Engadget: Technology, Features App Reviews

213 add

Great app, I read use it everyday.

Great. I use it every morning. I deleted CNET for this.

Good place to start

App is a good place to get an overview of advances in technology.

Bad

Considering that this is a tech blog they have a terrible app to go with a nice website. The UI is boring and unintuitive. Even the logo presentation is boring. Nothing tech savvy about this app at all except that all the buttons work.

Garbage

Tech news with a bunch of political BS thrown in. IGN App is better and doesnt feed you their political bias in with the news.

Trash App

This app - for a company focused on tech - looks to be designed in 2005. On top of the outdated look, (ignoring that text on the plus sized iphones is scaled, large and blurry) the app doesnt work. Pictures dont appear where they would in an article, charts cannot be read at all, as when you try to scroll to the side of a chart to see more of it, the article is changed. Poorly designed, poorly executed.

A techys world

Ive been using Engadget through web for several years and now the iOS app for a while too and its great for a tech person like me. Simple and elegant platform which is easy to shuffle through and read articles.

So bad after Verizon buyout

Requests location now. Why does a tech blog need my location? Instant delete. Obtrusive ads Pop up ads for every article now. App is barely usable any more. In-line ads that appear to be articles is very misleading Removed ability to leave comments on iOS. Ive sent feedback about these issues which have gone ignored.

NEEDS swipe to go back.

Look, this app is great. The writers are great. Dana does an EXCELLENT job reviewing laptops. The content is fantastic. But it doesnt have swipe to go back, which is killer. Please fix, and this would be a 5 star review.

iPhone 6/6+ screen support

As a tech blog site you guys should be ahead of the curve, not behind it. There are so many ways to improve the UI for use with iOS 8/9/10 How come the 5 & 5.5" screens have been out for 2 years now, and you still havent adopted a screen resolution for them??

Ruined by continual pop up ads

Font size doesnt adjust in iOS 10

Still no plus model support

How does this app not support the plus model resolution? Its been years. Apple should remove all apps that dont support the plus models resolution.

Used to be great...

1. The latest update completely broke this app making it completely useless. The reviews arent read, and the developers never take feedback from people. 2. Connecting to Facebook has never worked in this app, and if it did, Im sure it wouldnt sync articles that have been read between devices. 3. Ads are becoming more intrusive, as they fill the screen without being clicked. Almost as if the developers get paid for clicks, and are tricking the system into thinking an ad was clicked! 4. There needs to be an option to disable ads, even if its just $.99. 5. Comments are gone, and it doesnt seem theyre ever coming back. 6. Even though it says its downloading articles, you still have to be connected to the Internet, because its not really downloading the articles. 7. Font size is now broken with the latest update. Every update seems to break something now.

iPhone 6 screen support?

Its been more than two years since iPhone 6 came out with a larger screen size.. Is it too hard to update the app?

Like it but

Read it every day and like it very much but font size slider does not work on iPad mini.

Is It You Or iOS 10 ???

What happened to the feature that allowed you to adjust the size of the text? I cannot read the articles as they are featured, so I had the setting adjusted to perfect size/format, but now everything has reverted back to the original size and cannot be adjusted even though the "slider" is there...

No iPhone Plus screen support?!?!

how long has the iPhone plus been out? 3 years? And you guys cant update your stupid app the use the bigger screen yet? Fail

Horrible Mobile UI

How much I loved its web interface, that much I HATE its mobile user interface. Its slow, boring and takes ages to load articles. The font looks much embossed and bold and not that readable. The way for readers to interact by means of comments and all is no more there

Need better GUI and Designers

The information provided is as expected mirroring from their own website but the graphic design/art looks bad, they need to hire better artists and the app looks like it is zoomed and not for the native iPhone 4.7 & 5.5 resolution. How can you guys review the design of other things when your design looks ugly.

Stick to just Tech News

I am a Tech Junkie and used to love reading all Tech news, specially now its a great get away from all the Political junk thats happening now. But lately they have been sticking in political news that have no to very little relationship to tech news. To top that each one is not a news article but a very bias opinion. If I wanted to read bias political news I would read news from CNN or Fox. I just want to read Tech news and now I need to look for another source for just Tech.

Font size not working

As reported by others, this version breaks the font size option. I have really bad vision and the system level font settings have no effect in this app. On top of this, the in-app font size slider does nothing. Please fix this as it makes the app almost useless to anyone in my same situation.
