User Reviews

Users praise War on the Rocks for authoritative content and expert interviews, with strong member value. However, many users report a frustrating app experience: the iOS app feels like a portal to the website, requires frequent sign-in, loses reading progress, has readability/display and device issues, crashes, and weak search.

Pros

Authoritative, high-quality content and analysis not easily found elsewhere.
Excellent interviews and deep coverage with experienced experts.
Strong value for members with growing podcasts and benefits.
Easy mobile access and convenient podcast-first experience on iPhone.

Cons

Not a standalone app; requires sign-in every time and mostly routes to the website, with tedious navigation.
Reading progress is not preserved – articles don’t stay open when you switch apps or lose focus.
Readability and display issues – small font with no size adjustment, no dark mode, and iPad orientation problems.
Crashes and reliability problems reported after updates.
Hard to search the archive and locate past content.

Love WOTR, but the app needs work. The font is too small and cannot be adjusted. It also is very hard to search the archive.

In these reviews the savvy reader will see that there are the high star reviews which praise the content and the low star reviews that critically analyze the app that is the delivery mechanism for the content. The app still has vast room for improvement despite having had years in which to make the simplest of updates. The best example is that still there is no dark mode, so if you open the app after sunset you will wreck your night vision. This is a small change that could make a big improvement. The tech entrepreneur behind the company needs somebody who will speak truth to power.
