Dear Developers The Root is a great app when it works It stopped working for me recently and judging from the reviews the app hasnt worked properly for others in over a year You have an app that people want They want it enough to install and reinstall repeatedly until they just give up Please fix the app so that we can enjoy the content that The Root has to offer or put us all out of our misery and remove it from the app store Thank you for your consideration Sincerely A Fan of The Root when it works Hello Is anyone there
Seriously Washington Post Can you not devote adequate resources to develop a decent app for The Root Interestingly enough the Slate app works just fine What gives The Root readers deserve a better app experience Crashes Constantly
I really enjoy The Root because it always has informative and relevant historical content that I like to discuss and share with my family particularly my children Relevant historical content
Very good Joe
Again and again Crashes
Its an ok app I have it both for my phone and iPad The app for the phone hasnt been updating or it crashes Just OK
This is the best news app out there Reader
I enjoy the Root and recommend it as one source for news about AfricanAmerican communities but the content doesnt change quite fast enough The Root good but
Itz ok 4 me Root
Crashing issues are fixed and the app runs quickly and smooth Love it Awesome Update
Just what Ive been waiting for
I love this app because it provides a unique perspective on current events as well as including a large variety of fascinating topics from the past and present The only problem that I have with it is that certain pages dont open properly and some images cannot be seen Great Articles
Long overdue update Glad to have u back Much Better
I love the Root and was an avid reader even before the app was created The app tends to do something where youll be in the middle if a good article then it suddenly disappears Somewhat annoying since it only happens occasionally Once this is fixed it will be great Good Content but
This app is great Love it Quicker access to all the info Thanks Great App
This app is soooo slow Slow App
I really enjoy reading the articles written on the root My app has never crashed on my iphone The writers provide great analysis and opinions backed with real facts Keep up the good work Moving onward
Please fix the functionality that allows you to post to Twitter and Facebook This has not worked for a while now Needs fixing
It keeps me up to date on the issues that matter to me Great site
Well since the website update the app now doesnt work at all smh Doesnt Work now
I enjoy the articles The Root
I love The Root but this app keeps crashing I have had issues with this app since I first downloaded it months ago I enjoy reading the content but it gets really annoying when you are in the middle of reading something very interesting and the app quits on you Severe Crashing
Love The Root and love the app Only wish the podcast came out more frequently Love it
Uptodate news Love the links to fuller articles I include The Root my daily reading so that I can stay abreast of the news impacting African Americans politically culturally and socially Hats off to The Root Good information
I do enjoy reading the articles on The Root as others have already stated However I too have run into the issue of when Im in the middle of reading an article and the App crashes This is happened on more than one occasion Another issue is trying to open an article only to have the app freeze up youre unable to open the article But again for the most part I do enjoy the App Pretty Good App
Great app Great app
Well I guess I downloaded the app after all the bugs were fixed because its a great app and Im happy to have it Great job Root Happy to have the app
Excellent Great Very informative TearBug2 The Root
Before the update I enjoyed reading the articles on this app now it freeze and then crash Now I cant read the articles It will be nice if you all fix this App stop working
This app doesnt let me log into my Facebook account and keeps giving an era message for my Twitter account NEEDS REPAIR DOESNT RESPOND
I love the articles and I have my youngest son reading from the root Good reading
Unaccessible content gets a bad review from this erstwhile follower of things newsworthy Fix it up or shut it down That is all Reader of Content Writer of Reviews
Great news by and about African Americans quite a change from my regular news sources that focus on negativity Root
I reiterate every other review Please fix this because I used to really enjoy this app One star is too many for a app that wont even open No stars
I really enjoy this app because the analysis of the articles are almost always spot on and they cover so many important issues that specifically deal with African Americans That being said there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed First for at least a week now Ive been unable to access any of the articles through the app It tells me something to the effect of Were unable to load content Please try again later This needs to be fixed immediately Second the staff insists on saying Quote of the day instead of Quotation of the day A quotation is a noun quote is a verb How is it that not a single person has realized this error I think it really hurts your credibility if you dont know the difference or refuse to address it Either way you should fix it If you address these problems I really dont have any qualms with this app Please take these criticisms into consideration and correct them as soon as possible Current Problems
This app has great potential but lacks when compared to its online counterpart It has no comment ability and a few bugs when clicking links as well as with twitter and Facebook Fix these bugs and the rating can go 5 easy Great app but lacks
Great way to keep up to date with news in the black community The Root
This app regardless if it allows posting to FB or any other social networking site is a GOD send to those of us more interested in present or past information regarding the heritage of AfroAmericans People of Color Blacks Colored its on my birth certificate Slaves both past present Africans or any other term those whom skin doesnt crack while out in the sun and or due to aging decide to call themselves Many lose sight of the actual message in their haste to show others what theyve read and or actually learned Ceilos The Root app Review
I use this app daily Great articles
Cannot close once email has been sent Totally stays stuck and will not go back to home on app Completely had to log out of my phone Hadnt any problems before today Really baffles me Removed app completely from my phone at this time Keeps crashinggetting stuckcannot close
This app design is clean and easy to use However reader comments are a big part of The Root online Adding comment functionality to The Root app is a must Good Could be better
Cant post to Facebook at all Comon now Other than that the app seems very promising Facebook
The site just crashes or wont open at all Highly disappointed Fix this problem
Very informative app minimal issues Cant see pics and videos sometimes bc I have an iPhone but still the news and commentary are provocative and current Its great reading Love the news
How is possible to design a so bad application that crashes all the time and NEVER open Whoever designed this application must win the prize for the worst ever application designer UPDATE I have a new IPhone 4S and FINALLY this application works fair no more than it Worst application ever
I like this app quite a bit but was extremely disappointed when I discovered there was no search feature and no way to search for articles prior to mid summer 2014 Possible to search online but not within the app Also cant send feedback from within the app for the email address is listed as invalid so I could not voice my concern directly to makers of the app How disappointed I am Search
The ROOT engages me to think on current ideas and events We should support our Black entities Support our Black entities
Where is the ability to make comments Good but we want better
This could be one of my most favorite apps if it didnt crash or freeze so often Review for The Root App
Timely and informative Root of Truth
