All of the content is meticulously curated by human editors and is family friendly. theCHIVE is an AI-free zone (unless we are making fun of it).

We hope you enjoy our little corner of the internet.

Really wish the search function worked well for articles. I will read the full article name and type it in to search, and all the wrong articles come up. Even if I don't know the full name but remember keywords from it, the article I search is hardly ever returned. Mind you, the reason I have to search so much is because the app often crashes on me or if I go into another app to send a text or something and then come back, the article I was reading is lost and I'm back in the home page

It was good for a while there. Annnd now it sucks again. Constant crashing is back. Constantly inundated with ads. And finally, now after the most recent update I can only see like 10 or so posts per category, even though there's obviously way more. I waited a while to complain hoping it was just temporary but it only seems to be getting worse when updates come in

Want to love it, but..... My gawd, how can every two-bit fruit stand in some 3rd world country have an app that runs but the "probably best app in the world" can't run for 2 minutes without crashing? And not crashing once or twice....constantly. I love the humor and the content and all the stuff I see, but there's no logic in having great content no one can access. They do so much good for a lot of folks, I won't stop supporting them, but I won't ever pay for anything they sell..or subscribe.
