I was getting theSkimm through my email for years but have really enjoyed the app over the past year and a half. Easy and enjoyable to read every morning, and the additional articles and news updates are helpful as well.
★★★★★
Love getting my news summary from the skimm every day. It's a great overview of things going on in the world but I was just notified it will no longer be supported on Android devices. Whyyyy???? That makes me so sad!
★★☆☆☆
I love the Skimm, but the Android app is too buggy. I get time out errors constantly, app crashes, and the Deeper Dive links all link to nothing but a page telling me to become a premium member when I already am. Support is also not responsive to emails. These problems are why I'm canceling my subscription. Can't justify spending 2.99 a month for a broken app. Hope to see improvements in the future.
★★☆☆☆
I was sent an email with a free 3-month trial of the app. After 1 week, I was charged. I did ask about the charge and was advised that the 3-month free trial did not apply to Android users. Looking at the original email, it also said so, just at the bottom fine print. Still not sure why the company wouldn't have been more open about it, but I figured I would try it anyway. Same glitches and crashes others reported. No different, "secret" news than what you can get for free. Uninstalled.
