Description
FARK Reader version 7.0.0 has been redesigned to take advantage of the latest features of iOS 16 and 17. It now better adapts across various screen sizes for iPhone, iPad, Mac and widget. What is Fark? "The first thing you should know is that Fark.com isn't a Weblog. Fark.com, the web site, is a news aggregator and an edited social networking news site. Every day Fark receives 2,000 or so news submissions from its readership, from which we hand-pick the funny and weird notable news -- and not-news -- of the day." (www.fark.com) What can I do with the app? Quickly scan the latest Fark headlines from many categories (Main, Sports, Business, STEM, Entertainment, Politics, Fandom, Fark Party, Podcast, D'awww, Food). Select the funniest, stupidest, or most interesting. Read what other Farkers are saying and add your own thoughts. Share headlines/links with friends via email, text message, or social media. "..it's pretty clear that it's funny. Really funny. So, to both Farkers of the world and to those who have never heard of it…if you like the site, there’s an app for that, too."

No need to change
I’m really tired of app designers who make unnecessary changes just to show off. These newest “upgrades” are an example.

Fark is linking to annoying links now
Been reading Fark (and paying for it happily) for years. Love the puns, references to things only older folks know. Great app first thing every morning. BUT...

Ok when it works
Every few weeks the app will close as soon as you open it, the only solution is to reinstall it. Then you get a new problem as every section has the exact same ...

Topics not correct
All of the topics other than “Main” are messed up. It appears that the “Main” topic contents are displayed under all of the other topics. I.e.: “Politics” has t...

Liked the old format better
Can’t read the whole headline, I see fewer articles per page, and takes longer to read than the previous version. Very poor interface choices. Just go back to t...

Turn off Autoplay?
80-90% of articles have full screen autoplay videos that are persistent (pop back up after being closed). Very hard to use this app. Of course this is not reall...

Too many ads
Every article is loaded with so many ads you can’t read it. For comparison, pull up a story on Fark, then pull up the same story on the original website. The di...

Text size not adjustable
Lots of people have to adjust their text size for ease of reading, but if you make it too big, then the new format cuts off the link text. If I have it where I ...

Whenever I click on a news article, if that piece has a video element, there is no way to close the video player and just read the report. I have to force clos...
