What happened to the Drudge Report App?
App was working, now it is not and no longer available in the App Store.
You are wrong, I do care about it, and it is disgusting whoever removed it.
Question marked as
Probably because Apple didn't delete the app. So they have nothing to explain. Now I realize that Matt Drudge is such a shy, reticent kind of guy who wouldn't think of stirring up trouble, so if Apple had removed his app from the app store it would never occur to him to complain about it to his audience. Oh, wait...
The fact is that Drudge hasn't said a word about it in the 8 months since it has been gone. I can only think of two logical possibilities:
- Drudge removed it.
- Apple caught the app stealing user data.
Even when asked directly, Drudge has ignored the question. So I would lean towards the 2nd possibility. However, for the first possibility, last June drudgereport.com was completely redesigned to make it "responsive" - that is, have it dynamically adapt to the type of device it is displayed on. It's really rather attractive now, whether viewed on a computer, a smartphone or a tablet. And each view is different and optimized for the device it is viewed on. So it's likely that PTB at Drudge decided they didn't need a separate app that they would have to continue paying for and supporting.
What you can do to access the Drudge Report is to go to https://drudgereport.com in the Safari (or other) browser on your phone. And if you use Safari you can even save the link as a "favorite" with its own icon on your Home screen, just as if it was an app.

I don’t think we have enough information about this to automatically absolve Apple. We will eventually find out.
Ah, yet another who jumped in with both feet and sank in quicksand because they didn’t bother to read the rest of the thread.

I think it's called "virtue signalling".
And despite declaring “no-one” cares, here you are, caring enough to reply. Isn’t cognitive bias a funny old thing? Smh
I concur. Time to switch now 😕
What did Matt Grudge reply when you asked him why Apple removed the app?
We care enough to educate you and anyone else who would blindly follow a mislead endeavor.
this was already suggested. see page 6, in fact see page 1-6, this really has nothing to do with wanting to get an app, it never did.
I'm afraid rational reasoning has vanished from the United States (and many other places, also).
And what reason would that be?

“Works better” is a subjective opinion based on (an) assumption(s).

I'm confident that no one has told you anything confidential about this issue.
