Comments on The Hill for Android

★★★★★ Marcus Neal · Jan 2, 2025
I'm so excited for future updates to this app, I recommend a dark theme to make nighttime reading easier 😀
★★★★☆ Deanna Baker · Dec 29, 2022
Seems a little left leaning. I really don't read it that much, though, to give an educated opinion.
★★★★★ scott taylor · May 22, 2025
The Hill is an excellent source for political news. I find their reporting to be fact based and unbiased.
★★★★★ Marcus Neal · Aug 4, 2024
Great app, I recommend a dark theme that goes with the text on the app, so it will be a more improved reading experience. Thank You 😊🙏
★☆☆☆☆ Chase Lemke · Sep 10, 2026
I keep this app in my arsenal for a mixed diet of political viewpoints. As long as you stay away from the opinion pieces, it does a decent job (although too often the opinion pieces are hidden into the article list, and you have to dodge them). But this app is BEREFT with technical issues. Weeks can go by where I can't open the home page, often times scrolling down will cause crazy jittering that makes reading nigh impossible. Good news reporting, horrid app execution.
★☆☆☆☆ David Stenroos · May 8, 2025
All of a sudden this is inundated with ads where I can only read maybe 5 lines of text before having to scroll. And the ads are causing the screen to jitter up and down the whole time rendering this app useless.
★☆☆☆☆ SJ H · Mar 29, 2024
Discovered misquotes published by the Hill concerning RFK Jr and removed the app for good. No room for misinformation.
