Real Clear Politics Reviews

by MJ_AZnow

Long time subscriber to the online site. It is my go site to get timely updates on both side of the debate. Easy to navigate and never a problem. Visit several times a day.
RealClearPolitics is an abject disaster. Glitches abound. Coverage is limited. Links to the rest of the RealClear suite is missing.
I’d rather do without the handy phone version, than settle for this amateurish offering.

They can’t even be bothered to fix the typo saying “Lastest News” instead of “Latest” news after WEEKS (perhaps longer). It’s obvious there was absolutely zero quality control on this. If I led marketing there I’d fire somebody. Embarrassing.

A total loser of an app that they incredibly want to charge you to use! Just use the website. It's faster, cleaner and free.

First day of using RealClearPolitics . Pretty stoked about the “14 day free trial”, which isn’t a 14 day free trial. It is just a “free version” of RealClearPolitics with annoying pop-up “ads” for a full subscription on nearly every screen change. If you’re going to do a free trial, maybe give the user an experience that would be had with a paid subscription, which is the point of a free trial. Content is great by the way, but I’m not trying RealClearPolitics for the content. I’m trying it for convenience, and it is severely lacking in that.

I am a current RCP subscriber via their website. How do I log into my account on RealClearPolitics ?

Who would pay to use RealClearPolitics? Seriously? Deleted.

Needs improvement. Simple - table stakes things like click targets and responsiveness.

I wanted to try it out. But the constant pop ups made it frustrating. I could read for one minute without something else getting in my way. Sorry guys, I will not be subscribing.

Used RealClearPolitics for about 2 minutes before getting sick of the pop-ups. Every time you change to a different page, you get a pop-up trying to get you to purchase something. Very, very annoying and would otherwise be a good app.

Not even 10 seconds into my first story and an ad takes over my screen. If you want people to not use your app this is a good way to do it.

I purchased an annual subscription in November 2022. Worked fine until February 21, 2023. Content no longer being refreshed. Instead getting a message that the free trial period expired. Three requests for help or refund ($34.99) all unanswered. Think hard before purchasing a subscription.

The video pop ups are annoying me. I’m reading an article and suddenly the screen goes black and a video pops up. Don’t want to watch the video. Just want to continue reading so I close the video. Then it pops up again a few moments later. I close it again. Pops up again. Close it again…and again…and again. Ad infinitum.

I’d much rather use the RCP website, but now have constantly sign in since Apple started the private browsing. So I’m stuck with RealClearPolitics .

Is there a way to stop the videos from popping up? If I want to watch a video I’ll click on it.

Should be easier to open

While I really like RCP and have used their website for years, it’s frustrating that you need a subscription ti RealClearPolitics to access the same polling data you can access for free via the standard online website.

Polling section on the current version has a lot of unused space and doesn’t tell us if we are looking at an A, RV, or LV sample.

by Too Much Drivel

There is a lot of info here that is very useful. A lot of good columns are listed. Unfortunately the editors sometimes succumb to their own bias by running right wing propaganda instead of rational conservative thought. They should wake up and not support anti-democratic drivel that is a feature of some on the right.

by Malayagrove

it lacks is the ability to comment is I’m not mistaken.

by Chuckiezip

Works pretty well. Wish I could figure out how to access other real clear sites like on the web

by Pop Pop Dunny

The best news app on the internet by far.

by RatzyTatzy

…and side by side choice of thoughtful, well-written conservative articles and mindless, left-wing dribble. You get it all on one page.

Real clear is the absolute best source for all things related to US Politics. Effectively represents most viewpoints and gives them voice

by Golf Nut 1

I enjoy reading articles from both sides. The one problem I have with your site is that when I open RealClearPolitics it doesn’t acknowledge my subscription and I have to do some maneuvering to get access to the polls.

The best website/app for news. Nothing else even close.

by SimplyScottish

It can be hard to find trustworthy balanced news sources in today’s media environment. this app lives up to its name and delivers. I appreciate that both sides of controversial or breaking news and events are represented. Excellent coverage, delivered by a competent team of professionals. Thank you!
