Tom's Hardware for Android
Where is the forum?Where everyone makes Questions about problems they have? I wish I could give this 0★ because thats what this piece of s*** app deserves
The new layout is horrible. Why would I want to swipe 10 times to see the new stories? Whereas the old layout you could do a quick check of the stories. A regression if you ask me.
I don't mind the layout. What I find irritating is the little number on the top right hand corner showing me how many unread stories I have. I can't clear it. Would be nice to disable that feature.
The new layout is ok, much better for hi res displays. However not being able to easily disable notifications, which I had disabled previous to the update is not ok. I'm not sure but I believe this may even break Google's TOS. I can use OS level options to do this, but not everyone knows how to do this or has that option. Please fix.
Cant find the settings (and thus no way to disable annoying notifications from inside app). Also seems to drain battery (in background).
It was great (apart from the occasional crash), now it is an unmitigated disaster. So sad.
Crashing all the time. Really annoying. All apps should be tested with flaky internet connections. The new layout takes some getting used to, but I don't mind it.
Latest update is crap. Cannot get to read articles like before.
New interface is horrible, can't stand it... deinstall, sorry....
Alert over load and no way to disable alerts.
New layout is aweful.
This app sucks!!! Where is the forum??????????
What an abysmal disappointment. Literally the only accessible feature is the news page. We don't use THW for news. We use it for the forums. Honestly the website is really cluttered and dated as well. Fail app.
Feel ashamed of this app Tom'sHardware because the man who has made it isn't even an amateur or a beginner and if there was a 0 star rating I would have given it without any problems Total Disaster and It harms the reputation of the desktop site
**Note to Tom's Hardware** Get creative and add a donation request on your website landing page to aid in development of this app. If you guys can't afford to develop this, ask your loyal community for help, I'd be happy to cough up some money to see a nice mobile app which I can log into and receive mobile alerts regarding my posts/discussions/time sensitive help requests.
I should have checked the download ratings before downloading. Its just an RSS reader and to have an entire app for feeds from just one site that I check once in a blue moon doesn't make sense.
I like to see titles down page...new layout is slow..fails to get urls dont like it. Need alternative layout.
The articles is limited and there's no discussion forms. Even settings doesn't exist! There is no "sign in" anywhere. The app needs a major overhaul to make it useful again.
CREEPER APP
Can't read charts in reviews which makes it useless.
The font and pics are way too small! I have a 6.3" display and I'm wearing nifocals and I can hardly read it! Needs font setting! And the pics are really small! They are less than half the screen wide and only an inch or so high and tapping on them does nothing. This is "Tom's Guide"! With all due respect, you have to "represent" better! :-)
Rather useless app. Even the mobile site is much better than this. Thumbnails rarely load, can't search for a specific article and a whole myriad of other problems.
The formatting for everything is flat out odd, and you're stuck to trending threads! You can't even switch around or log in.
I wanted the app to read a new featured review on my phone, but the app only allows access to the most recent news ticker items. While it should have login and the forums, it could still be worth something without it. I'd like to be able to search past articles. I'm uninstalling since it can't do the thing I wanted to do with it. Tom's needs to just pull this app as it just makes them look bad as a tech site.
I really got this to get on the forums. It has no other functionality except browsing about 20 articles.

Thumbnails don't show up, links don't work. Really good content, when you can access it.
Very Limited choice of articles
Wheres the forum? I never cared about the articles...
This app hasn't been updated for a really long time. Crashes all the time. Images are not displayed properly
Could have been better....
Crashes frequently and images are too small to actually see. Don't waste your time.
No thumbnails, no sharing option and very outdated

best website and app
What is this?!!
Faster
Useless App
Fantastic website, and fantastic Windows 8 app... So why hasn't the Android app been updated in years?? It still looks like the first line should read "Hello World!"

THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. I cannot stand the new layout. I'd like to be able to see all of the titles at once. I hate having to scroll through them to read eat title and find the articles I'm actually interested in. Please change this and I will give it 5 stars. The old version was perfect in layout. Maybe have the same layout with an updated look.
