Outdated/antiquated UI design that harms usability.
Alerts/notifications do not work reliably and newsletters may not arrive.

2026-07-22	22*****	Articles that are locked behind a paywall need to be marked so. I keep wasting time trying to read articles, only to find out I have to be a paying member to do so. Worse than clickbait. Also many articles are only a couple sentences long-again stop wasting readers' time.

2026-04-10	Ha*****	Only half news anymore! The other full half is making an article out of something an imbecilic liberal said that is imbecilic. That should be a section of it’s own “stupid communist things out of touch liberals say” just one article a day, don’t make an “article” of each. I’d love more of their other actual news articles.

2026-04-08	Fr*****	app developer needs to fix the side swipe pause issue. I know the Breitbart team are not app developers but there needs to be some quality control tests before an app update is published.

2026-04-02	Ar*****	Why has nothing changed in all the past updates these problems are still happening? This is about the app function not the content! The app is terrible which is why I use the web instead. 1. Alerts take you to articles for 3 seconds and then back to home page! Just go to the website. 2. Why does this app delete all the alert notifications when you click on one? I haven’t found any other app that does this because it’s blindingly obviously stupid! 3. Alert notifications don’t highlight any new news items. 4. Scrolling without hitting an invisible ad is near impossible. 5. The comments kick you out to the web interface anyway.

2026-03-08	TU*****	For the love of God PLEASE fire your app developer and fix this damn thing! I have a brand new iPhone 16 yet this is consistently the glitchiest app. It constantly freezes and opens windows without me even touching the phone. So annoying and unprofessional. Good lord…

2026-03-01	GR*****	This app is so glitchy & complaints to them go unanswered. The worst part is as you scroll down through their stories and exit them, the stories feed returns to the top automatically. Seems like a simple fix but no effort to fix this.

2026-02-28	Ti*****	I finally found the fix for the app scrolling back to the top after returning from reading an article. I deleted the app and moved on to better services. I enjoy breitbart news on Sirius XM and for the life of me can’t understand why a news organization that lives on clicks refuses to clean up their functionality. At this point I could care less. The Gateway Pundit fills the void and I don’t have to go to a separate page either to read the comments.
