If you like Cracked, own a mobile device and want to appear more attractive to the opposite sex, this is the app you’ve been waiting for.

Chances are you’ve been navigating Cracked by tapping, pinching and groping your touch screen. Could that be why the man/woman of your dreams has yet to tackle you in public and make love to you? Almost definitely.

The Cracked Reader combines all of the mind blowing facts (did you know a zombie apocalypse is scientifically possible?), pop culture analysis (who’s the greatest Batman of all time?), and info-graphics (a body map explaining what your neck tattoo says about you to prospective employers) that have made Cracked the fastest growing humor site on the internet.

Fans are already calling it a major breakthrough in laughing at your mobile phone technology: “Like the Onion App, except it actually has articles!” – Comedy fan

“The thing they said about me is totally true. Buy this app or I’ll think you’re a pervert, and we'll never get it on.” –Man / Woman of your dreams.

To install apps directly onto this device, it must be jailbroken with AppSync installed.

Paid, can’t access

That says it all.

Great site, bad app
     
by Cracked reader · April 11, 2020

Love your site and articles, but this app is absolute trash. I’d have no problem paying $5 for a working app from you guys

A mess
     
by Rickstet5638 · May 3, 2020

Yes, the articles are mostly engaging and suit my attention deficit mindset but rarely do the pictures accompanying the article manifest. The captions to unseen pictures have been unintelligibly stacked on top of each other for years. Why this mess continues is a mystery. I wouldn’t think that cracked would endeavor to offer me this unprofessional mish mash of glitches yet it continues unabated. The latest malfunction—now the articles aren’t even showing up. I’ve never encountered ANYTHING this lousy and pathetic. Update: the app is now refusing to load the images. It’s if it’s slowly disappearing from my phone lol. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse

Much better since the upgrade

What the title says. Only issue is that the captions under the pictures stack (i.e. if there is more than one line of text, the subsequent lines will layer over the first rather than start a new row).

App Deleted
     
by JimmyKeebs · February 11, 2020

Pictures no longer load and captions overlap. No one at Cracked seems interested in fixing the app so I’m deleting it.

App has suddenly stopped working
     
by XLightbringer · May 6, 2020

I can no longer read articles, the app frequently closes, but hey.....at least I can still see the ads.

Doesn’t work
     
by Matt9942 · November 30, 2020

Every time I try to use the app it crashes.

It literally does not work.
     
by BigsexyKP · April 22, 2020

As of writing, none of the articles load. And most of the images weren’t loading months before. It is a waste of space. Ads work though. Hooray.
