User Reviews

User feedback centers on intrusive advertising that disrupts reading—auto-playing videos, top banners, and audio hijacking. This ad-heavy design, along with readability/layout issues and frequent performance problems, makes the app feel unusable for many. Several reviews accuse The Hill of editorial bias, and some users have left for alternatives. A few users note that support or patches addressed issues, but overall sentiment is negative, with most calling for a return to a cleaner, faster reading experience.
Pros
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and top-of-article video overlays make articles unreadable.
  • Autoplay videos and audio hijacking disrupt listening and reading.
  • Readability suffers from huge fonts, ad density, and inconsistent orientation (landscape/portrait).
  • App stability issues: freezing, crashes, or failing to load after updates.
  • Perceived political bias in coverage.

Every article is randomly filled with the symbols &nbsp making it impossible to read.

The ads in this app are completely out of control. I can never really get to the news story because the screen scrolls with videos and pop-ups that are some of the most annoying I’ve ever encountered. Why does every news story have to have a video attached to the top of it, most of which don’t even relate to the story? I appreciate the attempt at being unbiased, but if it means paying for a subscription to get these ads out-of-the-way, and if there is some possible way for you to remove the videos on top of every news article, I might use it more. Until then. the app stinks.

Another quality news outlet purchase by billionaires.
