Cracked Reader Lite

This app barely functions. I have been a huge fan of your site for years, and downloaded the Cracked app as soon as it was available. I am sticking with you, despite the firing of many of my favorite writers. However if this thing continues to crash, freeze, tile my screen, and just generally make articles unreadable, then I will have to uninstall, and find a new daily humor site. If you can't make the app work, maybe don't have one. With all my love.

I have been a loyal reader of cracked for several years. Recently they laid off most of their staff and The content shows it. They produced videos daily and had well written articles from professionals. Now it is practically a bad meme site posing as journalism.

I am a daily Cracked Reader. However, yesterday I started getting a "No Internet Connection" error. I am on an HTC One M8. I hope this gets fixed soon. I miss my toilet reading quite dearly.

Don't get me wrong, I love the articles on Cracked. However, the pictures don't load anymore. Considering that many articles are either based on pictures or use pictures as part of the jokes. Without pictures, this becomes useless. If this doesn't get fixed, there isn't really much point to keeping this app.

I love the articles on the website, but now most of the pictures don't load. Also the captions on the pictures run together and are unreadable. The articles can still be funny, but it's not fun when most of an article is pictures.

Love cracked and I am a religious daily reader. Recently the pictures have stopped loading in the articles, which is difficult when something in a picture is referenced. You also miss on jokes too when they don't load. Please fix soon!

This app used to be one I'd check daily for new, funny, and informative articles. Lately none of the pictures will load and the picture captions are overlayed on top of each other and garbled. I've also noticed an overall decline in quality of content. I came to the app store to check for an update and to see if others were experiencing similar issues. Turns out not only is the app not functioning properly for others, but I've also discovered many of our favorite writers and contributors are no longer with cracked. It is very likely I will no longer be using the app and will probably just uninstall it.

This app used to be fine, but now it is useless. Most pictures don't load, and caption text overlays on top of itself to be an unreadable mess. Get your act together.

Much better than it used to be, but still pretty glitchy. Kind of annoying that Flashback articles don't have working images. End of the day, you're still better off using the mobile site.

Used to be awesome. Now it's garbage. With a lot of their best writers getting fired today, it's time to delete the app for good. I probably should have anyways as it's been garbage for a while.

Used to be great. Really simple. Now pictures don't load, captions aren't spaced and are unreadable and the whole app crashes in some cases, especially if the article is gif based.

Pictures don't load anymore. Articles will load with blank boxes where pictures should be. And two line captions below these photos are shown over top of each other. Let's get this fixed, I love cracked and this is terrible. I view on a Google pixel.

I've had this app for a few years, but over the last year and especially these last few months, things have started getting weird. Pages will close for no reason, gifs either don't play or crash the app (so forget checking picto-facto, or photoplasty), pictures aren't loading and the captions are all messed up. This is literally my favorite website and my favorite way to view said website, so please fix. Will change review once that happens.

Pictures in articles not loading, text below images are messed up, otherwise still enjoying the app, read it nearly every day. Please fix the image issues!

Loads articles smoother than Cracked's ridiculously clunky mobile site. BUT (and it's a big one if you couldn't tell) the caption boxes aren't formatted right so all the text is layered on top of itself. Come on, folks! The captions have are sometimes the best jokes on the entire page!

Crashes relentlessly, and photocaptions are garbled most of the time. Can't even get through a whole article now without multiple crashes. And now they fired everyone, so there's that...

I used to enjoy Cracked. The app is C R A P H I T images don't load, text is jumbled together. Very bad tbh.

I used to read cracked back when it was a magazine. Back then, it was what you read when Mad was sold out. It was the Pepsi of the magazine world. But their site changed everything; it really was one of the best comedy sites on the net. Unfortunately, the quality started declining a little while ago, and took a nosedive after the election. Making fun of politicians is one of the most important things a comedian can do, but this seems more like a meltdown than anything else. The comedy's been going down hill for a while... Now it's just unpleasant. Firing the great writers and staff was the final straw that lost them this reader.

Update: 15 Dec 2017 same as other reviews, pics won't load, articles don't load. Shame was a great app, now somewhat pointless

Would be nice if the photos loaded and the captions on said photos weren't gibberish. I find this discouraging as I like to read the new articles in the morning.

Continously crashes. It's got to a point where articles that actually CAN be read are an extremely irregular treat. No longer a source of comedy, just irritation.

Most of the pics and captions do not load. I uninstalled and installed numerous times to no avail.

Love the content (despite being upset by the layoffs of most of my favourite writers/performers), but most images fail to load anymore on Samsung S8 - forcing me to use the site instead.

The pictures don't load anymore and the captions cover themselves because multiple lines of text overlap... also they fired everybody who made it good

I used to love the app but a few months ago it started having problems. Some articles will only partially load. Sometimes half or more of the article is just blank and other times it loads no pics and overlays the captions. I know it's the app because the issue has followed through 3 phones and multiple version android. Get it working again and I'll change my rating to 5 stars. Thanks.

Was working fine for a really long time, but now a lot of the pics won't load. And if the caption is over one line long it is all written on the same line making it unreadable. Thought maybe I was missing an update. Hope this is fixed soon, usually some good jokes with the pictures

I have been a longtime follower of cracked. But you have to fix your app! Pictures won't load and the captions that are more than one line are jumbled on top of each other. I have the Galaxy S7 so I don't think it's my phone. Please fix bugs and I will give 5 stars.

I'm hoping they will get an update soon. It hasn't worked properly in weeks. Same as the other reviewers-- articles only half load, pictures almost never appear, and captions are unreadable since they are written over each other. Still like the articles but have to read them in a browser now.

Still a huge drain on the battery, slightly improved lately. Mostly it's 1 stat because half the articles have few or no pictures and all of the captions on the non existent pictures run together to become unreadable. How do you start charging a fee then somehow screw up the app even harder?

The Cracked app has ALWAYS been insanely buggy. There isn't a place to find all your comments. You have to go to each individual article and look for them, and you're never notified when someone responds to you.

None of the images in the articles show up. Pictofacts and photoplasty work fine (usually), but the articles are extremely frustrating to read when you don't get to see the pics -- especially since there are annoying empty boxes to disrupt the flow & remind you what you're missing.

This app is pretty suck. It's constantly crashing and I can rarely get through half an article without it throwing me back to the home screen. It's a real shame. I usually have to just visit the website... unfortunately it's not much better. Cracked. Smelly smelly cracked. It's a smelly like a butt and it makes me a sad boy. I couldn't even tell you if the fingers are smelly or not. I really couldn't. Not that I'd want to taste them anyway. Edit: It's still awfully smelly. Months later. Pictures and often time entire articles don't even load. Also, cracked in general has gotten worse with their content. Exceedingly sub-par.

I used to love cracked. It used to have 4-5 new articles every day. Over the past year or so it turned around though. Now we get 2-3 articles and some dumb 'most important things you need to know' or conspiracy theory collections consisting of 3 pictures and 50 words. And Christ, you hate Trump. We get it. We don't need a trump article every damn day. Please go back to how you used to be

I've just decided to give up on the app and start visiting Cracked on my phone's browser. It's more reliable, I can use adblock (while supporting Cracked directly through their store, subscribing, etc), and the images actually load. I love Cracked but it's been a tough journey as a mobile user.

The ads are very intrusive. Some conservative company bought them out and fired a massive amount of staff and kept just a few. It's not really the same place, just by name now. The quality of work they produce has went down. If you use the application and have root, AdAway and Lucky Patcher will both solve the annoying ads.

Images often do not load even after resetung app. Gifs can crash the app. It resets my bookmarks all the time now. Ongoing bookmark issues for over a year now. This app has never been perfectly smooth, each update solves and brings problems.

Great website and content and the app doesn't take too much space, which is refreshing. However the captions under the pictures have been glitchy since the last two updates. If a caption has two lines, the second line superimposes the first one, making the whole thing unreadable. Also, the pictures sometimes don't load on the first go and I have to restart the app. Hope you fix it and keep churning out the good stuff.

This is one of my favourite apps, but it's gone completely downhill. The vent worked in at least a year. Then the comments section is a mess, randomly place your responses on other posts. A few more the ago, captions under pictures that were more than a line long over lapped, making them unreadable. Now pictures won't load for the articles. The app needs an overhaul.

I have loved this app for years, but over the last few years it has had constant problems. Now the pi tires and captions won't show. I'd love to rate you guys better, but every time you did a problem you create another one. Please fix the problems and make your app usable on its most basic intended level before you try and make it more fancy.

Overall a good app, and much more stable than the website. I would rate it higher if the captions under images didn't glitch when they're longer than one line. That glitch makes the caption completely illegible, which sucks.
