the article I clicked on. Real CRAP app.

App does not support Accessibility Settings. This app no longer works with Accessibility settings. You can not highlight text and have it read aloud.

Ads annoying and intrusive. Ads position themselves right over the articles in the main page so you can’t actually see what’s there. You can’t get rid of or minimize the ads

Crashes constantly. Great news site that is balanced and regularly updated but this app is trash and crashes without rhyme, reason, or warning. I still use it but it's aggravating

Keeps Crashing. I can barely get to an article and start reading before it crashes out.

Great content, but font too small. Just would like to be able to increase font size.

Good reporting, but app crashes often on iPad. Title pretty much says it all. The app is unstable on my iPad, and often crashes.

New version is terrible. The functionality of the new version is awful. There’s no way to filter to a specific policy topic like there was in the older version of the app.

Consistently crashes. I like The Hill, but the app crashes every time I try to read a story. I get like 40 seconds and then I have to relaunch the app to keep going. Must be fixed!

The new app layout is crap.. The previous one was much better laid out, intuitive, and easy to use. Please go back to what was not broken in the first place.

Absolutely horrible update. Update is so bad. Every article now looks like clickbait. They even have a clickbait section second row in. Impossible to navigate to “new” stories or stories by subject. New update renders this outlet tabloid news. Fix it.

New update. This new update is horrible, and I am missing half the news; please do better.

Smaller fonts please. Even the small font setting is now too big. Go back to the size you had before

Fake News. Trump has a rally and no news at all one way or the other! just ignore it and walk away! We see alot of this in the fake news just report Your narrative

False Advertisement. I would rather have both CNN and Fox downloaded on my phone to read both apps instead of this one pretending to be balanced. This app is overloaded with opinion pieces.

Poorly written app for a poorly run “news” org. They aren’t news. They regurgitate articles written by others and promote lies by the president. Their app also closes unexpectedly.

Want news not my opinion of the news. Ugh.. Google ads found here appeal to stupid! Facts matter! Shame on you.

Distracting ads. The placement of advertisements is really annoying...I can promise I would never buy anything promoted in such a way...

Won’t display properly on iPad. I want the content, but often I can’t read past the first paragraph of a story because the rest is cut off.

Closes constantly. I’m so tired of this app closing when I’m in the middle of reading an article.

Great content, but....... No way to increase font size. If your over forty good luck reading the articles.

App keeps crashing. I like the articles but the App keeps crashing. I think the App needs to somehow be updated to better work with current iOS

Update is not good. Deleted the app after the most recent update. Looks like garbage, not as clean/smooth as previous version. Not sure what the update did but I don’t like it.

The Hill. Can’t even open the stupid App,What A waste of time and this is supposed to be the updated App.

News. Your news articles are very very very inaccurate and incredibly biased, as you are only reporting partial statements AND taking them out if context. That is elementary aged crap.

Needs dark mode. Content is good, but dark mode would be great.

The update is poor. Can we have the old version back please?

The update is basically unusable. I used to love how much nicer the experience was using this app vs Politico. The update is big step backwards in terms of aesthetics and usability. It’s also buggy and glitchy.

Confused. Why do I have to watch unrelated videos (besides the ads) when I click on a story? The simplicity of the previous version was one of its attractions.

Ycch!. Used to be very good. Now it is worthless. Try to open it up; but, it keeps closing. Deleting and reinstalling the app is of no help. I have iOS 13.4.1, not 13.5; so it’s not the iOS update.

Not news. This is not news. This a political media company pushing an agenda and not news. Any comparison between what is published here and actual news is incorrect. The publisher and editor should be ashamed and this spreading of propaganda should be illegal.

Crashes all the time. It’s time for an update I’m always being kicked in the middle of reading an article and I hate that. I love your news hate your app! Fix it!

App crashes constantly. Since updating to iOS 14 I can’t read a single article before the app crashes. Happens every day.

Buggy. Great content but keeps crashing

Crashes frequently on iPhone. Love the content but the frequent crashes are annoying.

Keeps crashing on iPhone. It keeps crashing on my iPhone. I have restarted phone — it does not help.
