BuzzFeed - Quiz, Trivia & News

Buzzfeed has become full of overused and boring content and more recently, bad faith journalism and flat-out misinformation. The articles are lazy, completely under-researched, biased, poorly written, and often hardly readable. I used to really like Buzzfeed but the content has decreased in quality and all of their gift guides and shopping articles just recycle the same 20-or-so products. The quizzes are broken a lot of the time and app crashes often and logs me out at least a few times a week for no reason. I still like some of the content, but overall I’m very disappointed in way Buzzfeed has turned into. Update: some bugs have been fixed, but overall, not a really any noticeable improvement. Also, with the newest update, they’ve completely changed the formatting and layout of the app which is truly unnecessary and annoying. The top and bottom tool bars on the screen have swapped and some features have been removed entirely. There was no issue with how it was formatted before. Update II: Now the homepage is no longer in chronological order so I see the same days or weeks old articles at the very top instead of the most recent ones. It’s frustrating because I’ve already read/seen most of the things that are being featured. I wish it would go back to being chronological.

When I first wanted to make an account, it took me three weeks. I tried every way possible and it finally took me going to a computer (couldn’t use my phone) to make an account. Yes, you can use the app without an account but I wanted to bookmark my favorite things. I’ve never commented, never posted so I don’t think I’ve been blocked or sm but now, I CAN’T LOG IN. I’ve been logged out and my assumption was to reset my password, right? Well, it won’t send the email, and when I went to the FAQ and clicked the link as to why I didn't get the email, it just redirected me to the top. I want to be a member but I don’t want to fight every step of the way. Please, PLEASE make it easier for people to sign in and make accounts, etc. I like the quizzes I like the posts but it obviously doesn’t like me. Deleting the app, if I can’t log in then why bother?

Ok so the app's great and all and I would love to give it five stars but I can’t. You really really need to work on the way that you have people make accounts. I downloaded the app and I liked it. I saw some stuff I wanted to bookmark but needed an account. Ok. Cool. So I go to the face in the corner and can I just say it doesn’t even give me the freaking option to make an account. Alright whatever I’ll just go on the handy dandy web. So I went to buzzfeed’s website and it tells me how to make an account. First of all it’s not even up to date as it says “don’t use Facebook to sign up” but now there’s google and twitter that can be used as well and it doesn’t specify if those are ok to use. Anyway I go ahead and sign up with google and then after that it just closed the sign up page. So I clicked the link that was on the website again and it brought me to the same sign up page. So before I tried to sign up again I went to check my email and see if it sent me a verification link. Nothing. So I went back to the sign up website to make an account and instead of signing up with google I used my email. But of course it took my attempt to sign up half way. It took the email, but didn’t set up the account. So when I tried to use my email it said the email had already been used. So now I have no way of making an account unless I make a second email which I’m not doing. Also it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to...I dunno...maybe put a way to make an account IN THE APP LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE!? Let’s not forget I had to go on the stupid unorganized website to make an account that can’t be made. Fix the freaking problem please and thank you. Also just so you know if you look at other reviews I’m not the only one with account issues.
