User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the content when the app works, noting it can offer more articles and good mobile image display. However, widespread reliability and usability problems dominate: crashes, endless loading, and freezing; intrusive ads/overlays that hinder reading; no font-size controls; and occasional compatibility issues. The result is a strong sense that the content is valuable, but the app itself is not reliably usable yet.

Pros

High-quality, wide-ranging Ancient Origins content.
Mobile-friendly viewing with images that look great on phones.
The app may offer more articles and easier browsing than the website.

Cons

App crashes, freezes, or won't load past the opening screen.
Intrusive ads or pop-ups disrupt reading and navigation.
Font size is very small with no option to adjust.
Compatibility issues with iOS—black screens or unusable after updates.

Recent reviews

The font size is sooooo small and there’s no option to change it. And it links to weird pages. It’s really cumbersome to use. Y’all should just try again and scrap this junk. BYW I am a paying customer

I recently discovered their website & love it. Decided to take a chance on this app due to the most recent review being positive. Absolutely worth it! Pages and especially images look fantastic on my phone. There are two main sections, Latest or Most Read. There are also several categories like Artifacts, Ancient Places, Unsolved, and more including one for Opinions. It seems to me there are more articles available through the app, although that may just be due to how easy it is to browse compared to the website. Previous 1 & 2 Star reviews had complained about excessive Ads. The only Ads I have seen is a half inch tall static banner across the bottom of my screen.
