## Review summary

The Rolling Stone app is widely reported as broken or non-functional. The dominant issues are repeated red-screen startups, login problems, and lack of updates for current iOS versions. Users also struggle with intrusive ads, pop-ups, and billing-related support. A minority still value RS content and use the app when it works, but overall feedback calls for urgent maintenance and better user support to restore a reliable reading experience.

### Pros

- Official digital access to Rolling Stone content via the app (core purpose).
- RS content is valued by longtime subscribers and readers who want mobile access.
- When it works, it provides convenient mobile reading of RS content.

### Cons

- Red screen / startup hang: the app freezes on a red screen and will not load, persisting for weeks.
- Login/authentication failures: users cannot log in, even with credentials that work on other platforms.
- Outdated / incompatible: the app has not been updated in a long time and does not work with current iOS/iPadOS.
- Excessive ads and autoplay videos: intrusive ads (even for paying subscribers) disrupt reading.
- Poor support and refund issues: slow or unresponsive support with charging/refund problems.
