It has its issues, things they try to correct, but it always keep me entertained and it's one of my many apps used daily. Update: One day it logged me out of my Facebook link and it hasn't let me link the two since. I had several articles saved for reading later.
after the update it's gotten worse. every article I click on an ad pops up! it's incredibly annoying, so I decided to uninstall the app for good.
This app is no longer useable - the ads are absolutely insane! There's an ad before every article which is never brief. It also freezes everytime, so I can't move onto the article that I've been waiting to read. Other reviewers have reported experiencing these same issues... I'll change my review if this is corrected. Until then, this app has become a complete and utter disappointment.
I've had this app for idk how many years and i used to love it. USED TO. Now I can't click on more than two articles or quizzes without dealing with a freaking ad. Unless of course I now want to pay to not be inconvenienced. I understand a monthly fee/ad free fee for dating apps, games, and streaming sites but this is Buzzfeed......it's articles and quizzes. The old business model worked great; greediness is not a good look.
when having to pick pictures the printing on bottom too big. you can't see picture.
love buzzfeed, hate this app.... headlines are in tile format with no option for a list mode.... tiles dont display full headlines.... thats annoying and i dont like opening content without full descriptions on bf because most of the content is drivel and marketing.... please create an option to ditch the tiles.... your articles will be more enticing to open and display its full relevance....
I no longer enjoy it. Constantly force closes in the middle of reading. Multiple times every time I use the app. Deleting the app now, and maybe I'll try again in a few months. It has just gotten ridiculous at this point.

Font is way too small.Stop mixing quizes, trends, and advertizing.

used to be good, but the ads have gotten so intrusive, they wreck the whole experience. barely useable unless you want to be spammed like nobody's business. Deleted it today because of how terrible they are.
they used to have such great book lists and now the book section barely has anything to do with books.

“Quizzes are fun.”
“It's a great way to pass time because I can just pull up the app and get drawn into an article that's funny, serious, relatable, sad, etc.”
“But one time I think I tried making an account and then I never did and now it messed me up completely making an account and now I can't remake one.”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
