User Reviews

Fans praise Barstool's content quality and variety (strong writers, sports coverage, and podcasts) and remain loyal to the brand. However, the iOS app is plagued by crashes, intrusive ads that disrupt reading, and a painful update that worsens navigation and readability. The feed is cluttered with podcasts, making it hard to find actual sports articles. Overall, the content remains appealing, but the app's stability, ad experience, and UI issues frustrate daily use.

Pros

Content quality and variety (strong writers, sports coverage, and podcasts).
Loyal fan base and brand engagement; users remain devoted to the app despite issues.
Standout content segments like pizza reviews are popular with fans.

Cons

Frequent crashes and overall instability of the app.
Intrusive ad delivery that hijacks the reading experience (full-screen ads, page jumps, overlays).
New update/UI makes the app unusable: difficult navigation, poor spacing and font/readability issues, and some features reset on relaunch.
Feed and content discovery are hampered by ad clutter and an overemphasis on podcasts, masking sports content.

Recent reviews

The app crashes every 2 seconds. And most recently it randomly starts playing some music riff across the entire platform. I click into an article and with a few seconds the screen zooms in 10000x and freezes. I’ve tried updated the app and it didn’t fix anything. It’s been like this for as long as I can remember. Please fix your app.

So so awful. I’m actually in shock that one of the largest media companies in the country could have such a terrible app. Horrible interface, extremely glitchy, everything is out of order, and it’s visually terrible with the text size and picture size. I seriously have nothing good to say. And I LOVE barstool and am a die hard fan of a ton of their personalities, content, shows, and podcasts. I sincerely hope they can fix the awful app.

I don’t post reviews too much. I had to for this app. Content is excellent. Big fan of several writers on the platform. However, the ad delivery makes consumption of the content impossible. When an ad is delivered during the reading of an article or the watching of a video, the entire page jumps up or down repeatedly. As a result, I either quit the article, or close the app entirely so I don’t rage throw my device out of the window. For the love of God, fix the damn ad delivery. Please.
