Windows Central

Although I love everything this app has to offer, I really dislike that it takes 3 or 4 tries to open this app because it crashes so often in opening. Then it has issues opening pages, scrolling and pivoting.

The app crashes consistently.even with saved credentials I cant reply back to comments because the send button does not work. Very jittery on scroll.

This app works when it wants to. Crashes more often than not. Annoying. Can't use.

Freezes constantly, barely usable. In comparison Mspoweruser app is silky smooth.

*update* App is more stable now! Thanks ! 4 stars from 3 stars *update* App still crashes occasionally however it is able to run on background after update! There are still rooms for improvement though. Thank you for the hard work

Crashes on Splash Screen. Developer really needs to limit the amount of Network Based load items on launch. The app can't handle it. Personally, I think the additional forum\ comment code has made this app almost useless.

I last submitted a (negative) review almost two years ago, and this app just isn't getting better. With Windows 10 FCU, the app has somehow gotten worse - there are long delays from any articles being displaying once the app loads, and while scrolling there are intermittent hangs while the app is presumably pulling more stories. On top of that, articles seem to load out of order, so as I'm scrolling it'll hang to load in more articles that I already went past, shifting articles around. The website isn't very good, what with all the ads and slow loading, so I had always hoped that the app would be the better alternative. Sadly, that isn't the case. I still push through with the app since, for better or worse, it is better than the site. I like Windows Central very much and rely on the site for much of my Microsoft-related info. I really want this app to be better than it is.

In general, I like the design of the app; however there appear to be some corners cut with how it was developed. About 50% of the time the app will crash while opening. Other times it will freeze while running (on both Mobile and desktop). On desktop I can see high cpu usage when this happens so it has some bugs and inefficiencies. Sometimes in Mobile the buttons become unresponsive and sometimes tapping on an article will open an entirely different article. There are clearly some code quality issues with the app.
