User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise Urban Intellectuals for its rich, educational content on Black history, culture, and current events, and for its mission to empower the Black community. However, users frequently report technical problems: the app can be slow, crash, or feel clunky; ads and pop-ups disrupt reading; and notification clutter annoys users. A few mention missing paid content or broken links, but the dominant theme is that content quality is strong while delivery and user experience need polish. With smoother performance, fewer ads, and clearer notification controls, ratings could rise.

Pros

Rich, informative content about Black history, culture, and current events.
Educational content that empowers the Black community.

Diverse topics including history, culture, and inspirational articles.
Promotes learning and thoughtful discussion within the community.

Cons

Reliability issues: the app crashes, is slow, and feels clunky.
Intrusive ads and pop-ups that obstruct reading.
Notification clutter on the screen and difficulty turning them off.

I’ve held on to this app for awhile. It’s gotten so much better over the years but I’ve noticed content can go stagnant. How can we help to find more contributors or get more content produced?

I paid for 4 volume 5.Where are they??????

I love what they are about and are doing! Education, healthy debate within the community, and inspiring our future by learning from our true past. The 4 instead of 5 is simply because of the app functionality is still a bit clunky... but that comes with time to develop! KEEP IT UP!! And thank you for what you’re doing ❤️✊🏽
