UPDATE: DRUDGE APP IPHONE, IPAD...

Welcome to the all new version 7 of the one and only official Drudge Report app.

Here’s all you need to know to use the app to it’s fullest:

*** NOTIFICATIONS ***
On first open, iOS will ask you to allow notifications. Tapping “Allow” results in alerts being sent to your phone whenever there is a siren, new banner or a highlighted headline (e.g. colored red.)

Review these urgent headlines anytime by tapping on the urgent headlines button (bell with lines under it.) Then to modify which alerts you receive by tapping on the settings (gear) icon.

*** SCROLL TO TOP ***
Tap on the reload button.

*** COLUMN SWITCHING (phones) ***
Tap on the columns icon once to be taken to the top of the first column.
Tap again for the top of the second column.
Tap for the third column.
Tap one more time and you’ll be brought to the top.
Repeat as desired.

Ratings and Reviews

Functionality review

The app is fairly rudimentary, as the site is. But it has some functionality issues. There are times where having the application open will pause background music/podcasts and you have to restart your music and close the app. That could be fixed.
The “alerts” or “breaking news” pings are absolutely dumb in the way they work.
There’s also a cache issue with photos that were on the page associated with links – you can see as you’re scrolling the images get replaced. Old images remain cached and aren’t properly replaced or cleared in a timely fashion upon opening the app again.

Overall, Matt Drudge (if he even runs the site anymore) should be ashamed that this application runs so poorly. It’s not hard to find a company who could make an iOS app better than this. Even if it’s a simple site, the application should work properly as such.

No longer relevant

Drudge Report used to be a decent (a term I will use loosely) fairly unbiased new reporting source.
Fast forward 5 years later and it’s become nothing but a propaganda based, over the top leftist shell of its former self.
When you are constantly posting stories from Yahoo, you know that a company has truly hit Rockbottom.
Some of the absolutely worst “news” website used as links on the DrudgeReport page, have made in an irrelevant source for any reliable news.
But hey, if you like senseless gossip sites like the Dailymail UK, TMZ, andthe National Enquirer, then you’ve come to the right place.
Read, be angry and be stupid.

DrudgeReport is an oasis of sanity in crazed election cycle

For those up in arms that Drudge is no longer conservative, I say it is the MAGA movement that has moved so far right, they can’t even see the center of their once honorable party. As an independent who used to vote Republican a majority of the time, I watched the party disintegrate into performative outrage and a willingness to cow to the Big Liar who made misinformation part of the platform along with tactics that the Grand Old Party who drafted the 14th amendment would be ashamed to see. If that’s your cup of tea, you can scroll right by this truly balanced new aggregate and binge watch Tucker.
