About Fark® Not News Reader
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."
