Good app, great support. Simple app that does what it needs to do. Can't quite give it "great" as there is always room for improvement. Where things are meeting or exceeding expectation is support given the recent twitter changes. Got quick replies and more importantly a proactive email when update was avail. [io6.x and now 6.1-10b144]

I don't want to spin to win. Usually love the app but for the last few days I can't have it open for more than a minute without something popping up from World Cup Promo telling me I've won a chance to spin to win an iPad or Walmart gift card. It looks very shady and virus like. Have you been taken over by Russia or China? Also, I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it immediately did it again. Please remove the virus/malware/spyware from your app.

Terrible App. Links to log in to comments do not work. Reset password email link takes me to a blank page with Twitchy logo. Are you just trying to hook people enough until they give in and buy your VIP service? I’d be happy to, but seems many of your writers have TDS and are too indoctrinated to the “woke” state of mind that you’re losing true Conservatives daily. **Update, I caved and paid for VIP for a year. Still can’t comment as app link to log into comments doesn’t work (iPhone 8). Had to log into Firefox on my iMac to be able to purchase the VIP. Now I feel I wasted my money because I’ve only seen 2-3 VIP posts since paying. Before paying, seemed like every other new post was VIP only. Scam. Malkin should have never sold. Terrible app.

Love love love. I love twitchy! Seriously, if you don't get on twitter for awhile, all you have to do is get on twitchy and it'll tell you what you missed! I'm addicted to twitchy, I check it 3-4 times a day. Plus, twitchy does what the national media is afraid to do.

Be forewarned.... This site leans way to the right. And it's pure informative entertainment. Politics and celebs- all their gaffes are captured and up for mocking. Sometimes there are glitches(posts don't fully load, videos aren't available)...but they usually clear up.

Fix the app. Since the latest update and going to pay for view the app is always frozen and ads cover content constantly. FIX THIS. or it is time to delete

Love the sarcastic content, hate the app functionality. They haven’t updated this app in a year and it it so buggy. Does not embed tweets most of the time. You have to restart the app constantly in hopes it will load correctly. Even then it doesn’t work most times. Cannot play embedded media must go to twitter to see it. Are conservatives incapable of making good technology products.

Not working :-(. When it works, it's great! I prefer it over the website. But for the past several weeks it's been going downhill. First, the ads would pop up and block content. Then the first tweet would quit loading. Now I can't get Comments to load. I've tried deleting and reloading the app with no luck. I'd be happy to pay for an app if these problems would be eliminated for good!

app hasn’t worked in weeks. The app only loads about one or two paragraphs and stops. Haven’t read a complete piece in a long time. I’m about ready to delete the app. Which is too bad as i generally like the content...when i can read it.

I used to enjoy this app.... but between not being able to render the width correctly and placing lots of big new ads over the content, Salem has made this sufficiently unpleasant to use that I will be deleting it. I'll check back in a few months to see if they've started caring about user experience and changed their business model. Until then, no thanks.

Making Fun of Politics. I love Twitchy. They do a good job of pointing out the folly of U.S. politics, and their articles are a quick read and fun!

Having Same Error Issues. Normally this app deserves the 5 stars, but for several days the only thing I get is the list on the opening page. When I click on what I want to look at, nothing will show up. Please, please fix this!!!

Low Rent clown shoes. I’ve had Twitchy on my phone since Michelle Malkin started the site. Once she sold the site, the quality of function and content leaves much to be desired. Latest app update was over a year ago, and with the addition of a paywall, you now have to pay for access to comments. Yet those commenting don’t receive payment for their content. Absolute disaster of an app. Having checked again, Sarah D posted a supposed NYT op-ed dated 21 January 2025. Charlie Foxtrot.

Nice App. Great way to see if you missed any stories on Twitter. Being able to retweet the comments is worth 5 stars by itself! Should be able to make comments using twitter ids instead of or in addition to Disquis

Works great! Awesome site!. Not sure what app the others are using if at all but I see every post, can comment and all videos a pics are perfect. Love being able to access on twitchy on my iPhone and on the go. If I know Twitchy, I would bet this app gets more functionality as it matures. Awesome app for an awesome website.

Limited ability to share content. I started using this app way back when Michelle Malkin first developed it. It was better back then. Now I use it because I’m intentionally not on Twitter but I like to see what hypocrisy and garbage the media puts forth each day. They’ve tried to carry on but it’s changed a bit - they tend to cull the same twitter users’ content over and over. They’re good teeeters to cite but it gets old. I’m really tired of them featuring Alyssa Milano and other minor celebrities’ political opinions to make fun of them. How about just ignoring them? They do a good job compiling stories but I wish Sam J (editor) didn’t feel the need to insert her own voice in her introductions so often. It’s changed the perspective and seems less professional and more like you’re reading someone’s blog. Sometimes there are spelling errors and sloppy writing, repeated bad jokes ...That said, it’s still a resource I use and check daily! There’s not another app like it. When I do read a particularly good thread and want to share it with friends I can only share to Twitter or Facebook. It would be nice if we could copy a link for sharing via text, messenger or IG. I know they’re trying to monetize it by putting bigger articles behind a paywall and that doesn’t really bother me. Nothing good can be free.

Immature app. Needs to default to the URL keyboard layout when asking for an email address etc. Cannot log in to disqus. Cannot comment on articles. Curiously, homed within the 63red app, the login to disqus works.

Ads!!!!. Been reading Twitchy for years, but latest update has ads completely obscuring tweets! There are some posts I’ve looked at recently that show nothing but the snarky comments of the editors and no way to see the tweets that the comments are referring to. This is taxation without representation!

Goodbye to Twitchy. Sadly I’ve deleted this app for good after having enjoyed it for years. For past year it has been getting worse and worse: The videos don’t play, the articles don’t fully load, the screens freeze, and there’s no way to fix it. Rebooting phone doesn’t always work not does deleting and re-downloading app. Now they want us to pay for VIP content when they haven’t bothered to update to fix bugs, etc. on the normal platform in two years!! Not cool. I’m sure they don’t read these reviews or if they do, don’t care about a few folks who leave which also makes me sad. It was fun while it lasted.

Can’t access Disgus comments from app. I like Twitchy but I can no longer use the comments from Disgus. It won’t even let me sign in. I have to go to the website from Safari. Very annoying. Please get it fixed. It used to work. I’m on Twitchy less and less because of that. Not smart to not get that fixed. Doesn’t work on my iPad or iPhone.

Almost perfect. App works great, small and fast. For those that do not know, (on your iOS device not inside twitchy) go to settings> Twitchy > Display mode. And you can change to light or dark modes. (I saw a review below that complained about the text color) Only complaint... Universal app! Sure I can use the website on my iPad.. But I'd rather have the app full screen. Never understood why developers make a great free app like this, and just expect everyone with an iPad to just use the website and lose the functions of the app, or just 2X the app. Universal and the app is perfect.

Poor quality app, certainly not worth VIP. This Twitchy iPhone app was such a step down from the removed iPad app. Nothing formats properly, the images don’t load half of the time, the video has never worked. Now, a large number of entries are paywalled. You guys need to hire someone who knows how to program an async/multithreaded app that actually works well (especially if you hope to collect money with it).

Great source of information, highly recommended!. Twitchy is one of the few sources I rely on for news. They stay up to date with current events using the twitter feeds of prominent figures. I highly recommend!

Great site, bad app. When you load a story, it often loads tweets & other sources. But it takes sooo long to load them. You start reading and it hangs on the bottom of page or on tweet. You have to wait 30 seconds or longer too be able to scroll down. Then you get another “page” and then it hangs again. Needs to cache the text of the tweets so it doesn’t have to wait to load them from Twitter

Unusable because of ads. Obnoxious and hard to get around. Removing from my phone

App is terrible and now they want you to buy a VIP membership!. App is terrible, takes forever to load content and it sometimes doesn’t load completely, ads appear on top of text, can play twitter video or pics, have to toggle to twitter to see, and now none of them load properly. On top of all this, now they want you to buy a VIP membership to access previously free after supported content. Yeahhhhhhh, no...

Simple and intuitive, love it!. This is by far one of my favorite, most-used apps. I love its usability and slick look. The only thing I'd like to see added is some support/integration with the Twitter app. Mainly, it would be great if tapping Twitter handles in Twitchy articles would open the profile in the Twitter app rather than in Safari.

No more push notifications!. Used to love this app and checked it a few times every day. The ads were an annoying addition, but I could live with those. But I am sick and tired of getting push notifications all day long that I cannot turn off. Just deleted this app and won't reinstall it until notifications can be turned off.

Not getting better. Annoying ads, scrolling problems on iPhone, peekaboo ads in the middle of the articles and google ads covering the bottom of the page, then pay to play because the ads are losing not gaining business, and now articles which crash, burn, reload and crash again, finally leaving a blank screen. This was a 5* app for me, but much less useful now. It’s not worth paying for such poor application development. I’m going to bet you have more users deleting the app than paying to remove only some of the aggravation. Jan 30th 2020 Aggravation continues. Articles open, crash, burn, rinse, repeat. Never opening long enough to start scrolling. Awful.

Needs work!. First review I have ever written. I love twitchy! Before the pay wall, I would scroll through several times a day on my iPhone X. As soon as the pay wall began, there was a lot of difficulty scrolling in portrait mode when you open the articles. It just doesn’t work, requiring you then to turn on the phone and read the article in landscape mode. Then I turn the phone back to portrait mode to look at the main page, and back to landscape mode to read the article. In the article, that’s the only way to move the ads. Additionally when the pay wall started they removed anyway to contact Twitchy for help. I keep coming back hoping they’ll fix it because I really like the website, but they just don’t. It’s so very disappointing. If I had a way to contact twitchy directly to ask for help I would, but all I have is this Review, so take my one star, even though you haven’t earned it. I almost wish I never started reading them at all.

Very disappointing. I cannot believe that the team that publishes twitchy needs to charge 50$ a year for their content. Some charge I could understand, but from $0 to $50? Give me a break. And in the ensuing year I have tried innumerable times to sign up for their $50 content and the link never opens. I have to lower the star rating

Done with this. Love to read this site but the app is horrible. I have sent multiple support tickets and not only have none been addressed, I was never contacted to acknowledge or ask for more information even though I offered to walk them through it. First comments no longer work. Then it would not connect while iPhone is on wifi but worked with LTE (don't ask me but that's the behavior). Now it won't connect at all.

Love it! When it works. Update #2: When is someone going to fix this app? Now the only decent latency is for Ads. So the Ads appear immediately but it takes forever to load the content. I really enjoy the content but I will end up deleting this from my iPhone 6 if someone doesn't address the problems. Update #1: since acquisition this app is broken on iPhone. :-( See other comments regarding tweets being missing. Basically some threads are missing all the tweets and show only the comments. It requires a fix soon. Some of the most interesting threads are missing all of the actual tweets. That is so frustrating! Lately long download delays. iPhone 6 and iPhone 4s. Please fix because I love this app.

Love Twitchy!. Yes it is a bummer that the tweets stopped showing but they are working on the bug...hope they fix it soon. The Twitchy folks are hilarious and right on the pulse of what's going on in the Twitterverse. I recommend this app!

Love this app...but!. Guys, you have got to fix the bugs! The ads are covering content and I've had to uninstall and reinstall the app twice now. But this app is so good I will not let go of it! Please, please fix the bugs! ASAP!

Bug fix. Content is good, bug the app regularly does not show tweets on some posts. Doesn't seem to be on a predictable basis, just more now than before. I am operating IOS 6.1

Discuss login. Can’t login to Discus on iPhone X using app. Login ok using website but doesn’t transfer to app.

Ugh. Same as many, ugly and unresponsive ad riddled. What happened? This used to be much better.

Has trouble updating. This started happening right around the recent iOS update. The app seems to have trouble loading updated posts. When I open it, sometimes it will simply time out. Love twitchy but the bugs need to be fixed!

Sad. Used to be a great app. Now you can’t get past the first two lines without being hit with an ad. Can’t move past the ad at all. No idea how to access the actual content. Suspect this is their way of getting folks to fork out $50 to access whatever’s behind the paywall. Not worth it. UPDATE: I use the app on my phone. I discovered if I scroll on the *very* right or *very* left of the screen I can get past the add content without having to wait 30 seconds for content to load. This only works if you don’t scroll within ad space (need to place your finger either above or below it on the very right or left of the screen). Still can’t get embedded videos to play, and I still won’t fork over $50 to read VIP posts, but at least I can get all the way through a post. I added a star for this. 🙄 I still hope Twitchy fixes its app - it used to be so much better. I hate for folks to miss out on the content.

Won’t Pay Until Fixed. UPDATE: After reading the update on the review titled Sad, I tried his solution and it worked. If I scroll on the very edge of my iPhone screen, I can scroll down through and see all the content. I’m so glad, because Twitchy finds a lot of interesting content on Twitter. I’m upgrading from 1 to 4 stars, still a bit clunky, but the content is great. For several days, I’ve been unable to scroll past the editors’ opening comments about the tweet. Maybe Twitchy expects this will make me want to subscribe to their paid content to see all the content. But I’m not subscribing to a platform that doesn’t work. Also, please fix so that we can click on videos in the Twitchy app without having to open in Twitter.

Good when it works. Fairly nice-looking app with simple interface. A lot of the time when you tap on a headline and go to the article, the tweets just don't load. And after it happens once, it seems like the article is cached so each time you check back the tweets still don't load. Twitter aggregators need to either load tweets the first time or allow a refresh if there are problems the first time.

Wish it worked better. I enjoy the content and the humor of the editors but the app itself is not good. Many times posts will not fully load. Now, a pop up advert has made it impossible to use at all. I wish the app worked better so I could continue to enjoy it.

Works great when it's allowed to. Does what it's supposed to, aggregates tweets of interest to more conservative people. When it doesn't work, it's because Twitter has made a change or two and the Apple App people seem to take forever to approve updates. To comment on any article, a Disqus account is needed (free). I rarely give 5 stars, but I see the people involved in this sweating blood at times to provide both content and a working app, so kudos to the crew.

Unusable due to pop up ads. Better be able to scroll through an article I under 20 seconds before the no-choice-but-to-click ad takes over the app. Deleted it after years of glitches, videos and embedded links not working. Great content, app is garbage.

Good first release, but some problems. Too many push notifications that new content is available. In fact, notifications that new content is available are really not necessary. Also, the color scheme, particularly for the top banner, needs a lot of work -- looks like a 1980s cop movie. The Facebook sharing feature does not work -- it just opens up the Facebook app and tells me that in logging into the Twitchy FB app, but it never posts the story. That said it does a good job of presenting the site content in an efficient manner -- and of course I love Twitchy itself.

Nose dive in quality. Sorry, guys, I love the conservative tweets and news, and I gladly would've kicked in some App Store cash for it. But the ads are too much of a distraction, and I can't turn off the push notifications. I'll stick with your browser version for now.

I want my twitchy. I love twitchy. But, for some reason my app is no longer loading. When I tap on the app, a bubble says "Error Loading Posts: NSInvalidArgumentException". I have re-loaded the Twitchy app, but to no avail. I am very sad without my Twitchy app.

What happened?. This was my go to site for poking fun at the “woke” crowd. I can go in thru a browser, but the app just keeps saying “unable to load.” Please fix this and I’ll go back to five stars!!!!

Love the content. I love the content & the personalities of the editors, however the latest platform is horrible. I do not like having an ad underneath the conte that you can scroll over. You can visibly see that tweets are cut off & you are missing part of the narrative. Either fix this, or get rid of the whole ad underneath the content idea. It’s irksome.

Awesome - hilarious. Best twitter aggregator ever for those who have both common sense and a great sense of humour! Fantastic commentary.

App needs work.. I live twitchy but this app needs work. A good number of the articles don't load. I've reloaded & rebooted & it doesn't change a thing. And it's been getting progressively worse.

Meh. Getting annoying pop up adds lately. Hard to navigate. Fun to read occasionally but the app has some annoying glitches.

Needs to be fixed, desperately!. I am a frequent user of Twitchy on their site and would love it if the app ever worked. It's pretty obvious the people from the site aren't interested in making the app work & that's disappointing. I'll be deleting the app for a 2nd time.

Bad move with ads. I love the Twitchy team and use to love the app on the iPhone. However, putting all the idiotic ads in without any notification to anyone is beneath you. Either add a (cheap) paid non-ad version or you will see people leave you in droves.

Intuitive way to follow "twitter events". Twitchy makes it easy to keep track of "twitter events" - the interesting stuff percolates to Twitchy

Update. I keep getting comments on my I-7 that you guys need to update your site. I haven’t gotten “comments “ on your site for several years even on my I-4. Do you have plans to update before I lose you totally? Bob Lukas

Latest update. Looks as though this new update was done in haste. Doesn’t work very well. Also no update on IPad app. Please fix.

Mr. T. Great App!!!!! Easy to use, quick news that the mainstream won't cover. Great alternative to the biased @$#% out there!!

Used to work. I used to check the app daily now it doesn't work. Only shows comments and no screen shots of the person they are quoting. Deleting app now.

Fails more than it functions. Twitchy used to be a really dependable app. Now, it often crashes when opening, and comments never, ever load- I get error messages about discus.

Doesn't work anymore. Please fix!

Excellent App.. Loads fast, works great, text/graphics very readable, fantastic!

Good times. Twitter has never been more fun. Period!

Needs update. In big need of update iPhone vs 11.1.2 please update

Used to be great. Was a great app before they went to pay platform. Now when you open the app every page sticks and does not show full story. Been using online version since.

Super glitchy. Love the content, but super glitchy. App freezes, video links don’t always work, loads very slow. TONS OF ADS. I get it, you need to make money, it’s too much. Ad placement is annoying. Please fix.

Quit working. I love the app but yesterday it quit working. NS Invalid Argument Exception it says. I uninstalled then reinstalled but it still won't work. Please fix this, Twitchy!

So sad to say goodbye. This app has been my go to even with all its bugs and issues. I have loaded and reloaded to try and fix to no avail AND now they want to charge me. No thank you.

Needs complete revamp. I had to delete the app. I cannot open to Safari. I cannot post to Facebook. I cannot copy the link. When I post to twitter the link is now gone. I'm done with it.

Tweets don't load. I love Twitchy, but apparently I'm only allowed to view full content on my iPad. The iPhone app has not worked properly for quite awhile, which is frustrating. I wish they would fix it, because I'm ready to delete it from all my devices due to its unreliability.

Used to be good. This used to be great, but something changed. The tweets no longer show, which is kind of pointless. They said they fixed this in an update a week or two ago, but it ain't fixed. Too bad, because it used to be an awesome app.

Quite a lot of fun. Really fun to see 'regular guy' reactions to the hot tweets of the day. Wish there were more categories - but I guess the app is still pretty new. Michelle's comments are great.

Tweets. What happened to actual tweets? Thought problem would have corrected by now. Fix please.

Can't Open the App. When trying to open, it shows message "error loading posts". This has been happening since yesterday (3/8).

Bad App now. I used to love this app. Tweets and video were easily accessed. Now the only thing that shows up is the Twitchy commentary, not the actual tweets. I will just go to the website, even though it doesn't work well in the iPhone. Will be deleting this app.

What happened?!. Where did the actual screen shots of the tweets go? It doesn't make any sense w-out them. Fix this please!! Was my favorite app but I had to delete.

Everything is great except video volume. Can’t get sound on any videos

stuck on headline. well, it’s been a week and I can no longer endure this app. Tap on a story and scrolling stops after reaching the first paragraph below the headline. Goodbye app.

You just lost a looong time fan.. What a shame. In one fell swoop you managed to break the app that delivers the content I love, but now you want me to pay for it. Pay for content your app can’t deliver? Ms Malkin must be ashamed of your malfeasance.

Zero Stars if I could. The ads are the worst. Need to offer a paid, no-ad version that works! Most of the time the app does not load. Think I am going to delete this app. 😟

Stop the Push Notifications!!. I love the Twitchy website, but this most recent version of your app pings me all day long with push notifications that new content is available, and there is no way to turn them off. Huge step backward.

Used to function. now it doesn't. can't get a post to load. can't get a list of posts to load. it's an endless loading cycle with no content available. back to the browser i suppose.

Follow political discourse in the Twitterverse. Nice app to keep up with what's happening in the Twitterverse. Just wish it showed more lines — like 4 (configurable option?) — because the headlining tweet keeps getting cu...

Great place for info.. Lots of great information, still getting used to the whole "twitter" type layout though.

Fast and Furious!!!. Sleek app that works great! Just like everything MM does. Good job.

Updated to useless. Ads cut off content, won’t load, can’t read it. Love Twitchy, useless app. Not paying for a subscription when the app is so useless.

Twitchy twitches. It’s been working fine, but for the last several weeks I can only see the headline in a post I’ve clicked on, and can’t scroll through any articles.

The back arrow. It’s too small or too close to the left edge ... makes it difficult to return to the home screen. Please fix!

Badly Out-Of-Date. Update: This app used to be everything I wrote below. Now it's only periodically functional. Skip it, get an RSS reader and put Twitchy on that. Much less headachy. In general, this is a great app. It translates the web content to a well-displayed simple version. But, and this is a big but, it suffers from a major flaw: the tweets don't always display. Considering Twitchy is a Twitter aggregator, that a pretty serious ball to drop. Overall, this a good app and I recommend it. But keep pestering Twitchy to upgrade it, 'cause it could use a little work.

It's good....when it works. I cannot open Twitchy on my iPad because it needs to be updated. Most days it works. Other days, I don't even bother trying to view it, since it won't open.

Stopped working. Nothing loads...reinstalled and it still doesn't work. UPDATE: Works again...nice site for political twitter activity and news.

Annoying. Don't update! The ads are incredibly annoying in and of themselves, but they also cover the posts half the time.

Needs work. This app crashes a lot and when it does work, it doesn't display properly. Have to keep turning my phone from landscape to portrait to see complete text. Only thing working well are the ads. I now only access the site through my PC.

Pop Up Ads Overload. Can’t read the articles because of pop up advertisements! Not worth the aggravation and will try reading these from Facebook.

What is it with apps these days.... ...when updating makes them perform so poorly. Doesn't anybody test anymore? Get what you pay for I suppose.

Terrible since the buyout. This ap has been horrible since the buyout. 9 out of 10 times it won't load posts. When it does you have to open to update, then close the ap, then open again to view. I'm really disappointed with what had been a nice ap. F minus

Used to work. Tweets haven't shown up in two days. I have uninstalled and loaded it again and they still don't show.

Knowing is half the battle!. A great source of information! It's not the Strong but the Responsive that survive.

What is going on with this app???. First constant add pop ups, now videos don’t play and nothing is loading properly. Please Fix ASAP!!

Used to like this app. Suddenly I'm getting chronic push notifications that I'm unable to disable. Deleted the app as a result. When it's fixed, I'll reinstall.
