App seems to be down or has crashed. The website works, but is not as convenient as having an app. Have used this app for years and while it has always been a bit glitchy, I have never seen it be down for this long. It has been down for over 2 days. While I am at it, BRING BACK THE BERRY! WE LOVED IT!! After many, many years it seems we are parting ways. Goodbye, theChive. Uninstalled.

Terrible. Quick description ......the app crashes, glitches, locks up, overheats the device you're using and KILLS your battery life. Wouldn't reccomend to anyone really. Used to be a great app. It was so smooth and was a joy to use. I dont know what happened. Oh, and the sheer amount of ads are unreal. I Appreciate the Chive Charities and what they represent. But this application is so brutal. Dont waste your time.

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
