Missing text and content by anonymWhole paragraphs as well as videos and images are often missing in articles. This app has gotten worse 1/5
Material design please ? by anonymGoogle gave the developers great tools to build a nice UI for users. big websites like Engadget should take advantage of these tools. Please for the sake of humanity give Android a chance over iOS for once. 3/5
Content Ruined by Poorly Designed App by anonymLaggy, ad-infested, poor UX, no comments. 1/5
Much Inproved over last version! by anonymWAY WAY smoother when scrolling through the main page compared to the previous version of the app (with the blue Engadget logo) on my Galaxy S5. Also love the new color theme... Good job guys! Thumbs up ? 5/5
Images won't load by anonymNeed to fix this issue, then I will rate 5. It's my go to news app 2/5
Awesome app keeps u up to date about the cooles ways to spend the money that u dont have.. by anonymAmazing app love it... 5/5
by anonymONLY GAVE"3",BECAUSE I JUST INSTALLED IT,&,HAVEN'T EVEN USED IT YET,SINCE I LIKE THEIR MAIL APP, I THOUGHT I'D JUST GO AHEAD AND RATE IT SOMETHING".LOL? 3/5
It's been ages since it worked well by anonymTwo months ago an update killed the app. Half of the images don't load. New articles don't scroll to the end. Please fix 2/5
Used to work fine... by anonymSince the new update, most if the articles don't load well. 2/5
Great App by anonymAlways reports first in a nice abstract manner. Been a fan of the original website since a decade. 5/5
Nice mix of news by anonymWorks with no internet access if you cache the pages at home. Most news apps won't even open. 4/5
by anonymGreat app! BRING BACK THE OLD LOGO. THE NEW LOGO IS SQUARED OFF AND UGLY. I always had it on my home page. Not anymore. 5/5
Won't load? by anonymEver since the last updated the articles won't fully load? I need to constantly clear the data to get 1 or 2 full articles. Please fix. Nexus 10 and Samsung galaxy note edge. Any info on a update? 1/5
by anonymMy third most used app, and my absolute favorite on my tablet. The search bar could use some tweaking, though-(add capability for offline search, and cleaner overall search results). 5/5
Content > app by anonymToo often missing first part of articles. When that happens also missing contents. Would be great to have a way to remove read articles. 3/5
Buggy - hate it by anonymHalf the articles don't load completely and now the summary/index page is linking to the wrong articles. Fed up of only getting the first paragraph of articles. Uninstalling. If this is the best this tech team can come up with then how can you trust their view on the tech world. 1/5
Updates killing it! by anonymHalf loading articles that won't scroll. Pictures have taken 10+ mins to load(AOL dial-up running the server probably). Picture lists don't have the button to view the list making it a blank post. I've used this on my Nexus 5, 9, & 5X. These issues persist. The app is a bit better on iOS(which lends more credence to them being Apple biased). It seems like they don't care about Android support anymore. 1/5
Truncated or partially loaded by anonymBeen using for 3 years, recent update is has significant performance and usability issues. Many articles lag behind, not loading. Articles truncate, cannot access giveaways from within posts, and cannot get to some videos from within articles. 2/5
Junk now by anonymLong time user. App is no longer fit for use on phone or tablet. Frustratingly doesn't completely load all articles. Even when refreshing doesn't load previously loaded articles. Has been this way for months with no fixes. 1/5
Never fully loads by anonymWhy wont the pics and/or stories ever fully load?? I can switch wifi networks or even 4G and nothing! Uninstalling 3/5
Great content, terrible app... by anonymThis use to be such a good app and platform for discovering all great things tech. Now comments are broken, article thumbnails don't load and the bottom half of every article is missing. I hope you fix all of this because right now this app just downright blows. (still no update - uninstalled) 1/5
It use to be a decent news app...... by anonymIt's got so many bugs. Can't read comments anymore. It's worthless. I uninstalled it and now just open a browser. 1/5
1 star due to removal of comment section by anonymBy removing comment section this app has lost its purpose. Windows central will be my only tech news app worthy of being installed 1/5
Problems in new version by anonymStory images don't appear on landing page, stories truncated and missing embedded videos. Hard to believe this was tested! 2/5
Performance improvement by anonymactually loads new content now. Brand refresh. Same app. Needs to follow material design principles to look a bit better and the app icon should have rounded corners. It sticks out like a sore thumb on my home screen. Good update though! 5/5
New icon by anonymI love this app and use it everyday but the new icon is horrible and a gigantic eye sore on my home screen. 4/5
Not so much anymore by anonymI like the direction it's going in, however it has some serious problems. It seems every other article is truncated and many videos don't play. It also takes a while for new articles to show up. Other than that I really enjoy being able to favorite articles so they are easy to find later, perhaps this could be better if they were saved locally on the device though. 2/5
Love the new UI by anonymThe new ui is great, but it still has an issue with stories loading slowly causing me to click on one and it switch to the other article it just refreshed into its spot. Also, there seems to be an issue with it not always loading the articles thumbnails. Regardless of how good or bad of a connection my phone has at that moment. 3/5
Each update kills the Android app a little more by anonymAwesome site for tech news but I have a LG G3 D850 thing is a power house and many people have this phone yet articles under home lots of pictures will be missing and articles will be cut off and you can't read it all but if you go to the mobile section it all looks ok something is very wrong with this app like they did not even test for Android before they put it in the App Store it looks like they just used a HTML to Android app converter very sad app for a news company based on tech news 1/5
Latest update is borked. by anonymI used to like this app. But over the years it's become worse and worse. Truncated articles is this updates claim to fame. Hit up the website if you must but I'll likely opt for no Engadget at all. 1/5
If there was an option for zero stars by anonymBroken yet again, no longer fully loads articles or pics. Doesn't stop trying to refresh, inducing lag and making the app nigh unusable. Would use the regular website, but the redesign is so bad, that too is unusable. Amazing a source that reports on technology can't fix their own app. 1/5
Good Job guys, very smooth. by anonymMassive improvement in performance, a lot smother, much appreciated. Only issue is the app icon sticks out. Just round the edges or something, maybe add a boarder on the "e" and make the white transparent. Other than that awesome job. Love it. 5/5
No longer usable by anonymHas gone from a great app to no longer being usable. Articles no longer load properly and performance with scrolling and flipping through articles is abysmal. 1/5
Terrible by anonymThis app has consistently been the worst performing app I have used. Why can you get this working? Freezing and failing to load and force closes. I love tour site but this app is just terrible. Please fix it. 1/5
Ads... by anonym****update***************03/20/16 So the ad issue, I previously complained about, has been resolved.. But the app has become almost unusable. The main loop fails to fully load, usually missing the thumbnail in multiple articles. If I attempt to navigate these articles, I'm usually greeted with an unscrollable screen that shows nothing but the first paragraph or two. No citations, original article or the related article loop. I continue to enjoy the subject matter, but the app has become painful. 2/5
What a clunky app... by anonymI really like the content side of Engadget, but boy, is this a slow and clunky app. It's so busy loading info that scrolling through articles is a stuttering mess. Sort this out and I'd give the extra two stars. 3/5
Horrifically slow by anonymThe old app was perfectly fine until they removed comments which defeats the ENTIRE purpose off the news site. Everyone knows you get much more detailed information in the comments because the commenters are much smarter than journalists (even if they put tech in front). This app is pure garbage, it's slow to load and even if I wait a minute for it to load it is still slow to scroll and navigate. 1/5
OK but video missing by anonymSeems to work well. No performance issues but any story with video is useless because they hype up a video that you can't watch. No videos display in this app. Serious error on the developers part. Nobody told them that there are news articles with video? 3/5
New app has serious problems by anonymThe new app truncates articles - every article which has a video is defective add the video is nowhere to be seen! Also the app has serious performance issues, jittery scrolling, images very slow to load. Did you performance test this app before releasing it to the public? 1/5
The best tech news app but new update... by anonymRich high quality images, very much optimized for phone. The new update has bugs. Some articles do not load even though my Internet is fine. The articles load halfway with out images. 3/5
