Comments on theCHIVE for Android

★★★★☆ Darren Beasley · Jan 13, 2026

Updating my review to a good status as the newest update that came down last night/early this morning has finally corrected the issues with the non-loading black screen. Back in action, but will further review content later.

★★★★★ Charley Brown · Sep 22, 2025

Great app to get away from doom scrolling!

★★★★★ Matt Chipley · Sep 18, 2025

It has come along way over the last 15 years or so! KCCO

★★★★★ Andrew Levesley · Sep 25, 2025

Used every day for last 6 years to cheer me up, so much, so I have the words 'the chive' screen image burned into my phone screen. Think that says it all

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Hill · Dec 2, 2025

It was a great app until it became so censored. The new update gets rid of the ability to enable the "Hotness" content by removing the gear icon. Ads are ridiculous now and the content isn't worth viewing much anymore. It's a shame

★☆☆☆☆ Marcos Avellan · Nov 19, 2025

UPDATE 11.19.25. SRY CONFIRMED HOTNESS IS GONE AND SO AM I. PEACE. What happened to this app? I had it at a 5 star. But now Hotness is gone, and the instructions to get it are erroneous, wants you to hit a cog where a cog don't exist. They market Humor Hotness and Humanity, but with Hotness gone that's 1/3 of the allure, and you can get Humor and Humanity anywhere online. Having the trifecta is what made this app great 😞

★☆☆☆☆ Trey Willson · Feb 25, 2026

Everything that made the Chive great is now gone. What's left is just sad.
