The Daily Caller Reviews

by Damonty862

The news items are great and not just a reiteration of the same contrite storyline. If I could rate them outside of TheDailyCaller I would give them 5 stars. However, over the past couple of months I had to report glitches through the online email address because I couldn’t find a way through TheDailyCaller . First, the search function wasn’t functioning. It would time out. Then state File Unable To Load. Server Error. I never received an automatic reply email. I suppose they received many emails because the problem was resolved. Second, is the same complaint as many others have written about. You get a couple of sentences and it says Read More. You tap on it and it brings you to another page with the exact same thing. Lastly, I’m don’t like all of the advertising either as so many others have written in their reviews. I noticed that the ads became very intrusive once The Daily Caller News Foundation began to a subscription based service. I feel like it’s a punishment to those of us who have been reading their articles since Tucker Carlson days and helped make them popular. I don’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. I understand that they need to make money but the amount of ads are obnoxious. It’s for all of these reasons why I gave TheDailyCaller a one star rating.

The Daily caller corrected most of the problems in their ap & it worked great for a while, now they’ve screwed it up again. Video content has no sound & the popup ads are so frequent & obtrusive that it makes the user experience terrible. I just deleted it again & have decided that I’m done with The Daily Caller.

I love the content, HATE TheDailyCaller , it closes by itself, 80% of the time it won’t render the content at all & when it does it’s not formatted properly to view on my iPhone; if I were looking for an example of how NOT to create an app, this would be exhibit #1!

I used to be a big fan of the daily caller but I’m seeing what happens at Fox news starting to happen here. It used to be a fair and balanced news outlet but I can see the narrative they are starting to push. I just can’t in good conscious give us a five star rating anymore. I’ve had your app on my phone for Years. I would read your scroll every morning in the past three or four months I don’t even open it anymore. I just hope if I delete it I don’t get updates like Fox News as well. I can’t for the life of me to stop the notifications from fox even though I don’t have it. Please don’t send me notifications. Good luck but I see this heading away of the drudge report at the bottom of the ocean.

I thought conservatives were for freedom to choose, minimal big brother? So why then when I set my phone to silence with volume on minimum does the TDC app then take control of the volume as it splashes a video add in your face. Fine you need to make money but you turn the volume up, and to an obnoxious level. How dare you do this. Your app is now history to me. What a shame. Why do this. Why ruin a 5 star news app?

UPDATE: I have deleted the Daily Caller app. Although the information on it is very good, my complaints below continue, and I have another complaint large enough to delete TheDailyCaller . For the past months Daily Caller has had certain articles, many per day, that you are unallowed to read unless you pay them a hefty monthly fee. If Daily Caller truly wanted the dissemination of this very important information one would not force someone to pay for it. Also, there is no ability before clicking on an article to know if it is one you have to watch an ad to read, or if you cannot read the article at all due to it being only for pay members. Some of these “pay articles“ have seemed important to disseminate to all without having to pay for them.

I would suggest deleting this pay-to-read app and get the “BreitHedge” or the “Report” app instead. You get more information without the ads or the “pay-to-read” crap.

UPDATE END

TheDailyCaller has been a spectacular source for conservative-leaning articles and continues to be through today.

Unfortunately they have decided to insert pop-up ads about 75% of the time when clicking on a link to an article. They are the kind of ads you have to wait a few seconds before you are able to X off the ad. Having to deal with this hassle 3 out of four clicks kind of wrecks TheDailyCaller for me.

I would love to rate TheDailyCaller 5 stars, but the new ads bump it down to 2...

I would love this sight if it didn’t kick on horrifying video ads that blast loud music and sometimes I can’t even find a way to x them out. Infuriating. LOVE THE CONTENT. Usually don’t have the stomach to open TheDailyCaller . Also, as I scroll down, TheDailyCaller will suddenly jump several articles and I have a hard time finding my place again. I even looked to see if there was a purchase app that wouldn’t torment me by taking my phone over with loud ads. Didn’t find one.

1. Selecting an article often takes one to the opening paragraph, which is then followed by a “read on” link. Selecting that “read on” link takes one to the opening paragraph followed by a “read on” link. Selecting that “read on” link takes one to the opening paragraph followed by a “read on” link . . .

2. Scrolling through the articles can trigger a violent loading of more articles, “jumping” the reference point past the article to which one scrolled.

3. Once in the articles editing is atrocious. Slang, fragments, and cliches abound. Wrong word choice is rampant (e.g., “he through a Molotov cocktail,” when threw would be correct)

I am generally of a conservative bent, and I unfortunately find TheDailyCaller so bad as to be distracting.

It’s instantly clear that their restricted premium articles are simply worthless rambling opinion pieces - just look at the titles/content. Also, they lazily use Disqus for comments which is know to constantly flag new users’ comments as spam and is otherwise the opposite of concerned with anyone’s privacy

It’s a money juicer and you’re the halved orange.

First bug:
Any article that presents a “read more” button is broken. Once read more is tapped, the page refreshes but no new content is displayed. It merely refreshes the current page and presents the read more button again, an infinite loop.

Second Bug:
Once the contact form within TheDailyCaller is filled out and the submit button is pressed, it fails and presents a dialog box that says,”the resource could not be loaded because TheDailyCaller transport security policy requires the use of a secure connection”

I fully understand the need for ads. That being said, the new ads are ridiculous. I READ the daily caller articles. To have video with loud audio ads makes it impossible for me to use this ap (I.e. read the articles) in public or at work.
Please change the new advertising platforms.
The content is great and I love reading the stories. But I cannot do so if the current advertising platform stays in place.

While I love to read the articles on TheDailyCaller I don’t always have time and want to save it for when I can. However when I go to the flagged articles TheDailyCaller ALWAYS crashes. I have written several times about this but have NEVER received a response and the problem still exists. I rarely use TheDailyCaller anymore and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

For such an important opinion source TheDailyCaller format is terrible. Chopping headlines to the point that you have no idea what the article is about to make room for an image? TheDailyCaller jumps and you lose you place when the ads reload? I’m sure you paid dearly to create TheDailyCaller. You could have done better with a free template. Professional content with Amateur presentation.

Not a fan of the right nor the left, but TheDailyCaller seems to have a good balance of both. Articles that are pro-right are not bad but just have a different perspective. But there are other articles that are not really slanted either way. The UI of the DC is one of the best so far plus it is smooth and easy to use. Nice job.

I noticed that Pro Trump Articles Are taking Longer To Load. The articles that Leftists don’t mind go on right away. DC I think The Leftists are Trying to Hinder conservative articles from getting through or make it Difficult to get through. I like conservative News. Liberals we See the Games your playing STOP IT!

Considering we are constantly fed information from our mainstream media that is biased, erroneous, and self-serving, thank God we have an option to read a site that reports the info, then lets the reader do their own thinking. My main issue? The attractive banners and notifications that pop up on my phone, when clicked, never seem to take me to the accompanying article they’re promoting. Instead, it dumps me onto a generic home page. As a result, i don’t click on the stories anymore and am forced to get my news elsewhere

by Friscobill

For a long time I went to The Daily Caller for objective reporting. However, for some reason TheDailyCaller simply failed to work most of the time. Headlines appeared but the stories didn’t follow. I begged “Please get it fixed”

UPDATE

Well, someone was paying attention and made the necessary fixes and improvements. A nice piece of work. Thank you. I enjoy my DC news now. Best wishes to all.

The news I read must be fair and accurate. The Daily Caller meets both of those standards. I also enjoy the background and the depth the Daily Caller goes into to give me a fuller picture of the news story. My app works great.

by Vani415

I like the Daily Caller a lot. I only have two news oriented apps on my phone and the Daily Caller is one of them. There are so many supposedly “news” outlets these days that gather articles that aim to trigger or just get clicks. The Daily Caller focuses on interesting, informative articles and the overall feel of TheDailyCaller is informative.

Quick read and interesting information! Always up to date as well!!

I’ve been a big fan of The Daily Caller for years. Until this recent update I have struggled using TheDailyCaller for a variety of user-unfriendly reasons. Often I would be frustrated and forced to close TheDailyCaller and go to the website to finish reading a story. Other times I would just close and go to another of my favorite news apps. I don’t know if you changed app developers or looked at it from a user experience perspective but it’s better and I’m glad.
