Not the Bee

Most people that download this app probably love the content already. I’m here to talk about the app itself: Layout is fine, but navigation is a little tough some times. My wishlist of changes would include a sort option, easier transition to “next” article, and general navigation improvements. My biggest issue with your app is the ads. They often force the page to adjust spacing, causing the page to “jump” and making it difficult to read the article. Sometimes certain ads will make the page reload. This is especially bad when there are imbedded tweets, which also reload, and the page goes nuts. I understand you are involved in journalism as a way to make a living and ads are necessary, but please work with your advertising group to make sure the ads don’t interfere with use of your app.

This app quickly replaced my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and even Reddit apps. I check it every day in my spare time for the latest crazy, funny, interesting, and insane news stories of the moment. My only complaint is directed to the developers of the app: please make it smoother! I get that you have to include a ton of ads in the app but at least make it so they don’t keep messing up where I’m at in an article as I’m scrolling so I have to find where I was again. In some cases, the entire screen will go blank and I have to reload the page to get back to the article. I’ve even had it happen mid-video, very annoying. Keep up the great work!

This community is by far the greatest community I’ve been a part of online.. and I’ve been online since 1998! There’s fun, there’s laughter, there’s cordial discussions, not to mention jest battles of anything you can imagine. If you have a hobby or an interest, there’s a group for it. If you need support, you’ll be flooded with love and prayer. If you love to argue over whether pineapple on pizza should exist or not, this is your place. With all that’s going on in the world right now, this place has softened my tension and broadened my circle. I love Not the Bee. You will too. 🐝💕
