The Cracked Reader (Lite) App Reviews

Terrible app. Crashes constantly and if not it just freezes up. Love the articles but it is just not worth the hassle. I have been waiting a long time for cracked to fix this issue but it only seems to get worse.

Articles often wont open when tapped (often ones authored anonymous) and recently stories disappear after a few seconds of reading and Im just left with a white screen. Articles are great tho. Been reading cracked regularly for years! So fix the app!

Constantly crashes and half the articles wont open so you end up using regular internet. #firstworldproblem

If its not crashing its freezing up my whole damn iPod!! I keep hoping that the next update fixes the problems but it just keeps getting worse and worse! Fire your app guy, scrap this one and just start over already.

Amazing content and articles, if only the app would work.. 90% of the time, it doesnt open. At all. And when it does, it freezes on the first article you read. Horrible dev work. Its unfortunate.

I love Cracked but a bunch of bugs plague this app. Articles will sometimes just not open (about one every 2-3 days). Comments get cut off halfway, and videos have a weird lag between audio and video which make them hard to watch. A few bugfixes would make me super happy!

Articles are not crashing the app, articles are loading properly and the new look and layout are awesome.

The interface of the mobile app is great, its clean and simple, and everything is nice and easy to read. However, the app has some things that it could improve on. First and foremost, is a bug thats been unfixed in numerous versions. Sometimes an article will go completely blank for absolutely no reason, and youre forced to go back an article/go back to the home page and re-select the article to refresh it. This happens seemingly at random, so if youre unlucky, you may end up refreshing an article 5+ times by the time you finish reading it. If a bug fix isnt possible, a History/Recent tab would be nice so that you could easily refresh the article if you didnt bookmark it. A search function would also be nice, but not necessary. Overall, its a good app. The articles are always entertaining to read and the apps loading speed and crash rate seems to have drastically improved from the previous version.

The new setup is great. Its nice that I can actually read each article now and that all articles actually show up. The one beef I have is that it will frequently turn off my music while reading which is extremely annoying.

Ive tried to love this app (because I love the website) but I give up. Ive given years of second chances to this app. It just doesnt work. iOS 9.2 iPhone 6.

I think its awesome. Works fine on iOS 9.2 with iPhone 6. The only weird thing is that the titles of the articles sometimes change -- I wonder if maybe theyre tracking the views and tweaking the wording to attract more views (not that theres anything wrong with that).

All in all it works well. But new content doesnt update until hours after the website posts it. Also there is no landscape mode.

Unfortunately you cant read most pics since you cant zoom in or landscape. Love the content tho

My absolutely favourite app always a great read!

Still has the occasional freeze/crash, but VASTLY improved over previous versions. Content is as great as ever.

Great app for those needing a Cracked fix. Works well for me because Id rather not have to associate with sketchy dealers and I hate needles. Ahhh, thats the good stuff!

My incredible boredom is routinely slaked by the wonderful articles and humour to be found on Cracked. The app is consistent for basic article reading, though occasionally pictures are slow loading. The videos are pretty solid, but there is no playlist option. Searching for older articles is also much restricted.

Exceptional

Please update the app so it looks good on the larger iPhones.

Great app. Id give 5 stars if offline browsing was enables.
