Twitchy

I’ve had Twitchy on my phone since Michelle Malkin started the site. Once she sold the site, the quality of function and content leaves much to be desired. Latest app update was over a year ago, and with the addition of a paywall, you now have to pay for access to comments. Yet those commenting don’t receive payment for their content. Absolute disaster of an app. Having checked again, Sarah D posted a supposed NYT op-ed dated 21 January 2025. Charlie Foxtrot.

I cannot believe that the team that publishes twitchy needs to charge 50$ a year for their content. Some charge I could understand, but from $0 to $50? Give me a break. And in the ensuing year I have tried innumerable times to sign up for their $50 content and the link never opens. I have to lower the star rating

This was my go to site for poking fun at the “woke” crowd. I can go in thru a browser, but the app just keeps saying “unable to load.” Please fix this and I’ll go back to five stars!!!!

Needs to default to the URL keyboard layout when asking for an email address etc. Cannot log in to disqus. Cannot comment on articles. Curiously, homed within the 63red app, the login to disqus works.

I started using this app way back when Michelle Malkin first developed it. It was better back then. Now I use it because I’m intentionally not on Twitter but I like to see what hypocrisy and garbage the media puts forth each day. They’ve tried to carry on but it’s changed a bit - they tend to cull the same twitter users’ content over and over. They’re good teeeters to cite but it gets old. I’m really tired of them featuring Alyssa Milano and other minor celebrities’ political opinions to make fun of them. How about just ignoring them? They do a good job compiling stories but I wish Sam J (editor) didn’t feel the need to insert her own voice in her introductions so often. It’s changed the perspective and seems less professional and more like you’re reading someone’s blog. Sometimes there are spelling errors and sloppy writing, repeated bad jokes ...That said, it’s still a resource I use and check daily! There’s not another app like it. When I do read a particularly good thread and want to share it with friends I can only share to Twitter or Facebook. It would be nice if we could copy a link for sharing via text, messenger or IG. I know they’re trying to monetize it by putting bigger articles behind a paywall and that doesn’t really bother me. Nothing good can be free.

Links to log in to comments do not work. Reset password email link takes me to a blank page with Twitchy logo. Are you just trying to hook people enough until they give in and buy your VIP service? I’d be happy to, but seems many of your writers have TDS and are too indoctrinated to the “woke” state of mind that you’re losing true Conservatives daily. **Update, I caved and paid for VIP for a year. Still can’t comment as app link to log into comments doesn’t work (iPhone 8). Had to log into Firefox on my iMac to be able to purchase the VIP. Now I feel I wasted my money because I’ve only seen 2-3 VIP posts since paying. Before paying, seemed like every other new post was VIP only. Scam. Malkin should have never sold. Terrible app.

Same as many, ugly and unresponsive ad riddled. What happened? This used to be much better.

I like Twitchy but I can no longer use the comments from Disgus. It won’t even let me sign in. I have to go to the website from Safari. Very annoying. Please get it fixed. It used to work. I’m on Twitchy less and less because of that. Not smart to not get that fixed. Doesn’t work on my iPad or iPhone.

Can’t login to Discus on iPhone X using app. Login ok using website but doesn’t transfer to app.

First review I have ever written. I love twitchy! Before the pay wall, I would scroll through several times a day on my iPhone X. As soon as the pay wall began, there was a lot of difficulty scrolling in portrait mode when you open the articles. It just doesn’t work, requiring you then to turn on the phone and read the article in landscape mode. Then I turn the phone back to portrait mode to look at the main page, and back to landscape mode to read the article. In the article, that’s the only way to move the ads. Additionally when the pay wall started they removed anyway to contact Twitchy for help. I keep coming back hoping they’ll fix it because I really like the website, but they just don’t. It’s so very disappointing. If I had a way to contact twitchy directly to ask for help I would, but all I have is this Review, so take my one star, even though you haven’t earned it. I almost wish I never started reading them at all.
