Review summary

User reviews consistently praise the quizzes as fun and enjoy access to entertainment articles, including nostalgic quiz experiences. However, the app is repeatedly criticized for stability issues (crashes and freezes) and an intrusive ad load that disrupts browsing and play. Several reviewers call out perceived political bias and one-sided reporting, while others question content accuracy and note AI-generated content. Overall, BuzzFeed offers quiz/reading appeal but is hampered by performance, ads, and trust concerns.

Access to a wide range of entertaining articles.
Nostalgic and memory-themed quiz experiences.

Perceived political bias and one-sided content.

2026-08-17	Sa*****	The new ads are god awful. You can't read a single thing without enduring long ads. After over a decade of enjoying Buzzfeed content and through some not insignificant changes, I'm deleting the app and moving on. Occasional ads are one thing, but Buzzfeed threw up heavily saturated ad content out of nowhere.

2026-08-16	An*****	these ads are becoming obnoxious and making the app unusable! ads when im scrolling that are placed for accidentally clicking, now im on some random website. big giant annoying ads now as soon as you click into an article. i wish we could rate apps 0 stars! not to mention the app constantly crashing. it's just BAD. deleting account and uninstalling.

2026-08-09	Sa*****	Maybe if they didn't have so many meaningless quizzes and a million shopping guides then the app wouldn't crash every few minutes. Oh but don't worry the ads will always load when the page freezes...

2026-08-04	Er*****	It doesn't matter how amazing my connection is, less than 20% of the photos and gifs will load. This seems like a ridiculous bug to have at this point in app development. It's incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Guess I'll delete the app again.
