| 2024-01-17 |  | | Not the Bee is a great source for relevant news all delivered with a sense of humor that keeps the otherwise depressing news tolerable. Somehow these guys are really on top of things. I often get a new story feed from Not the Bee before it even comes through on some of the major news outlets. |
| 2023-10-11 |  | | There should be a zero rating for all apps from Playstore.It signed me out now it says my email doesn't exist when I try to sign in, yet I still get emails When I go to the website it says my email is already in use and I have to start a new account?? As with all apps from playstore, totally worthless. Why do your apps only work until the first update (or downgrade)? |
| 2023-06-21 |  | | love this. Edit: as of about 6/30 no longer receiving app notifications of any kind on my phone. LgV60. Not sure if phone issue or app issue. Everything up to date that I'm aware of. Uninstalled and reinstalled. No change. Please help. Well it's been awhile and I had just started getting notifications again last month but it only lasted about 2 weeks. Disappointed. Please fix. |
| 2022-12-20 |  | | Is there a reason why this app is considerably slower at loading content and uses tons more data than either Babylon Bee or (formerly) Disrn? I love the content but this app is kind of making it difficult to get to the content. UPDATE: still an issue. Loading a page in this app is really slow compared to loading the same page in any browser (same point in time, same device and location). Something in the app needs to work a bit better. |
| 2022-11-02 |  | | Great app. Great community. I knocked 1 star for 2 reasons: 1) a lot of the news is repeating and talking about Twitter threads. Not a bad thing, just not exactly journalism. 2) Community still seems a little small. Would love to see it grow. Or maybe that's just my end based on how I've curated my feed. |
| 2022-09-17 |  | | Loved this app... until recently. It now takes MINUTES for the app to render its landing page. Not sure what changed, but it is the only web app on my phone NOT loading in sub-second times. Please fix it! |
| 2022-07-10 |  | | So when am I going to get an app that doesn't require me to log in every single time I use it. My phone is in my possession. Always. And it's locked by a pin. No other app except for my banking app requires that I log in every single time. Babylon bee and not the bee both from one moment to the next can't remember my username and password... Cannot keep me logged in. Annoying. |
| 2022-03-31 |  | | This app is so easy to navigate. I hate searching and searching for information that I need. I'm sure that this app was created for my ADHD brain. I lose patience quickly and dislike scrolling through to oblivion; I just bookmark what I think is informative so I can easily find it in the future. Thank you! Lastly, the staff of NTB is always interacting with everyone. I feel so welcome here. It doesn't matter who are, they converse with us all, even simpletons like me. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 ❤️❤️ |
| 2022-01-10 |  | | Pretty good app. Many times it goes to a "Not found" page while reading, back button gets you back about where you were. Also ads resizing makes you loose your place, but bearable. |
| 2021-09-25 |  | | I had successfully created an account on the website with Brave browser. (Android) Works great! Then I installed this app. I was intending to subscribe, and tried for a good ten minutes to upgrade my account through the app. Ha! Good luck finding that option on the app. The option to upgrade is easy to find on their website. (psssst... Brave browser kills pop-up ads. Now my default.) I may still upgrade my subscription. But not tonight... |
