Users consistently praise ProPublica for strong investigative reporting and credibility. The app is generally smooth, fast to load, and easy to read, with few bugs reported. A frequent complaint is the lack of a dark mode, echoed across several reviews. Many reviewers value its independent journalism and the trust it inspires, while some notes about features (e.g., donations) are mixed.

Pros

High-quality investigative journalism and reporting
Smooth app performance with fast loading and easy-to-read layouts
Independent, credible journalism that holds power to account

Cons

Missing dark mode / theme option; multiple reviews request a dark theme

Recent reviews

I dearly love and support ProPublica and its journalism, but the app is essentially useless as it won't load any of the stories! Instead, it opens them in my mobile browser, which rather defeats the app's purpose. I hope this can be fixed, but until then I might as well uninstall this app and read my ProPublica elsewhere.

the latest update makes it so you cant read articles in the app anymore, they just link to their website, defeating the purpose of having an app in the first place. fantastic journalism though.
