Comments on The Hill for Android

★★★★★ 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 😊🙏

★★★★★ scott taylor · May 22, 2025

The Hill is an excellent source for political news. I find their reporting to be fact based and unbiased.

★★★★☆ Deanna Baker · Dec 29, 2022

Seems a little left leaning. I really don't read it that much, though, to give an educated opinion.

★☆☆☆☆ S · Feb 7, 2025

Way too many ads, with one roughly every minute or so, AND the ads (of course) play at 2-3X the volume of the news stories. No, thanks. Uninstalling.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Lee Bixby · Feb 4, 2024

The app updated and now instead of opening an article it goes to * blank, and you have to back out to the article, adds a good 5 seconds to opening up an article. App is laggy and annoying. The Hill has been my 'go to' app for news but until they fix this it's not worth it
