User Reviews

Hey! on Fark.com is praised for a clean, mobile-friendly interface and a strong notification system that keeps you updated on headlines and replies. Reviewers note that content is well-organized and easy to navigate on the go, with useful filters and watch updates. The main drawbacks are an ad-heavy experience, featuring intrusive popups and full-screen videos, and some device-related usability gaps (especially on iPad). Overall, it’s valued for access and updates but hampered by advertising clutter.

Internet chats used to be a fun place but not anymore. Mods quickly delete opinions they don’t agree with and ban you for not being a part of their echo chamber.

App used to be useable. The amount of pop ups and annoying advertisements make this app unusable. Open up a browser window with the full ( Not mobile) site and your experience will be a factor of ten to a hundred times better. I tried to give no stars after using this app for years. This app now deserves zero stars. Can’t rate it without at least 1 star.
