Doesnt work anymore

When I open the app, it just shows the Vice logo, and nothing else ever actually loads. At least the old version of the app actually worked.

Get rid of your annoying Haiti pop-up vid.

In the last version of the app, this pop up was simply annoying, but we were able to exit out rather quickly. Now, it is impossible to close this video and have to completely shut down the app, making this app completely useless due to the fact that this video pops-up for every single article we try to access. Hint: We want to read your content. Not watch stupid pop-up videos that crash the app.

Love the new app

Great new look and feel, love getting all my vice articles in one place

Great update

The changes made were really beneficial

Smooth and Slick

The new App looks great and it is fast and speedy!

I wish there was an option for negative star ratings

Vice used to be filled with good quality journalism and interesting stories. Vice has steadily gone down hill and finally crashed and burned. Apparently theyll accept a story from any millenial with a word pad program. Spelling and grammatical errors are constant, and bias bleeds through like a gunshot wound on a white t-shirt. Old version of the app used to allow you to at least search for the decent stories left. New version blows. May as well download the cnn app. Its about the same quality and bias. 0 out of 10 will not use again.

Vast improvement

This app is a great improvement in terms of content! Its easy to switch between Vice, Vice News, Motherboard, etc. I would like to see some minor improvements with browsing content when I want to deep-dive into Vices wealth of coverage on many different subjects.

Bring back the photo essays

The new design of this app is making it difficult to find the photo essay section. Bring it back. For now, Im deleting this app and going straight back to your web site.

Stopped working

New version just shows logo and wont open.

Much easier

Love that I can read Broadly here. Also easy to find new videos from VICE!

Pretty good

I like vice a lot, and this app presents all their content clearly and concisely. Ive encountered two minor hiccups that Ill leave here 1) Broadly doesnt seem to want to update. Im still using the website for that 2) some of the embedded videos that are there on the website dont appear in app

Unreadable

Ill be half way down browsing articles and it will suddenly refresh for no reason. Also insanely laggy.

Much Better Since Update

Prior to the update, it seemed as if not a lot of attention was put towards it(the app). The look is a lot nicer, less buggy, and the advertisements are less "in-your-face," for a lack of a better term.

Need comments section

As I agree with over reviewers its gone downhill a bit, I still wouldnt go as far to say "might as well DL cnn." That aside, pls add a comment section. I always enjoy reading other ppls opinions n perspectives, especially on topics as provocative as yours!

get it together

no search bar,loses spots after leaving window for a few minutes, and is slow!

Awesome

This app is so beautifully designed, I love the UX and I can easily sort through content.

What happened?

Vice used to be great. They had what at least seemed like intelligent writers, and many actual journalists. Now it seems like half the articles are tossed off, less than half baked blog twaddle, written by smarmy, know-nothing douche bags. Deleting.

Critical Bug on IPhone 6s Plus

Whenever I try to view the videos category on the app it crashes and returns me to my home screen. I did not have this issue last week on an iPhone 6 Plus but now that Ive upgraded my phone to the 6s plus and updated to the newest software the app doesnt work. Automatically crashes upon trying to open the videos category. Im a big proponent of why fix whats good enough and with the case of the vice app and its recent update/restructure its no different

ANTI-TRUMP. This app is not what LifeZette said about Vice Media. 8/23/2016 story about Trump claimed he tried to push someone out a window. This is NOT a pro conservative app and I deleted it immediately. Dont waste your time on this app.

Ugh, the popup videos.

Is this the only option here? Id happily swim though twice as many flat ads than being startled by the same goddamn video every time I check this app—which is often. I know you need ad revenue, but come on. Be cool, guys.
